eek

When I was a kid a friend of mine ran into some nearby woods during a thunderstorm and stood under a large oak tree, (yes stupid I know!), and was thrown across the ground when it was struck!

He was bruised badly on his right shoulder and never again stood under a tree during a storm!

Regards

I think I saw something about a guy being hit by lightening like 5 or 7 times at Ripley's Believe It Or Not @ Branson.

Been electricuted but never by lightning, had a bit of a lightning show inside one, lightning struck the electircal system and i saw a lightning flash from one hole in an outlet to the other hole (lol, cords are called nolla and fas, dont know the correct term in english so i will just call them holes as that is what they are) and a big bang with it. Strangly that outlet started acting "funny" heh. Never did check it out, even though i have been thought what might happen, but hmm i guess i was lazy. Don't live their now so. Thats basicly it. We have big storms here but they are not that frequent like the warm US, nice thing, its alot of power in there.

Yep remember something simular. Dont remember the number of times though, just that it was several times

Hmm had a teacher that was badly electricuted, his ticker has never been good after those moments. Not a lightning either, but he got stuck on a metal "shoe" and as it was industry there ware no fuses to cut the power, so he was stuck there quite a while, he screamed all he could but he didn't get an ounce of sound out of his mouth. He was lucky that there was a worker there who saw him and knew what to do (ie not tuch him) That was one time of several, stragngley he still works as a electrision/teacher, good actually gives us people a knowlage of his expericne as well as know what he did wrong and lern from it
