I haven't driven over the Mackinac Bridge since that poor woman was blown over the rail in her Yugo. That was in 1989...I just Googled it to check.

I've also been struck by lightning, when I was 20. My bedroom had a sliding glass door going out onto a deck overlooking our backyard pool. I had the glass door open a bit during a thunderstorm and someone had left the metal pool dipper pole resting against the deck, pointing right at my slider. The lightning came through the screen. It was SO loud! I was lying on my back in bed and was thrown straight upward all the way to the ceiling. I wasn't hurt, but I was very scared. My parents thought I imagined it, until the next morning when my mom saw the pool dipper pole and found out our stove was blown out. So now I have a fear of closing windows when a storm is coming.
