How does electricity know where to go/where the path of least resistance is?

My wife and I were talking about the best way to avoid getting struck by lighting, and I was saying you want to avoid being the path of least resistance by staying in your car, or making yourself a small ball and staying on your toes when my wife asked this question.

It doesn’t, it goes all the ways, and lots of electricity goes the way that has low resistance, and not much electricity goes the way that has high resistance, and the low resistance way sucks all the electricity away from the high resistance way.
