My dad got hit by lightning

Post by LawL »

A few hours ago a whole system of severe thunderstorm cells started popping up in the Mississauga area. We got over 60mm of rain in less than an hour and it was still going on. My mother was really worried about the gutters in the front. I kept telling her that it doesn't matter if bucketfuls of water are leaking through the gutters now because there are no basement windows at the front of the house. She wanted to grab a ladder and clear the gutters but my father wouldn't let her. I mean come on, there's friggin' lightning and torrential rain out. So he decides to get up on a steel ladder with lightning right on our house. I was down in the basement for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden I heard the loudest smash/bang/boom/whatever sound you want to call it. The whole house just shook and the first thoughts that came to my mind were that he was either hit or fell off the ladder. I immediately raced out to see that my mother was bringing him in. He was hit by lightning. While he was on top of the ladder, the bolt hit our lightning rod and the electricity that separated from the initial shock traveled through all directions. One bolt hit my father but only managed to shock him a bit, only enough to leave him dazed and shaking. The only thing that saved him was the fact that he was wearing my rubber boots.
Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
