Last week, my husband was struck by lightning.
As if the odds of that aren't small enough, get this: He was sitting on the couch in our living room!
We had a really bad storm and lightning struck a huge tree in our front yard. Kyle says one of his eyes saw a flash of white light, followed by a dark after-image that blinded that eye. He also had a ringing in his ears. My husband felt the shock go in where his neck meets his shoulder.
Kyle looked over to our daughter, sitting next to him, and she was crying. (He couldn't hear her because he was deaf at the time.) The shock went in through his left shoulder and out his right hip into her. The baby didn't get the shock, but he looked pretty shaken up.
Kyle's hearing and sight returned after a short amount of time and there were no burn marks or anything. Everyone's fine, but I just can't believe it happened!
Who knew you could get struck by lightning while sitting on your living room couch?!

Yikes! That's really freaky. I'm glad your husband and kids are fine, though.
That's terrible. I hope you are all okay.
We're all fine. Not even any burn marks, thankfully. It's just such a freak occurence.
