There is a freeper, can’t remember his name off hand, that got basically struck by lightning while in his home disconnecting the roof antenna from the TV set. As he was unscrewing the connector, lightning struck and got him. He’s suffered since to some extent.
Not saying that we should fear it, but it needs to be respected.
Sheesh! How terrible. They say don’t be near a phone (old school landline) and other things I can’t remember.
