lightning struck my propane tank once. Shit was fuckin crazy..

It like never happens, but it was a fluke because my well cap was right next to it and the lightning missed that and blew the fuck outta the tank.

And below is what the lightning struck..

Yeah, now that i look at it, in the bottom photo, if you look to the left you'll see a grey thing. That's what our well top looks like and that's what the lightning was directed at.

I had lightning strike a tree next to my house, bouced across the yard about 15ft leaving a burn mark in the grass and from there went to the central air unit and then the lightning fried everything pluged in the house.

Your life is basically over. You might as well kill yourself now.

Lightning struck my neighbors house a couple years ago. I was walking into the room in my house that has big windows just looking at their house. It was the brightest and loudest noise I have ever heard.
Also I would be pissed if my tv was fried because its not like they're cheap.

I thought by code houses are supposed to be grounded... and most new electrical set up have breakers to prevent this from happening... so take it as you needed an upgrade maybe?
