Homebrew PCBs

Iv been shocked twice by lightning, second one I actually saw/seen it. Kinda like a broccoli head and shaft ... but upsidedown and white. It looked like 3 blocks away and didn't look to have struck ground. Was climbing a single flight of stairs up to my friends porch .... had a utility feed over the porch ... felt like someone hit me over the head with a stainless steel whip or small rod. Hurt but not bad.

      Amend that to unvarnished wood floors. ;') Asphalt tiles or ceramic tiles are good insulators.



I do agree with what you are saying.



To paraphrase another poster, I've never been hit by lightning but I still won't go swimming or kite flying during a storm. On the other hand, I've been out backpacking and I don't bring lightning rods or a Faraday cage with me.
