I was once sat in my bedroom just about to plug my ariel into the wall socket.
Then, BOOM, CRACK!
The house ariel got hit by lightning. Lucky escape. Blew about 15 tiles off the roof.

I love storms.
Was once sat in Switzerland in the alps. Me and my Dad on his goldwing sat in a cafe watching storms.
The storm was in the valley below us. Fookin amazing to watch.

if the lightening is earthed you probably wont even notice apart from the flash.
didnt you see top gear do that test with a golf acting as a farad cage when they hit it with the quivalent of a lightening strike

you are fucking kidding me right? the rapid air pressure change is enough to give you a monster headache, and the thunder will deafen you that close
