One year I was well above treeline on Mount Katahdin when a storm quickly moved in. I nearly sheet myself, could taste metal in my mouth, hair standing on end and me crouched into a tiny ball praying for my life for about 45 minutes. Funny how religious one can get in the face of danger. I saw lightning literally bounce off the rocks, strike after strike. No fun that day, my ears rang and I was sore from head to toe for about three days after.

if you survive a lightning strike
one of the worst things about it is.....
your memories are wiped clean...as if your hard drive had just been formatted.
you won't know who you are....or your family...your children...anything!!
so thats when you just have to say...NO----> to one more cast......  |
