I remember a storm when I was on the roof of the hostel at the top of the hill in Newtown in the bit where the stairs go out onto the roof - it was when that big music festival was on at olympic park, (big day out maybe?) never seen lightening like it in my life, nor rain for that matter - one of the most incredible sights for me so far! Saw it strike the Centrepoint tower maybe 50 times.

was playing golf once with a thunderstorm going round us. My hair was sticking up with static, then a big flash and bang as i was about to tee off, got a bit of a tingle through the club! Dropped it and shit myself(not literally)

Still enjoy watching storms n that

if you have ever had a lightning strike very close to you, you WILL be frightened for the rest of your life, trust me


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

Yes, but he is not talking about bein harmed is he
