Wrong mr Wong.
Lightning:
It is one of the most common causes of weather-related deaths in the U.S. Each year lightning strikes cause billions of dollars in property damage and complete devastation. Lightning can start a direct fire because the core temperature of a lightning strike is approximately 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
I had to go on a call once where lightning had hit a tree in the yard but traveled into the home through, if I remember correctly, a buried power line that took out several items like the fridge and microwave, etc. in the house. I forget exactly what repairs I had to make (probably the furnace circuit board) to get the equipment up and running again. What I do remember is getting a call back a few weeks later when they switched from heating to cooling (or vice versa...I forget) and having to replace the thermostat that was fried while not even in that usage setting. Learned that lesson the hard way. -

2021-07-16 at 7:51 PM UTCAn anecdotal story about when I was a young-baby-me-lad.
According to mummy...I mean mother, when I was a babe in my pram (stroller to you Americans), I wass doing what babies do in my pram in the living room of the house we lived in and an orb of ball lightning came through the window (leaving a melted hole)...went to my pram, rotated twice around the metal handle of the pram and then shot across the room into the electrical outlet and exploded.
Back then ball lightning was a myth, it's only recently it's been accepted as a very rare event.
It's clearly no coincidence that the ball lightning detecting what an amazing human resided in the pram so instead of blasting me to oblivion, left me alone and took out the fuse box instead.
Naturally I have only my moms word for this story...if I ask my dad about it he just says "dunno, I was in the other room probably" -

Besides, the rubber wheels on the carriage would have kept you safe. -

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence...God invented the laws of physics, he can disable them for the 5 seconds it took to zap that fucking nagga if he want's too. -

Evidence is required for everything, including God. Only a fool believes a thing with no evidence. -
