Thunder-storm at Red caves

On the last Sunday (on May, 10th), rising from Red caves on Dolgorukovskuju jajlu, our group has got under a rain. Rains this May was already much, therefore anybody especially was not surprised and not frightened. Have stopped, have pulled raincoats and have gone(send) further. But the cloud has appeared with a surprise and soon we have heard peals of a thunder. Situation, basically, regular - a thunder-storm, the open slope, behind it(him) even more open by a plateau. All is clear, it is necessary to be hidden. However even in such obvious situation, even at such cautious person as I, the decision to stop "has passed(has taken place)" with a scratch. In fact under a rain to go much more warmly, than to stand.

And still, after second fluctuation, the decision to be hidden was accepted. We have gone down in a hollow, have hidden among low apple-trees and bushes and were covered with an awning. Through pair minutes in the same hollow "has rolled down(has slid)" arisen it is not known whence group of cave explorers. So we we stood minutes 20, have waited while a thunder-storm will carry on pair kilometers and have gone(send) further. On road have found a small wet hare who motionlessly sat among colors(flowers) and has not got under way from a place even when we began to photograph it(him) close up.



Here and all history. Anything interesting. But I was not left with an idea, that all not so is simple. Too the thin side separates this quiet narration from history of another, potentially tragical. All also would be good if I was not frightened and have not stopped group? Other instructor as would make? And can stop it is necessary was even earlier? Whether it was possible to be hidden by all together, or follows will disperse? (besides one business the theory, and absolutely another to order to the got wet freezing people to miss on a slope and to squat pending new instructions(indications)).

These ideas podvigli me on deeper studying of a question which result became a writing(spelling) of next clause(article) about safety in a hike: Protection against a lightning in mountains

P.S. According to the message of the press-service of the Ministry of Emergency Measures, on May, 10th nearby 16:00 from impact of a lightning was lost two krymchan. It happens with an interval 15 minutes in different corners of area Dzhankojskogo of Crimea.
