Answer 2

Lightning struck the wires immediately above where I was standing, so I too dislike lightning, but it helps to know your enemy! Find out as much as you can about it and what to do and not to do during a storm.

Answer 3

The chances of being struck by lightning are remote, However the safest proven place to be in a lightning storm is in a car. I believe it is called faradays cage.

Answer 4

You wont get hit when you are in your room! dont worry i used to be the same!

All you need to do is to get your mp3 out and just consentrate on the music! Anything to get you off the thunder and lightning thing, you will be fine!

Apparently the cars the safest place

Answer 5

don't worry about getting hit by lightning..things happen ..if you worry about things that may or may not happen , you worry about nothing ..worry is non productive..if it doesn't happen ..you've worried unnecessary..if it happens  .. it's to late to worry ..so why worry in the first place..I was struck by lightning many years ago as i was sheltering in a phone booth (you know the old red ones) and it got struck and i found myself in a puddle over the road from the booth.. ..i don't know how i got there and i was apparently unharmed..so i think the booth took the electricity..

Answer 6

Someone I know had their house hit directly. It blew up all their electrics and they had to replace everthing. No-one got hurt

Answer 7

the house up the road from us did, the roof went on fire and made a hole :S

Answer 8

Yes, lightening struck our tv aerial about 22 years ago, you could hear this really loud rumbling/crackling coming down the wall and it blew the tv and video, it was quite freaky!!

Answer 9

I think our house got hit.

For a second, you could hear sizzling, and then the biggest thunder clap I've ever heard.

You know how they say if you count the seconds between the flash and thunder you can tell how far away it struck? Well, as you could guess, it was instant and LOUD.

It fried parts of our homes security system, which in turn, stopped our phone from working and the network card in our computer, which meant we were without phone and internet for about a week.

Don't be afraid, I love storms, I find it comforting to think that I'm safe within my home whilst the craziness outside
