So my house was hit by lightning yesterday, the room in which

>my house was hit by lightning yesterday
You've got to be the unluckiest cunt of the decade. How loud was it?

cannot really describe the sound other than it stuns you, like you see the flash and then I usually count how many seconds after the boom hits but it was there instantly. I was also hit by a jolt of lightning that came between my keyboard and hand.

if there was enough voltage to shock you while you were sitting at your keyboard then your electronic devices were probably damaged as well.

I read a story some years ago about a library which wasn't struck directly by lightning, but it was close enough that the EMP induced current in nearby devices and damaged their circuitry. Lights flickered. Several hard drives failed. One unfortunate chap's laptop shut off and never turned on again. Considering your computer still works I would consider you lucky.

Do you have visible marks/burns on your hand? Also, check the other batteries just in case.

I think the jolt happened because my keyboard has an aluminium face plate. I think it damaged the remote controls circuit because that thing is dead. so yeah it's pretty lucky as it's the only thing that was affected by it.

no nothing visible just the same sort of buzz as if you've been electrocuted while putting up lights or other electric work in the minutes after.

How does lightening effect the remote control though? Wasn't it on the sofa or something?

could be emp, could be coincidence

lucky bitch, my tv got fried from lightning and it didnt even hit my house

>>9140507
I don't know, but I'm fairly sure that the battery overcharged the moment I tried to turn on the tv. When I flipped the remote to check on the batteries the oxidation hadn't occurred.

Oh you are full of shit.
That's what alternating current feels like.

Direct current has no buzz.

now imagine that wire was made out of plasma and it was conducting several billion watts in a split second.

I'm bretty sure he's talking about the feeling after the shock, you get a specific feeling after being shocked.

>tv didn't work until the powercord had been unplugged, and plugged back in.
thats normal, that is caused by the the protection function that a lot of pricey electronics have
>battery exploded
that happened because you are a shekel pincher
