I was nearly struck by lightning · 12:33pm Jul 24th, 2015
I got up early this morning to go to the store before my mom had to go to work. I get home, grab the groceries, and start walking to my house when all of the sudden I feel really tingly. Before my sleep deprived brain realizes it's because there is an electrical charge in the air, lightning strikes the ground right next to my neighbors garage just ten feet away from me.
For about five minutes after my body felt like I stuck my finger in a light socket. It was pretty crazy... *was able to refrain from saying it was "shocking..."*
On the plus side, I was able to get a picture of a sunrise rainbow, plus a few pics that just look awesome.
*EDIT*
This is what it felt like...

Well shit. Good thing ya did not got hit by the ground discharge. It once striked one of the goalpost about 20f away from me about 5 years ago. Blew me right of my feet. Makes you remember nature doesn't take shit from nobody.
Holy shit, that was close.
Nice pictures. And, congratulations on not getting struck by lightning.
Lightning tried to hit me. I hit it back.
"You've been hit by- you've been struck by- a smooth 'Spearicles!"

What were you doing in a field in the middle of a lightning storm?

Who ever said I didn't fall on my ass?
I was on our cement patio when it hit, so now I have a very sore ass.

Feh, you should have actually gotten hit, everyone knows that's where the real fun is! It will light up your life!!
And, also may in fact kill you... So... Yeah...
I grabbed an electric fence once, that was good enough for me.

I would rather not almost die, thank you.
I was once pushed into an electric fence. It was not a fun experience...
3274468 Well you know, if you do ever get hit, and survive, You'll get a really kick ass scar out of it...
Still, not a recommended pastime...

I always thought it would be cool to have a scar in the shape of lightning.
I thought of Harry Potter after I typed that...
You should be depressed actually. You could've gotten a superpower. That's how it works, man. Science.
