Growing up, I was told to exit the pool when there was rain. It makes sense- relatively small volume of water + significant voltage can conclude pool day pretty quick.
But what about the ocean? If water conducts electricity, how does lightning not spread to every beach all the time?

The surface of the entire planet is proportionally more water than land and the oceans are deeper than our tallest mountains.
