Why was lightning standing in the garage?

My first thought! How did he get the lightening to do that? And what happened to the requirement that people be literate before they are allowed to write headlines?

[1rudeboy]

Get out of the rain, maybe.

[Krankor]

.....in his pajamas

Not a good idea to piss off mother nature...
or to be in an area when shes having a hissy fit..

Why was lightning standing in the garage?

Cause there were no chairs?

[nickcarraway]

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature

It was just checking things out. I wonder what "whole lights" are.

I agree...but you should probably learn how to spell "lightning" before you throw too many stones.

Low clouds?

We had two teenage girls killed by lightning in my county not 10 miles from where this teen was struck.

We’ve had those afternoon pop up tstorms all week...and they’ve produced some spectacular lightning shows. Knocked out our power about 4 hours last night.

Careful, that’s racist. /sarc

“whole lights”

That’s what Gynecologists wear on there heads

[central_va]

Did it “sound like a freight train”?

God has a really sick sense of humor.

Lightning is something I respect. If you hear thunder, lightning could strike at any time.

Take to the indoors and unplug the computer, flatscreen, etc.

Our roof, siding, air conditioning unit took it bad in our area last Saturday. It was the 3” hail that did the damage, but always beware the lightning.

"It happened so fast. It was just an instant. Just to see the look in his eyes and hear him scream" said Richard Bryan, Owens' father.

Owens suffered no burns or scarring, according to his mother, and was released from the hospital on Thursday.

Perhaps he wasn't actually struck, but simply had the $#%+ scared out of him?

[La Lydia]

But I make no claims of literacy!

Good points raised on the headline verbage.

As for the teen that was in the garage and got hit by lightening, I’m wonder what is the big surprise here. You can get hit by lighting while in the basement.
