I was struck when I was 14. Standing under the carport shooting arras into a target with my cousin. Thunder and lightning popping everywhere. His parents weren't home. We both shot, it was my turn to go get the arras so I ran like crazy across the year, pulled the arras out and was running back when lightning struck the VHF antenna, went to the AC, and hit the arras. I was about 5 foot from it. Knocked me down. I got up and walked to the carport. My cousin was freaking out. He ran I to call 911 but I stopped him because daddy would have beat my tail. We weren't supposed to be shooting our bows with his parents gone. I lived two doors down and walked home. Told my mom I didn't feel good and went to bed. Couldn't hardly walk the next day. It blew some holes in my tennis shoes. I didn't tell my parents until I was about 30 lol
