@syz – “If you happen to be listening to AM radio you’ll be unnable to get reception for the duration of the strike as lightning severely interferes with amplitude modulation.”

lol

Yeah, I raised a brow at that, too.

You can recharge your iPod through your, um, armpit.

You get hit with 10 to 25 MILLION volts & get burns and scar tissue on your bones, spine & anywhere else it wants…....

Several things all at once.
The electricity can interfere with the normal electrical activity of the body . The most serious result is cardiac arrest. The energy running through the body actually “Cooks” the flesh. The tissue dies and the effected body parts need to be removed. There can be both entry and exit wounds. The energy in a lighting bolt is so large that is cannot be recreated by man. People have been split in two, cooked whole, exploded, and /or all but vaporized by lightning.
Nothing good.

Eardrum ruptures are considered the most common ear injury in lightning-strike victims, occurring in 5% to 50% of patients, according to various estimates. Here is what has happened to some people and animals hit by lightning:

Strange skin patterns
More skin
Burns resulting from wearing an iPod at the time
More burns
Wardrobe malfunctions
Even more burns
Even more wardrobe problems
Sometimes results are just strange
A survivor
the EMTs come
Most common outcome
And typical outcome
Again
A boat in which a man was killed by lightning
Why you shouldn’t listen to Metallica in the rain
Lee Trevino when he was struck by lightning

And this is the official site that describes what lightning can do to its human victims, while this is a site created by Michael Utly, a lightning strike survivor.

***Poof***

@Darwin do you think the IPOD still works?

I haven’t been struck by lightening but I got a high voltage charge through my right index finger. A hole burned right through it. It took more than a year to completely close. I still have the scar 40 years later.

@Ron_C – Nope. The Ipod is toast.
