Was shutting off the power in my dad's Morton garage out in Worthington as a kid while a storm hit and as I walked out the door with the knob in my hand lightning hit a tree nearby and my hair stood up and my heart rate went insane for a couple minutes I'll never second guess lightning after that

I got caught in my 20' center console with a bunch of kids out by the plymouth sand spit. Lightning all around us. You could feel the air charge up then snap bang - lightning and thunder at the same time. Sounded like a cannon going off. Huge freezing rain drops and like 60 mph wind gusts for about 5 minutes straight. Everyone but me huddled under towels in the bow while I tried to keep the boat pointed into the wind. The cell just appeared around us. Never showed on radar.
