    You might want to warn people that, although the vid itself is innocent enough, it is on a page that is definitely NSFW. I wasn't expecting to find myself on a porn site, looking at a newsvideo about lightning.

    Not going to click the link at work, but I was once at a girlfriends house making out with her on her porch over looking her inground pool. We were all hot and bothered because of the roaring thunderstorm that had sprung up on an otherwise clear spring day when all of a sudden:

    BLAM!!!!!!

    Probably one of the brightest and loudest things I've ever experienced as lightning struck the pool and cracked some of the foundation. Of course, a near instant-death event does crazy things to the hormones!
