We were having trouble with a window well flooding years ago, which in turn was flooding the basement. I was out trying to bail the water out, leaning against the house for support, when lightening hit the transformer. I felt the tingle in the aluminum siding, at which point I decided the basement was just going to have to flood.I was quilting with my back to the fireplace and there came such an unexpected and loud clap of thunder that I wrenched my back from jumping. My hand and wrist tingled a bit, too. DH thought it was hilarious.
You keep safe!
