Nov 18, 2008 - I had one close call like that I was right near a window when a bolt hit the ground directly outside & since then I was really shit scared of storms, However now I find that the best way too get over a fear of storms is too sit out the back & watch them which I enjoy doing. I guess after seeing this video you will understand why you should stay away from windows during a storm.
