Sitting on my porch during a thunderstorm, and I the lightning hit a tree like 10 feet in front of me.... I could feel this weird vibe thing. Pretty fucked up.

that is all.

weird feeling isn't it to actually feel the EMF.

Last year i was in a hotel watching a lightning storm and a nearby utility pole was struck, i was a good 500 feet away and i felt it. it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Plus the transformer on the pole exploded, which was an added bonus.

I think the closest I've ever come was when I was pretty young; maybe 11 or 12 years old.

It was pouring down rain and I was riding my bike back home. As I rounded the corner to hit the dirt road, lightning struck a tall metal street lamp maybe 20-30 feet in front of me.

I didn't feel anything that I recall, but the thunderous boom was deafening.

I've been hit by lightning 42 times. It's nothing much.

Actually, I've never been hit by lightning, at all. However, I have suffered great sorrows due to static electricity.
