True. During this storm (wish I caught it), lightning struck up my street, around the bend, in someone's backyard. It was pretty terrifying/disorienting.
We had lightning strike a large tree in our side yard, maybe 5 or 6 years ago--while we were all home, nonetheless. It went through whole length of the trunk. Thankfully the only damage was to a circuit to that side of the house--it burnt out our TV. But geez...one of the most jarring moments in my life.
