What's the closet you've been to a lightning strike?
My dad and I were getting wood up in the mountains once. My dad would go up a hill with the chainsaw and cut down and dead logs and roll them down to me and I would load into the truck (he didn't trust me with the saw after I almost became an amputee).
Clouds were building and about 15 feet away from me a bolt hit a tree and caught it on fire. I filled my pants with poop and my dad came down the hill and shoveled dirt up onto the tree and put the fire out then changed my poopy diaper.
