Whether you were personally struck, your horse was struck out in the field, your neighbor or friend got hit, electrical outage?..

    Lighting has struck my house before.

    It is loud but not that scary. I have lost a few hundred dollars to ruined electronics this way.

    It sucks. I would lose a lot more if it happened today. So much more stuff is electronic.

      Ditto, lightning hit our house when I was a kid. We had a TV antenna with a lightning rod so it was more scary than anything else.

      Despite UPS w battery backup for main computers and surge protectors on most dumb things around the house, I still unplug things before a storm out of paranoia.
