Though this is not fishing related, I was watching some kids when I was in high school, and we were playing soccer on a field across the street from their house.
I knew that there were storms forecast for that evening, but I figured if the kids could get some "run-around" time, they would tire themselve out.
All I can remember was seeing the flash where everything turned white, and when we heard the BOOM we ALL LANDED ON OUR FEET!
My guess is that the lightening hit a tree, telephone pole or the fence surronding the field and we got "zapped" from the charge running out from the strike zone.
We were all fine, but we developed a better respect for what can/could happen if you play with fire. To this day I LOVE thunder storms. I have had a couple of camping trips where storms rolled over our campsite, and I slept like a baby.
The sound of rolling thunder can peak my interest and put me to sleep with equal efficiency.
