I disagree, sir.

The Daily Mail Comment is always worth a laugh - especially the feedback from the deluded punters. Go on cheer yourself up...

We used to smoke weed on a cricket pitch in Peterborough next to the local Radio Pylon... which got struck by lightning while we were about 100 metres away - we'd started running toward cover as it was pissing down - and the force of it knocked us to the ground (not sure if it was physical or a natural reaction to go to dive down when you hear something that loud?)

Proper wierd experience tho - the air seemed really chraged.. then a really quick change in atmospheric pressure and FUCKING loud and bright...

I met someone who was hit by lightning once. Proper hit, in the chest.

Apparently, you never get hit in the head, sometime to do with the electromagnetic field around your brain.

baws, utter baws.

"Both industrial shocks and lightning strikes result in deep burns at point of contact - for industry the points of contact are usually on the upper limbs, hands and wrists, while for lightning they are mostly on the head, neck and shoulders. Industrial shock victims sometimes exhibit deep tissue destruction along the entire current path, while lightning victims’ burns seem to center at the entry and exit points. Both industrial shock and lightning victims may be injured from falling down or being thrown, and the leading cause of immediate death for both is cardiac or cardiopulmonary arrest."

Lightning exits woman's bottom

October 09, 2006 12:00am
Article from: The Australian

A WOMAN has suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.

Natasha Timarovic, 27, was cleaning her teeth at home when lightning struck the building.

She said: "I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.

I don't remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had travelled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.
