Agreed - the couch is the safest position. But I always unplug my expensive TV during a big storm!
Nice one. Frigging autocorrect...
That reminds me of my childhood, running around unplugging everything ahead of a storm coming up. We’d lay on the bed and watch the fireworks on the mountain with the tv broadcast towers getting struck.
I’ve only had one personal close call with lightning, I was working a summer job in an auto body shop down the road. Sun was still out, storm was not that close or so we thought. A bolt of lightning shot through the eves of the shop, blew out the fans on both ends of the building. It has an odd odor, lightning, or I guess more accurately ozone. My first thought was burnt garlic toast.
