I remember in either 96 or 97 i was playing medal of honor, the mission where you blow up the rail guns. There was a thunderstorm rolling in and i ignored it, thinking it was gonna be moderate and roll through, nope, next thing i know, a bolt a lightning comes through one window, right out the other, less than 5 feet away from me, didn't make the tv flicker or pop. Idk know how im still alive, nor didn't get shocked....but i sure was excited!

It happens all the time. The path of least resistance.
Wasn’t it Galileo who first discovered it? 🤦‍♂️
