Another member in a sea of insanity Group: Members Posts: 23232 Member No.: 12 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	So today it started pouring and my mom called me to tell me a very, very big storm was coming my way. I don't know why but I love rain so I walked outside to just stand in it. Realizing I locked myself out I ran around back when putting in the key code to our gate a HUGE lightning strike scared me out of my wits. But luckily I got the code to the gate and got back inside my house. So I had nothing else to do and expected the power to go out soon so I turned on the TV to watch as much as I could. I also opened (As in pulled the blinds up) a window next to my sofa. Now this is a window that's as tall as the wall so you can see a lot out of it which was my driveway and my gate. We live on a corner lot of a block and there is a telephone pole right at the end of the alley (which I could also see out the window) Anyway I was watching CSI when the whole room went white for a second before a HUGE bang shook the house and I looked out the window and sparks were just pouring out of this telephone pole. This is the closest I've been to seeing a lightning strike. (The pole was about 30 ft away from the window) -------------------- *And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.* Wiki - Movie Munchies - Super Mario Theta That's all folks

What the heck do you do, grab your N64, find the nearest field and hold out your N64 above you yelling "I'M KING OF THIS FIELD, MOTHER NATURE!"

...You turned on your TV in a lightning storm?

My TV, computer, and several other things which shouldn't be on are always on in Storms.

Nothing's ever happened to me.

Then again, storms haven't been strong enough to cause a power cut here for about 10 years >>
