Woah!!

I just got a lightning strike right outside my house. One second there's a light, the next a loud boom shaking the floor. I'm just glad my computer didn't go out on me from that.

 

Thunderstorms are fun.

 

i'm pretty sure it's more like this:

Spoiler

 

Keep on dancin'

 

>Lighting strike near my house.
>Less than a second: THE LIGHT.
>A second later: THE SOUND, shaking the floor and stuff!

First thing to think is...

What happened?
Am I alive? Am I alright?
Is everyone already

IS MY COMPUTER ALRIGHT?

 

umm, I'm thinking more along the lines of this

Don't worry, I've got my priorities fully set. Since I didn't get hit, I'm completely fine. But my precious wittle laptop might not be, so I have to worry about it. Especially considering what my mother put it through before I got it

 

Quick question, did you hear a snap before the lightning strike?

 

nope, the steps were these:
1) big lightning strike
2) I think "Oh crap oh man, this is going to be loud"
3) I hear big gigantics noise and the house shakes
4) I freak out saying "Holy crap, what the hell!?" surprised it was much louder than I thought
5) I make sure my computer is perfectly fine
6) After checking my computer, I immediately post this thread

 

In my experience I always hear a snap, then the following steps.

 

You know, I was struck by lighting 7 times. Once when I was walking my dog down the road.

 

You being serious? Wouldn't you get charred if you got hit by lightning?

 

You did all of this in 3-4 seconds, right?
Cool! 8D

 

It's a movie quote.

 

haven't heard of that movie, and definitely haven't seen it

 

Glad you're not did. Aqua and lightning don't mix well.

Snap, Crackle, Pop?

 

I'm thinking you meant to say "Glad you're not dead". But I don't think any human mixes well with lightning. Although maybe staff can. After all, they command a world above all others on this site. (and yes, I stole that line from Buso Renkin)

 

Skip to 33 seconds.

nope, it was much closer than that. The light covered everything. It was like someone turned the world's brightness settings to max. It was only a second, but it was pure white and nothing else
