I was riding my bike and all of a sudden a storm rolled in. I was getting close to my house but I started to feel the air get really fuzzy and the hairs on my arms started standing up. The air smelled like ozone and things really didn't feel right.

I immediately stopped and got off my bike and laid down. Lightning hit a post near me instead.

That's amazing! I've always wondered, what does a lightning strike sound like when you're that close?

Like someone dropped a dump truck from 50 feet directly onto pavement. Big boom you feel in your chest.
