DazharionI once saw a blue land on the shoulder of a little girl in a princess costume. That was awesome
artifexI once saw a guy get struck by lightning. Well I didn’t see it exactly since it was blindingly white followed by some moments of confusion. But one minute I was talking to him from across the street. He was under a palm tree about to get into his car. The next minute I was on the ground, he was on the ground, the top of the palm tree was charred and on fire, and on closer inspection the tires of his car were melted to the driveway. Not a cloud in the sky, so obviously the “May lightning strike me if…” jokes haven’t stopped near 20 years later.
ZachariahWell I wanted to be clear that I wasn’t talking about Roy Sullivan.
atomicbocksDid he survive or die?
My neighbor? He’s fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn’t seem like there were long-term effects.
Actually common in lightning strikes. Exit path gets burned to shit but otherwise you can be weirdly ok. The shock wave is what does the most damage
Having your muscles suddenly contract with all their power can’t be harmless either.
