This is one crazy vid.

From her comments on her flickr page:

From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the "finger arcs" that happen when lightning hits.

FARK!

she was lucky!!

Yeah, that's mad eh?!

I have a massive scar on my head so I used to tell people that I was struck by lightning.

I thought I was being cool, until they started teasing me about brain damage or something lol

i have a cousin who's been struck by lightning 3 times.

you know that once you've been struck by lightning, the odds increase dramatically that you will be struck again.

i think they keep going up, but i'm not sure. you sort of become a little electric and the lightning seeks you out.

Are you kidding or serious?

i am dead serious.

whoa

I wonder if your chances of getting hit by lightning increases if you've ever been electrocuted

that i don't know. sort of makes sense.

aw crap

i wouldn't worry.

ive been electrocuted at least twice

i think it's a different electricity. otherwise anything electrical would be getting struck all the time.

You're doomed bluekatana

(I keep wanting to cut both your names down to blue....)

i know it's tricky.

maybe blue k and blue g?

mmm... yeah....

k blueg

i think it's a different electricity

Thank goodness someone other than my daughter and Mrs Dent say things like that.  I thought it was a problem with genes or something...  

shut up.

i'm just kidding.

seriously...........

Make allowances, Arthur...she is American

compared with Dubya she's almost sensible, at times

wow, you guys are harsh.

not really...our British superiority complex is meant in the nicest, most condescending way. We always like to see Americans (however late they may be) and definitely rate you above the Frogs, Gerries, Japs, Wops and Argies

... do you include Italians, Spanish and their derivatives in Wops?

Only the first mentioned...the other lot are Dagos

That's what I thought.

All are bloody foreigners!

or convicts

...and derivatives thereof

who are you calling a convict?  

BTW - that was a very eerie vid

Was too
