I was nailed (somehwat) by lightning before
Last summer, I was in my garage watching an awesome electrical storm. Apparently being a dumbass, I was barefooted, on the concrete. The driving rain was making a small puddle at the threshold of the garage, so I picked up a fiberglass driveway broom, and started sweeping the water out. I didn't think anything of it, because I was inside the garage, not 'outside'.
Anyway, you guessed it... lightning hits about 50 feet away. Across the next second or so, I got nailed with what distinctly felt like 9 or 10 separate zaps that went up through my feet, and out my hands.
Hurt like a son-of-a-bitch, and made my muscles in my legs go nuts, and I fell to the floor. At which point, I am now sitting on the wet concrete, so I got up and ran inside, fearing another bolt.
Don't ask me how I know it was 9 or 10 'separate' zaps, or how I could feel the electricity going 'up' through my feet and 'out' of my hands... I just felt it.
