Been near a strike before, and it was crazy. No rain, no wind. About ten or so minutes before the clouds went wavy. A few minutes before the strike, people suddenly started to feel something wasn't right and piled into the gazebo we were in as all the reptiles went flat. The lightning struck the tree just behind us; it was deafening.
And that was the only lightning strike the whole day.
this fought never came to me until now.. lighting strikes looks like the clouds are having war battle with the ground of earth
@@truckbull6076 did you mean thought?
In 2002, Canada, a friend and I were drinking beer on a beach, lakeside and a bolt hit the water probably about 100 feet away from us, the bang and the heat, we felt it, plus the smell, was incredible, lightning has a unique odor and we sure smelled it, lol , we ran back to his mobile home, lol
@@therandomytchannel4318Oh yeah, you can DEFINITELY smell them. It's hard to describe the smell.
@@therandomytchannel4318I've smelled it too, I think one of the ingredients is ozone.
Living in Florida I was able to see some apocalyptic storms. I remember once waiting for around 40min to get to my car in a parking lot because a terrible lightning storm was causing strikes to happen all over the place, I legitimately thought that it was a dangerous situation despite people saying lighting is unlikely to strike a person. I absolutely questioned that logic that day. I still get nervous being outside during a kughting storm since that day....
The fact that Florida has more “lightning injuries” than any other state, does not necessarily mean it’s the lightning capital of the country. It is, after all, Florida…
I live here too and yeah lightning storm can get wild
It is very dangerous. I cut lawns for 10 years and I know of 4 people who I know die from lightning. All of us go back to the truck and wait in it when lightning is happening. One of those men I spoke to seconds before he was struck dead. Both of us natives and were doing the right thing walking back to the rig. I went to mine and he walked twoards his, about 15 seconds later he is struck and dead before he hitthe ground.
@@kylestake5698 4 people….? I call BS on that.
I once went to a church camp at a college just outside of Downtown Nashville Tennessee. On the last night there was a crazy thunderstorm. The bright, vivid lighting bolts striking the skyline was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
Been near a strike and will never forget the sound and how loud it was . It honestly sent a shiver down me was so scary loved thunder and lightning and always rushed out to watch them but after that I stay in doors now
Call of the Dead..as you run our to watch them
It starts to get a bit sketchy when it's close enough to shake your entire house and the shit on the walls
i just wanna know why were you going out to look at them ?
Lighting strike came at least 3 sec of him going back inside the boat.
@@1of1ss probably because it's typically not that dangerous and pretty interesting/cool.
“Avoid going outside during a thunderstorm“...Around 2 years ago the Midlands in the UK had an amazing thunderstorm at around 2.30am.
I stayed near my doorway that has a liitle roof leading up to the patio.
Just when the skies were calming down from turning salmon pink due to the storms. I saw the typical 🌩 mark in the house opposite me around 100/200 yards away in thier back garden. I could actually follow the light going down and went it touched the ground whoo holy hell the sound was soo loud. I remember crouching down and I was scared to move from my doorway 😨
Mother Nature is amazingly terrifying.
This is great for all of us who are tired of the videos of safe lightning strikes.
Fascinating to see caught on film. Thanks for including the glider.
I've been near one too. I was at my uncle's house while it was raining heavily. Me and my family like watching the rain to see if there might be any strikes, so at least I wasn't alone. While I was petting my uncle's dog, Brooklin, lightning struck near the house directly in front of us. I didn't actually see it, but I did see Brookln's face light up a bright lavender color. I saw her eyes widen up. The boom soon after that made me know for sure that lightning had just struck really close because the time from the bright flash to the boom was only a fraction of a second. Just writing about this is giving me flashbacks.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida and it sometimes gets pretty bad. I myself have been hit by it 5 times. And yes I lived to talk about it. First time I lived in West Virginia as a kid of 14 years old. I went around the mountain to get the cows for milking and was standing by a big tree. Never seen a cloud in the sky and it hit the tree and jumped over to my left shoulder. Knocked me down and out. When I came to I had burn marks all the way to my feet. My feet had had two holes blown out on my the heels of my feet.
Next time was in Vietnam 1967. We made a shower out of a 300 gallon tank and some pipe we just happened to find. We were in the shower when lightning hit the tank and down the pipe. I gotta say that hurt like hell. Then the last three were here in Florida. By the way I still have scars on the heels of my feet.
That's my experiences with it. When it comes a storm here I get real antsy...
Do you speak with a stutter now?
Just kidding but that's pretty incredible, and I have read that you are more susceptible to lightning after the first time it nails you. Glad you're still alive from the lightning and Vietnam
how many lottery tickets did you buy?
@@evastapaard2462 LOL None but I should have I guess...
@@marcgambone4240 No stutter but my wife says I talk like Forrest Gump... lol
@@Vietnam_Vet_67 You can still buy some...with your Forrest Gump voice!
wish I could hear that lol
Volts generally do not kill you, it's amperage that kills you. 10 million volts at 10 milliamps will get your attention, make no mistake... 10 volts at 500 amps will cause instantaneous dirt nap.
You don't know what you are talking about. The two are proportionally linked. Your home outlet is good to about 15 amps from 110 volts. If you are in water, it will kill you before the breaker pops. A car battery can deliver almost 100x as many amps but its 12 volts. You can put jumper cables on your nipples and hook it up to a car battery and barely feel a tingle while youre in the pouring rain.
@@majbach1968 I don't know what I'm talking about, yet you come into the conversation bringing up DC power... Apples and oranges.
@@BouncermanDotCom LOL. Electricity behaves the same way regardless of direction of travel. AC is DC but with constantly reversing polarity so that it can travel long distances. Besides, lightning is DC.
@@majbach1968 Lightning is both AC and DC.
@@BouncermanDotCom LOL. You're a knob
BEST CHANNEL EVER!!! THANK YOU
I was about 3m from a strike in our garden. I escaped without any lasting issues, apart from slightly muffled hearing. But the shockwave pushed me a few steps up the garden stairs. But it was so exciting. I got static shocks for days and still get them more than before , although I have no idea if that is related
You definitely got hit by the voltage gradient (which is like a shock wave that's released after an explosion)
@@yamligma The expanding air created a pressure wave which pushed against Paula. Hereaction likely made herun up the steps.
She is noticing and remembering the static shocks. No relation to the close lightning strike.
2:50 pause...you can see another strike just as powerful in the background...amazing!!!
You have real keen eye master Bilbo

When I was younger I was once by my grandmother and grandfather and they live in a forest. There was a terrible lightning storm and the lightning struck nearby in a tree. A few years later it happened again, but then I was on a school trip and we where all outside. It was SO scary and loud. Since then I’ve been always afraid of lightning…
Sensation video.The lightnings fluttered normally. great video + 1⚡️⚡️
5:11 I'll always remember this moment, whe a lightning struck a tree 20 m away. Thank god I was in my room in my house. I saw a bright flash reflected by a house across the street and immediately a BOOM! It was the loudest bang I've ever heard!
As much as I like the way Underworld presents some of his content, he quite often gets the facts incorrect. The current and duration from lightning strikes is plenty to cause burns. Trees blow apart when being hit if the channel travels inside the trunk because the water flashes into steam and creates intense pressure. When he remarks that people survive lightning strikes with nerve damage, he doesn't realize that survivors are not hit by the visible channel that we see but rather the precursor to a bolt which is weak enough to survive. Most of the time, though, survivors do encounter burns as well as nerve damage.
That’s what bothered me too, I mean that he got that fact wrong.
Yeah, there is no way you survive a direct strike from a lightening bolt. If it kills cows instantly by frying their organs and leaving a big burn in their strong hide, then humans are toast.
He seems to miss that "people who got hit by lightening" include people who got an electric shock by being too close to a tree that got hit by lightening, or some other object.
That's what usually happens, because humans are small and bad targets.
And when looking at people who survived lightening strikes? That's what definitely happens!
When we warn people about not getting hit with lightening, it's usually warning people to not be by the thing that does get hit by lightening...like a big tree in a storm. I was always told to watch out for lightening, in that context. Not just to avoid being hit directly, but to avoid getting an electric shock from something that actually did get hit with lightening.
I know people, like my uncle, who probably get included in the "people hit by lightening" statistic. He wasn't struck by the beam, it hit a tree he was under and the electricity traveled into him from the ground.
He survived, obviously. He's fine now.
Fortunately, the only damage was done by the presence of electricity in the body, and that's it. It naturally traveled into him from the ground, so nowhere on his body to actually burn. He recovered just fine in the end.
But yeah, he should still be included in "hit by lightening" statistic...because that stat would be almost nothing if it were just people who got directly struck by the beam...I mean, how often does that even happen? And how on earth would you survive that shit.
/ok end rant haha, agree with your entire comment!
most people who get" struck" by lightning dont. The lightning strikes near them and then dissipates out through the ground like ripples spreading out from a rock thrown into a pond. What then happens is that if you're standing with your feet apart, there's a potential difference between your left and right foot and that difference flows through you . It'll knock you on your back side and cause some burns, especially where you're wearing metal. it's termed step voltage
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 there was a lady on the news that got a direct hit and died. She was walking her two dogs. All three of them died instantly. So sad
Can you guys stop spewing false information? Clearly you don’t know what you are talking about and need to go back to school. Stop embarrassing yourselves.
I've never been struck but as a child, my father, my younger brother and myself we're caught out on a lake in boat during thunderstorm and I can remember lightening striking the water so close to us that I had a metallic taste in my mouth. Shortly after that, as we were speeding back toward the boat launch for cover, lightening again struck within 100 yards of us and hit a near by grain silo and sort of "spider webbed" off of the top if it to the ground throwing sparks and I could taste the metal again. I'm nearly 30 now and I still am very apprehensive about being outdoors during a lightening storm.
It's actually a sign that you were indirectly struck by the lightning. Ever stick a 9v battery to your tongue and get that weird metallic after taste? That is from a weak electrical current passing through your taste buds causing hydrolysis (the break down of water into oxygen and hydrogen) and making your mouth ever so slightly more acidic. The proton's that make up the acid cause a sour taste. Additionally, you will get a flood of protons from your salivary glands into your mouth if the current is strong enough which will intensify the sour flavor.
So, you can say you were struck by lightning. Just not a direct strike.
This is the only plausible story in this entire series of comments and, the only factual explanation.
Your description is so vivid with a wealth of detail that I felt like I was there with you man holy shit 😮
I've been struck by lightning 3 times in my life (I'm 52, now). The strikes that I have experienced been "offshoots" of the main bolt, but have hurt, nonetheless.
I got one of those and don't want another
So you're out?
WOW - so glad you've survived! That must have been terrifying.
I hear ya brother..
At lest it wast ground lighting that shit cooks you feet first head last for its striking the sky ground up not sky down.
I had a couple instances of lightning striking my street when I was in my backyard. I had just finished cutting the grass both times and it was lightly raining and I saw the flash then immediate bang. Both terrifying and beautiful
Here in Florida you wil have rain on one side of the road and literally look across to your neighbor and they have no rain, dry and it’s so strange but cool. I also once saw a lighting strike not even 50 feet from my front door striking my driveway and almost blowing out windows and my eardrums
I once saw high altitude lightning move from cloud to cloud.
There are photographs of people who survived lightning strikes, they have injuries that show damaged nerve networks, like lightning on their skin.
Rare to have lightning where I live, my mother was terrified of it. We were having lightning one night and my mother wanted a cup of tea so I told her the house was grounded, no fear of getting hit. She went into the kitchen and the second she walked past the microwave, a lightning streak came in I guess through the socket and jumped from the microwave and hit the stove. I saw the streak go across the kitchen, mom lit up. One second earlier and it would have gone right through her. We started screaming and dad jumped out of bed and came running with his belt, thinking we were being attacked. It's funny now but at the time it was a WTF moment.

Great Commentary on Lighting!!!!
Years ago while watching tv during a thunderstorm, lighting struck somewhere outside the building and my tv sparked and popped before it started smoking. I ran out the room so fast!! I literally felt the electricity in the room!! A circuit breaker inside the tv is what popped and prevented a fire.
You guys have to try harder. I'll bet you could have dragged out these 5 strikes to at least a half-hour, and you could have three episode$.
It seems like the speed is running a little slower too.
Lightening can strike from a storm that is 25 miles away. Be aware of thunderstorms. It doesn't have to be raining or cloudy to be struck. If you know a sever storm is within a 25 mile radius, be aware.

I had a near miss once. I was driving home from work and lightning struck an open farm field not more than 30 feet from me. I could feel the energy of it through my body and I had a tingly sensation for about an hour afterwards. It was very surreal.
Same with me! I'm 99% sure lightning struck within 10 feet of me one night I was on my computer. My whole room lit up and I had the weirdest metallic taste in my mouth right when it happened
When I was 8 yrs. old my brothers and I were picked up at the local YMCA pool that was closed early due to a severe lightning storm coming into the area. On our way home we were sitting at a red light intersection and a massive lightning bolt struck the telephone pole within 20-30 feet of our car. I will never forget the flash, shockwave, and explosion from the strike.
We need to harness this energy and store it. Free electricity.
When I was a child, I was playing with some friends when a thunderstorm started. The closest shelter was under a hump back bridge. Beneath the hump part of the bridge was a flat bridge. Lightning struck close to the side of the bridge. Smoke from the burned vegetation came under the bridge. When I got home my mum smelled the smell of smoke in my clothes and smacked me for playing with fire.
hah!
My wifes friend lost 4 horses and 6 cows in one strike. They were all under or close to a giant oak tree. All of the horses had the bottom of their hoofs blown out. The part of the hoof that is called the frog. but all ten animals died instantly with no pain.
I was close to a lightning strike once in 2005. Christmas eve, about the middle of the night, I was sleeping on the couch because I wanted to fall asleep by the lights of the Christmas tree. I love storms, so the thunderstorm for me was just the icing on the cake. A bolt of lightning struck the telephone pole on the street outside my house, making the power go out for a good couple of seconds. It was so loud, my ears were ringing afterwards. It was exhilarating and terrifying. I was a serious rush! It was so cool!!
I was in a camper in the mountains when a strike hit about 300 feet front my camper. The crazy part was that I had just woke up around 3 in the morning, it was pouring rain, and I don’t remember why but I decided to look out the window and like 10 seconds later the lighting hit.
Beautiful vid😍..looks simulair to Pecos Hanks vids.Nice job🤗
I love this channel so much
no you don't
I appreciate the highly informative side-commentary in between entries like the thing about how people are actually injured by lightning and especially how planes now are lightning proof.
Some people, especially frequent flyers because their jobs need them to, need to know a little more regarding just how safe air travel is and no mode of travel comes close, so that they will be less anxious about their flights going bad, and so that people get less afraid or even phobic of flying in general.
thank u so much for this beautiful video I subscribe ur channel I really appreciate ur video
Lightning hit a tree in my backyard, went through the shed one side and out the other side, then hit the computer in our house and killed it. Later while going through the shed I found a suitcase full of Christmas lights and some pennies that the lightning had gone through. I bet those Christmas light were the brightest they had ever been. The pennies had spots of melted metal on them where the lightning went through them. Unfortunately I lost the pennies.
When i was 9 years old. It was thunderstorming. I was looking at the lightning. When all of the sudden. A lightning strike hit the rode in front of us! but instead of being scared. I laughed.
My dad's father was struck by lightning in August of 1960 and killed.
He had been fishing that day and had sheltered under a tree.
His clothes were ripped off him and there was a four feet wide crater where he had been struck.
This happened at a place called Clayworth in England.
Ramsbottom - Lancashire
I've been in two homes over the years that have been hit by lightning and the force of it goes right through your body like an air exploding vacuum , that's a feeling i will never forget .
I experienced a Lightning strike on Monday this week. I was sitting in the schoolbus like every other day but we had a thunderstorm warning that morning. A car drove past us and that’s when it happened. A lightning stroke right into the car next to us. It was literally just a few centimeters away from where I was sitting. The Car was definitely broken after that but as far as I know, nobody got hurt.
Everyone in the bus screamed in shock and some people even started crying.
Super scary…
I live in Miami Florida and I can confirm that the weather down here is extremely unpredictable. When it comes to weather, Florida is extremely bipolar. They say it's gonna rain and it doesn't rain, and they say it's not gonna rain and it does rain.
That sounds like Alberta lol
I was in Miami a number of years ago when we were driving down the road. Suddenly the bottom dropped out of the clouds. It wasn't rain, it was buckets. We could not see to drive. After 5 minutes it stopped.
Same in Tennessee
In florida even the weather guys don't know what the weather will be. Also if they say 90% humidity it is raining at 100%
My tour in Southeast Asia stationed me in Thailand, many times the thunder from lightning would actually shake our hooch. It reminded me of the earthquakes in my home state of California.
I have been hit by lightning a few times. I have had to deal with severe migraines, and my hands constantly shake. I'm lucky that is all it did. I used to live in Florida.
Lies
@@majbach1968 So negative. No lies

Time for you to head on down to Orlando.
Wait for a hefty T-storm during rush hour, take a stroll in it,... keep try'in til you're hit directly. Then c'mon back to the thread with your own experience.

Whats a matter, you're just mad at anybody?
@@bradbarnett5464 No. I'm informed.
"Lightning strikes are one of Mother Nature's most dangerous events."
I don't think this is true. It is beautiful to watch!
I once saw one strike directly across the road from my bedroom window in the dead of night. If I had to guess, it was about 100 feet away.
05:40 dog 🐶 reaction 😂🤣
In no:3- the shirtless guy looks like his hand was hurt!! He was closest to the strike, and it knocked him off his feet!!
I’m from Orlando and was in a golf cart that was struck. Loudest noise I’ve ever heard.
As a Floridian myself I can confirm I love lightning storms, and close strikes are always just AWESOME to me. I do also take lightning safety VERY seriously. I don't feel safe outside if any storm is in the area. I also make sure to unplug my PC, can't afford losing that.
Planes now have anti lightning technology
Starlord: don't you think we should all have technology like that?
Thor: no
Those horses are true Floridians!
@ 5:50. I feel sorry for the two dogs; not the discount fake Rambo trying to impress his friends by wearing no top and battle fatigues.
11:30, yeah, that is so strange. The chair keeps making him go out to take it before lightning appears.
NHL's Lightning was struck down by Avalanche
One time a lightning strike hit are house and made the internet go out for a day!!!
The Filipino guy next to the pole seems to have gotten hurt some how, he was holding his hand and saying ahh like he was in pain.
I know this sounds stupid, but if you are near enough to a lightning strike, does it feel like the sound is cumming before the strike. It is of cause at the same time, but I think that the brain uses a bit more time to process the image than the sound.
Luckily I had my helmet on, right after getting off my motorbike, and my ears were fairly protected because I was nearly pushed over by the blast alone. LOL, I was scared for lightning maybe 3-5 month later before I again could enjoy thunder again.
our house got strucked by lightning in 2021
How do you turn a 4 minute video into 13 minutes? You talk all the way through it and examine each clip as if it was the most magical video clip in the world. 🤔
One time on a flight, descending towards Philly airport at night our wing was struck by lightning. I was at the window seat centered on the wing and happened to be staring at it.
The flash was blindingly bright. Whole plain shook, the rumble of it was like a subwoofer. The strike may have been the loudest thing I've ever heard.
The best description I can give is a flashbang. Ears ringing, huge sun spot in my vision for a solid 5-10 seconds.
There was a brief moment where I was like aight this is how I go lmao.
Lights flickered for a second, but the plane was fine to my knowledge, landing was smooth.
Glad you guys left #4 to mostly play out. The sound was cool.
bro has been holding his shit in for the whole video my man 🥲
my aunt was visiting me one time, and like 10 seconds after she got out of her vehicle, she almost got struck by lightning... it was realllllyyyy loud. she said she screamed really loud, but we (my family) didnt hear her scream because of the lighting strike...
Just be safe everybody because lightning ain't no joke
Watching 04.01.22. Thank you SDS.
The fact that Florida has more “lightning injuries” than any other state, does not necessarily mean it’s the lightning capital of the country. It is, after all, Florida…
... Floriduh.
It is the lightning capital due to its lightning deats per capita each year
Depends on how you want to measure it. Total lightning strikes by state, total deaths by lightning strike by state, lightning strikes per square mile et al...
@@sudonymh What if you measure it by the number of feral Floridians? Then it’s just not a fair fight…
I like that he gives lighting facts in between the clips. Pun intended ⚡⚡⚡
Thank you for sharing and I have experienced a real close lightning strike at my house back in July 2024. Can you make a video about that? However, I recorded this video in Richland County.
At 4:06 there’s a huge UFO that bolts from the cloud. Amazing capture.
Put the pipe down, son.
🤣
I love a good thunder and lightning storm I am just amazed by them
That second one is incredible
Only on UA-cam do 5 lightning strikes take 12 minutes.
too much description for each video, no need for this kind of thing
Your best advice is to avoid lighting strikes??? Thanks, maybe one day I’ll consider that 👍
Increase playback speed 25 percent. Your welcome lol
Lighting be like 'er, sorry for the lack of warning, but that's me'.... Ker BANG 🤣🤣🤣
In 2018, my ears rang as I saw a thick streak hit the field. Than a bang. I laughed 😅 🤣 😂 😆 💀
The strike @2:52 was so powerful that it charged and burnt the ions in the air around the strike. That is what the green color is from and the white core. If you see one of these strikes in person you will not be able to see momentarily due to looking at the strike. You eyes will adjust to the brightness of it, and not the night sky.
As if Florida can't get any crazier
Looks like something you would see in South Carolina
That's the fastest they've moved all day 😂
My cousin back when she was six, she was almost struck by lightening. It was so close that when she went inside her mother said that she looked like a poodle. Her hair was standing literally on end. She was terrified of thunder storms and just recently got over that fear.
My cousin got struck by lightning when he was 15 ( he’s 36 now), since it happened everything tastes like ham sandwiches to him, everyone says he’s lucky, he says he’s cursed.
My dad has been indirectly struck by lightning twice. He used to work for VDoT (Virginia Department of Transportation) and he was last out so he was closing up shop. Storm was rolling in. The moment he grabbed both chainlink fences, lightning struck the fence on the other side of the compound. Knocked him back onto the hood of his truck. He's okay. The next time was when he tried to take a shower as a severe storm was rolling in. We told him probably should wait until after the storm passes, but he said he thinks he can beat it. About 3 or 4 minutes into the shower, BOOOOM! Lightning struck really close and we heard a bunch of skittering and sliding around in the bathroom. He come out with a towel around his waist and soap still in his hair, and in the most country way he said "The damn drain bit me!" Lightning had shocked him through the shower drain.
Technically he did get stuck, its called a mild strike
Shocking
5:40 the dog :D
Lightning struck my brother while he was shaving. A finger of lightning crept under an open window. It burned his chest. He stated he felt drained & took a nap. Never sought medical care. Years later he suffered a massive heart attack. They think when it hit him it damaged his heart. In our culture in thunderstorms we cover mirrors to deter lightning strikes because mirrors &water attract strikes.
9:17 - Airliners don't fly with the landing gear out.
It's just a simulation
Never thought i would my country's name in these videos 😂
Greetings from Tunisia
I was once almost struck by lightning, thankfully I was mostly uninjured besides slight hearing loss. But it was one of the scariest moments of my life
Lol this never happens to canada it’s just thunder and lightning no tornadoes in my cities
i like how he puts emphasis on the unpredictability of lightning like lightning strikes are predictable
The thumbnail looks like Kirin from naruto no cap
Lol. “With no warning”
It's not the volts that kill, it's the watts
You don't know "watt" you are talking about.
this video is really fascinating and well put together! i can't believe how powerful lightning can be. but honestly, i feel like some of these clips were a bit sensationalized. like, were they really necessary to show the most extreme moments? it makes me question if it's more for shock value than for education. what do you all think?
I was hit by lightening a little over 20 years ago. Was at work in the copy room, standing in front of the large copier when it happened. I remember it in slow motion.
That room was rectangular and had 2 windows, one on each end, that looked out on the parking lot. Copier was on one side of the room and the server was on the other end on a table.
BIG flash of lightening hit outside the window by the server along with a bang so loud many things in the room rattled. Scared the (censored) out of me so I jumped a little and my head snapped towards the window.
The lightning jumped from the ground through the window and into the server which threw off a lot of sparks and started a loud humming. Then the lightening jumped from the server, through the 5 metal file cabinets that were side by side between the windows, went through the left side of my abdomen while shoving the right side of me into the copier.
I don't know how long I was sitting, dazed, on the ground when I finally registered a co-worker leaning over me asking me if I was ok. All the papers I'd been copying were scattered around the floor. There was a smell of scorched paper coming from the file cabinets, and sparks were still coming off the server. The server and copier both had to be replaced. The file cabinets just needed to be wiped down inside and out.
The doctor said I was very lucky. The lightning had lost a lot of 'oomph' going through all the paper and metal in the file cabinets before hitting me otherwise I probably would have ended up in the hospital...possibly for an autopsy.
I ended up with a portion of the left side of my abdomen being quite tender and red for a couple of weeks and a line of bruises on the right side of my stomach where the lightening had shoved me into the edge of the copier control panel.
