O crap...

When I was a tiny kid my grandmother used to tell me about the Norse god Thor, and that whenever there was thunder outside (which by the time she was telling me there was) it was because someone had made him angry and he would crush whoever it was with his hammer Mjolner. The thunder would be his goats racket when galloping and the lightning would be his strike with the hammer. She also asked if I had been a nice girl and not done something to anger him.

That might be a reason why people are frightened of lightning. And you're crazy for going outside during a storm! O.O

No... Keep imagining that it'll hit something, and create damage or worse. I'm a paranoid one, yes.
