- 'I was struck by lightning in my house.' What you are doing inside your home could make a difference with lightning safety
My bed is right against the window and I don’t have room to move it 🫤
Same here only difference is I could move it but I like it by the window especially on the sunny days.
RIP
Lightning can energize plumbing pipes, plumbing fixtures, wiring, even wood framing, if you're near it, it might jump to you.
My house has been hit twice, 2006, 2012, luckily had lightning protection second time.
Years back, i saw a yard where lightning hit a tree, traveled inside on the copper water line, completely blew out any everything electric or electronic inside.
They Had to rewire entire house.
A south Jersey beach lifeguard hit by lightning on a clear day while storm approaching still 7 miles away.
Stay safe everyone !!
So it sounds like it didn't directly hit her, but the force of the nearby strike outside was so big that she was affected by it indoors, maybe via the ground. Very worrying.
Don't worry. You understood the story. No direct hit. Sonny forgot to mention whether his mommy was on HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE medications...
I was putting together a cake riser and lightning struck the wall in our sunroom... NOT 2 feet away from me a few days ago. FREAKED EVERYONE out, kids crying, dogs on alert, I was stunned. Sounded like a shotgun was shot 2 inches away from my right ear. Apparently it hit the fence post and jump to the outlet in the wall and then jumped to a metal tin sitting on the window seal... THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HOP OVER TO ME!😳
My ground floor apartment got hit by lightning one night, in 2019. I had earlier told our maintenance technician that there was a tiny hole in one of the bottom corner's of the rubber seal, that's around the outside of my window's metal frame. I said that because of it, I had found water coming out of an electric wall outlet in my small kitchen, after it rained one day. The rain water had drained into the hole and then trickled down the wiring in the wall beside it, until it dripped out of the wall outlet. He looked at me and said, "That's not possible," and then turned and walked away.
One night afterward in September of that year, I watched a severe thunderstorm outside of my apartment, with all of the lights turned off. It was quiet and peaceful, in my apartment. During one lightning flash, I suddenly heard, at the same time, what sounded like the roar of a circular skilsaw in my kitchen, about six feet to my left. It lasted for about a half a second, and seemed to come from my stainless steel kitchen sink. It made me throw my hands and left knee into the air, and look to the left. A few days later, I got the maintenance technician to come back and fill in the hole in the rubber seal.
Yeah, people think "Being struck by lightning" means it directly hit you. You can be zapped by lightning because you are too close. I was indirectly struck by lightning when i was 12, my 14 year old cousin was too. It hit a telephone pole about 10 feet away and threw her across the kitchen and i have no clue what happened with me. She got the brunt, paralyzed waist down for almost 2 hours. No lasting impacts thankfully for either of us. I guess like with all electricity, it went through me and she was the end of the chain, like static electricity experiments in high school where people hold hands and the last person gets zapped. Still feel it though, just amplify it a few million times. hah
It didn't strike your cousin INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. That's what this bogus story made you want to believe.
@@bagay-valabI am trying to understand what you mean
I was watching a storm that was miles away when I was 11. I was sitting in a metal chair on our deck (bad idea, I know). Saw a flash and immediately felt my elbow get a mild shock. No idea how close the strike was, but it must have been less than half a mile because I heard it no more than a second later.
I don't sit outside during storms any more lmao
THERE IS NO CENTRE PART OF MY HOUSE!!! IT'S TINY, ONLY LEFT AND RIGHT!
MY BED IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY WINDOW!
😊
You forgot to turn off your caps lock
@@cowuwu1 :(
Bro there’s a lightning and thunderstorm going on right now…
Run! Run to your basement!
This is happening to me rn! 😢😢 SO SCARED
Bruh, was the window OPEN!? Jeez.
Yes I need more details...a huge lighting bolt just hit outside my house and knocked power out. Was the loudest crack I've ever heard and I'm from tornado alley! I'm ok for sure...but just a bit rattled so am looking up whether I was safe inside or not, and turns out I was probably NOT safe lol.
damn... once had a strike hit a tree in my back yard, of course I jumped out of bed, but the thing that caught my attention is just how hard and fast my heart was beating. Like I was startled for sure, but it kept beating like that for at least 10 minutes. Eventually it settled down and I went back to sleep. :)
This is absolutely insane
This is a story?
Maybe it’s attracted to WiFi signals? 5g?
I have 5g! NOOOOO!
@@xaviercast970 stand outside in a thunder storm, use your phone whilst standing under a tree?
@@Gfysimpletons While holding on to a metal flag pole right?

This reminds me of how my nephew had a similar experience when a lightning strike destroyed a lamp on a tree, traveled through a wire, the side of the house where his bedroom was, did went inside and damaged a few devices and one appliance, he ended up with scarlet fever from the radiation poisoning from high voltage crossing through the other side of the wall, I ended up with elevated heart rate but thankfully it went down in a few hours, I was next to him he was against the wall so he took the full brunt of that energy, poor thing, but to him it was just like having a cold...thank god we both got well from this experience.
