Jason Bunch was listening to Metallica on his iPod This is just too rich! I wonder if he was listening to this classic Metallica album:
Metallica. What better music to get struck by lightning while listening to! Anyways, glad he's OK and now he'll have a great story to tell. Maybe he'll get a call from the band.

A good friend of mine in high school was struck by lighting while she was playing softball during summer break. She was killed instantly.
This boy is very lucky to be alive, and I hope he gets his hearing back soon.

She was killed instantly.Sad to hear that. To be honest, lightning freaks me out. I've lived in Colorado almost my whole life and now I live in North Florida. Both places lightning storms can come out of nowhere real quickly. I get indoors fast where I can enjoy the light show and booms from safety.

"I said, 'I did not stand you up. I was struck by lightning."' Man! I've told some whoppers, but this tops them all.

Mother Nature doesn't like acid rock either.

Lightning scares the heck out of me. Lightning kills more people per year than any other weather phenomena.
When It starts storming around here I always unplug the computer from it's electrical and cable connection.
I used to go to Cocoa Beach to visit the parents in laws and Florida has some really good and scary lightning storms.

Seriously, "acid rock" does not, um, accurately describe Metallica.

My son used to listen to Metallica with all the screeching. If I were Mother Nature, I would have struck a long time ago.

Sorry, that would be flooding. Most of the deaths attibuted to flooding are from people driving into high water.

You never know - check out
US Park Ranger Roy C. Sullivan who's been hit by lightning seven times...and is still alive.

Whatever you say about Metallica, all their greed and talent turned into an equal volume of dynamite isn't fit to be used to blow Ozzie's nose.

North Florida?
I live in Ocala and have heard it called the lightning capital of the world. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but man I've never lived in a place where electrical storms are the given, and not the exception like it is here.

Listening to metal head music tends to make one wonder if he had any brains left.

True, but then what were you listening to when you were 17
And back on thread, can you imagine how uncomfortable burned ears must be, ick.
