[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1810944, member: 42731"] Closest I ever got to being struck that I can remember was when I was probably about 14/15 or so and we had about a set of paddocks out around the side of the house used mostly for horses, we boarded some in there too. It blew up a bad damn storm, the kind of one where the whole world seems to be swirling in the wind and the rain is falling in damn sheets. My bastard of a former stepdad wanted me to go get something off of the fence or something, I can't remember exactly what it was, but lighting was already pretty prominent out on the edge of the place so I was [B] sprinting[/B] like Forrest Gump. When I grabbed whatever it was, I doubled back and was [B] moving[/B] and when I was about halfway back to the house (which was only about 60 yards from the fence) the whole world flashed bigger than all hell and I heard the most hellacious racket behind me and I ran even faster. When I looked back after I got to the door, lightning had struck the oak next to the fence not 10 yards from where I'd been. [/QUOTE]
