...well, sort of.
Yesterday I was doing the mundane grocery shopping thing early in the evening and when I left the off licence it started to thunder. So I'm walking back and all of a sudden I hear a huge thunderclap, see nothing but white for one second and I stop in my tracks. I felt strange and a little headachy and wanted to sneeze, but I actually puked instead. Some guy come running up to me and said, "Christ, are you okay, man?" Dazed, I said, "What happened?" He replies, "I think you got hit by lightening or very close to it. I saw the streak come right down near your head and you just stopped and dropped your bags."
:stunned:
Anyway, half hour later I was completely fine. I don't think I was full blown struck otherwise I would probably be in the hospital freezer by now but whatever happened, it was a damn close shave. When I got home, my hair was proper standing on end!
I just thought I'd post that because a few peeps in the shoutbox were asking.
