Default Re: Lightning strikes in coastal nj

About 10 years go, I was under tow going up the Arthur Kill and lightning struck the Outer Bridge itself and I was almost directly under it

The flash and deafening boom are simultaneous that close.

All was well except for a change of underwear was needed.

Take solace. If direct hit, you'll never know it
