I'm told that when in a thunder storm and you feel your body hair stand on end, you're about to get the big zot.
Can confirm that myself, only a telephone pole across the street got hit!
When I was a kid I was on a YMCA canoe trip on a big lke in MN . When a storm blew in and our hair stood on end. Everyone thought it was a kick ..not me. I told the counselor we got to get to an island now. Somehow we did.

I was out reading meters one day. Storm was approaching. An old lineman told me to quit, and take cover, so I went home. I was standing looking out a back window, just watchin’ the storm. Suddenly my hair stood on end! Kablamo! Lightning struck a big sassafras tree 15 feet from the window. Blew it to smithereens! Sassafras holds a lot of water, and all that water instantly flashed to steam. It was like a bomb went off.
