She was ok because her son rod was nearby. :lol: :lol: :lol:
She said: 'It felt like I had stuck my hand in an electrical socket.'
Errm, and she knows how that feels because...?
Because she must have stuck her hand in an electrical socket at some point in the past. :)
Then wheres the news article about that exciting event?
Hmm... profound.
There are no articles. Which means she lied about sticking her hand in a socket. Which nullifies her claim of being struck by lightning... :eek2:
For reasons of intellectual curiosity and furtherment of human knowledge, I have just conected my left hand to the mains supply. I was able to sustain electrical contact for approximately 0.18 seconds. This was a mild sensation compared to that incident 3 years ago in the Lake District where I was actually blown completely to pieces by a particularly strong bolt of lightning.
Lightening is nothing like having your hand stuck in a socket. Its about 50 million times less fun.
People surviving lightning is not very unfrequent, thou.
from:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/feature...g_strike.shtml
"The chances of being struck by lightning are about one in three million according to the Met Office, higher than your chances of winning the jackpot in the Lotto" and always somebody wins the lotto...
"Lightning kills approximately 10% of its victims" i.e. the other 90% survive!
"the record for being struck by lightning is held by park ranger Roy Sullivan (aka the 'human lightning conductor') who survived seven strikes between 1942 and 1977" no comments...
and from:

"Rubber sole shoes (or rubber tires) offer no protection from lighting by acting as an insulator."
