I was on my bus driving home from 2nd grade and lightning hit this old man and i was all like "WHAT THE jigglywoodenicecream CRAP?" And he was flying through the air when he got hit.

That's terrible!
What happened to the old man? ._.

I love lightning I remember when I was like 6 I would shut off the lights and stand at the window. Over here in Australia I just sit on the patio with a beer watching the lightning. In fact a line from a famous Australian song in the 80s goes like "On the patio we sit, and the humidity we breathe, we watch the lightning crack over the cane fields" XD

I like how mysterious it is and I am sure I saw ball lightning once. :O

I always stay away from windows and hide in a corner with my bedspread around me.
Same with firework, I just hate the noise.

It's beautiful I agree but also very loud and dangerous. ._.
I prefer watch it in a movie or something. XD [size]

Here in Australia we have intense thunderstorms, the other week we had a massive one when I was outside (luckily in my car). XD

Well there was this one time about 6 years ago, I was helping get some groceries out of my mom's car(did I mention it was night)and some lightning struck beside me, I ran in in my house but unfortunatly the screen door slammed my thumb pretty hard and my thumb nail broke off, yes the entire nail it hurt like hell, and as a guy I can litteraly say I broke a nail. Don't worry my new nail grew in a month later.
