A few years ago I was fishing off a jetty in jamestown when a fast moving cell came through. A bolt struck a mooring about 50 yards off the jetty. I felt the charge run up my arm that I was holding my rod in. The muscles in my arm and hands contracted and actually left marks on the grip. It scared the living you know what out of me. The instant precussion of the thunder knocked the guy I was fishing with down on the rocks. We got the heck out of there real quick. To this day I am very leary of going out if storms are predicted.
