I was just vibing next to the windowsill in my house LIGHTNING LIGHTNING GUYS LIGHTNING I thought I would be safe just listening to the sounds next to the window. New lesson learnt - DO NOT SIT NEAR WINDOWS IN A THUNDERSTORM I now have astraphobia So basically this metal valve stuck in the windowsill got struck by lightning. The chair I was sat on was probs about one/two meters away? My god it was brighter than heated magnesium- The sound probably made me temporarily deaf- Ears are still ringing Sorry just needed to vent about that- LK12
