    Yes. Witnesses figured I died each time. Temporarily paralyzed the first time and with a “missing” few seconds, knocked out cold the second time. I try to avoid thunderstorms these days.

      In Olde English ‘Vraylle’ surely means ‘one who walks about carrying a giant metal rod in a thunderstorm’. That’s got to be it.

      Seriously, when you were told you had potential this is not how you were supposed to demonstrate it! I hope you’re Ok and these incidents are just a good story you can tell now.

        Ha! “Potential”

        Yeah, was fine in both cases. First time it was cloudy but not storming. Literal “bolt out of the blue” that liked me more than the large metal pole next to me. Second was trying to leave a park before the storm rolled in (obviously didn’t quite make it).
