“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. “

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.

Knew a fellow whose toilet blew apart from a lighning strike.

Lightning hits tree in yard and travels through the roots are that growing into the septic field

“Suddenly my hair stood on end! “

Had that happen once in front of an approaching storm. Freaky feeling indeed.
