Have you, or anyone you know, ever been struck by lightning?

I checked..I didn’t see that this question has ever been asked..

One time my ex-husband and I were standing in our living room during an intense electrical storm. Suddenly I felt a tingle literally move through my whole body and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. It just lasted a moment, but I looked at my husband wide-eyed, and he was looking at me the same way. A moment after that a lightning bolt smashed down just across the street from us.
From what I know of lightning, we could have been hit inside our own house.

My dad and his wife live in Florida. One day they were in their garage and lightning struck the ground really close to her….and then started dragging her away. My dad grabbed for her, and started pulling her back. Even though the lightning had hit and was “gone” it continued to be a tug of war for a bit.

Freaky.
