What was your "listened to my gut instinct" story? - Lemmy.world

I was riding my bike and all of a sudden a storm rolled in. I was getting close to my house but I started to feel the air get really fuzzy and the hairs on my arms started standing up. The air smelled like ozone and things really didn't feel right.

I immediately stopped and got off my bike and laid down. Lightning hit a post near me instead.

That's amazing! I've always wondered, what does a lightning strike sound like when you're that close?
Like someone dropped a dump truck from 50 feet directly onto pavement. Big boom you feel in your chest.

The hairs standing up and fuzzy air is the static electricity on the ground building up.

It's fucking amazing.
