Almost Got Hit By Lightning… In My Bedroom

Maybe living on top of a hill isn’t so great after all. Lenore, Vader and I were in the bedroom as a thunderstorm was rolling in last night. Lenore and I were in the bedroom getting ready to go to bed, and Vader was in there because he was freaking out that the thunderstorm was going to kill us all. Turns out that the dog may have been on to something.
As we were talking, a particularly loud clap of thunder sounded outside and there was a flash of blue light right above my head. I couldn’t see it, but Lenore sure could. She said that there was an arc of electricity that stretched from the window to the ceiling fan that was right over my head. So that arc went about six feet into the house in order to miss my head by about a foot and a half. Eep.
Vader freaked out while Lenore and I discussed how crazy it was that lightning came into our house. Maybe we only think we’re that much smarter than dogs.
Awesome, possibly the best story ever
OMG! O_O You know, it would really suck if something killed you this soon after I just discovered who you are … but, heh, this isn’t really about me. Glad you and your girl and your dog are okay. And thanks for the picture link.
What!!! That’s crazy. Just when you think it’s save to go to sleep.
I didn’t know you liked Giant Squids. I love Giant Squids. Maybe I did know that but I was trying to ignore the fact that you liked something I like.
Great job on Letterman, by the way!
