Lightning is not nerve-wracking for me. Even though I have gas lines in my attic, which I converted to lightning-proof black iron pipe, I have lightning rods, a whole house surge protection unit on my fuse box, and individual surge protectors on all home electronic devices. Now I just sit back and watch the show. Of course though, when I was a storm chaser - I went looking for the show.
