I have some hairy lightning stories myself. I've had hits to the house and have felt the hair on my body standing out from the electricity in the air. Getting caught above treeline is especially dangerous. Now I know why you have such a magnetic and electrifying personality, Patti!

I might need a small hit now and then to get me going some days. <br /><br />Used to live in a small subdivision where four or five houses were hit by lightning within a relatively short period. Some thought that maybe some mineral in the rocks was drawing the lightning.

I have never been too awfully frightened of lightening...it's tornadoes that freak me out. I just told Mark yesterday that Arkansas is expecting to have a strong storm season (well weatherman Todd Y says so anyway) and that we need to work on a safe room. I am bound and determined to get one.

Colorado is also a state with high hits. I have had three close encounters, actually four if you count the time I was just plain lucky that nothing hit close-by. Once I was barefoot and sweeping with a metal handle broom when the house behind our house was hit. I threw the broom across the room as I felt the shock move through my body. Once a tree next to our house was hit just as I entered the house. I saw the computer explode (as in it went crazy) and heard an explosion. The tree, a cottonwood literally exploded and broke to pieces. Thankfully, our house was spared, but we lost all of our electronic equipment and our A/C was knocked out. Two years later another tree in the yard was hit. It burned up and the current traveled through root system and killed the tree across the yard from it too. <br /><br />Yes, you are a very fortunate woman. I do worry about strikes with pacemaker! I also have one of those shocking personalities and seem to always have a lot of static electricity. (I could have written a blog post with this long comment.
