    I wasn’t close, but lightning struck my house when I was a kid. When we got home, most of our appliances and electronics were broken. My Xbox (the original one) was sitting on the garage floor above some rebar embedded in the concrete. The lightning went through the Xbox into the rebar and blew a chunk of concrete and the Xbox across the garage. RIP Xbox.

    Insurance paid for most of it after they came out and verified we were indeed struck by lightning.
