A few years back I was in the process of leaving work while a thunderstorm was going on. My truck was probably no more than 100 - 120 ft from the building entrance so it was going to be much for me to make a run for it. Right as I was about to leave someone stopped to ask me a question and within 10 seconds of that moment a lightning strike occurred directly where I would've been walking.
Suffice to say I elected to wait things out a few minutes longer before venturing outside.
