wood is a bad conductor. then why shouldn't we take shelter under a big tree?

It is because lightening occurs during heavy rain . water is a good conducter of electricity and when it falls on wood which is a poor conductor of electricity, it make wood also good conductor. so we should not take shelters under tall trees

Humans are better conductor than trees if the tip of a tree is struck by lightning and a person is standing under the tree then the current form of lighting Mein travel down the trees and jump toward the human conductor.
