Ainsley Jo Phillips, What a great story and thank you for sharing with us. I am glad to know that your Uncle Don experienced no ill effects, because as you say, it wouldn't be a great feeling and it the outcome could have been different.

Thanks for sharing,
Darlene

Brrrrrrrrr! What are you trying to do here, anyway!?! Give us all severe cases of astraphobia!?! I hadn't heard this about the toilet before, but I know that Uncle Don got struck by lightning while he was relaxing in the tub. Of course, the tub was right by a window.

Aunt Kate said that she thought it hit their chimney because there was a nasty smell coming from their living room space heater afterwards.

Didn't do much damage to Uncle Don as he was out doing some painting for us later that evening. I think it felt something like an all-over static electricity shock to him--which isn't exactly the greatest feeling in the world and one I could live without indefinitely!

WOW! Fascinating Darlene! And my luck…I’d be the one struck by lightening while siting on the toilet!

Absolutely fascinating, truly. Who knew lightning could literally blow your socks off!
Where did you find out the fact of women being six times less likely to be hit by lightning than men?

I never thought of it that way before, Anne. I think from now on I will get my business over with early and make sure the bathroom window is tightly closed, then hope that the storm will pass quickly.
