(0) Funniest less than a minute ago sweater_pups: wasn't even close, it was a block over and hit the tree. New York post. Of course they sensationalize it. As a kid we were playing soccer in a park. It poured so we went under a pavilion. A bolt hit about 15 feet from my friend as he was running. That was loud and terrifying. That whole feeling of hair standing up might be true but we were wet.

Magnus Eisengrim (0) Funniest less than a minute ago If you're still living in California, you should expect the wrath of God. Super Chronic (1) Funniest less than a minute ago I had lightning come within about 10-15 feet of me when I was about 13 years old. Walking home from school, and until that point it had only been moderately raining, Seattle-style, with no hint of lightning. It was right in front of me and looked and sounded like a thousand firecrackers going off, followed by a rumbling echo. I rang the nearest doorbell and a very nice man drove me the half mile or so to my house. Nobody in Peculiar (0) Funniest less than a minute ago Ha, ha.
