As I was laying in bed last night listening to the thunder and seeing the flashes I got to thinking about the safety of being in a waterbed on the upper floor. What do you all think? Its heated and the heater has a grounded plug. !

Yeah, I know, but people pay big bucks to come here for warm sunny weather. Guess I shouldn't be complaining.

Interesting that the lightning bolt didn't hit that tower to the left of the house instead.Quote

In 2015 there was a house about a mile from my house that was struck by lightning late in the day. I was standing in my living room and I thought it struck the electric pole just behind my house. I took this picture about 5 minutes after the strike. It was fully engulfed in flames.
The people were home and said they had to hurry to get their kids and pets out before it was fully engulfed in flames. Volunteer fire dept was about 2 miles away and got there quickly. Only thing left standing were the front walls.
They sold the property and the new owner took a big bucket loader and cleared it off down to the slab. They built a new house using the old slab.
I realized if you get a direct strike, grab family and pets and get OUT!
