This was something That had never crossed my mind.

It was wet out, we were pre-spraying so 95% of the floor was wet.

Not sure where it hit, but it was REAL dang close. So close it sounded like the truck got hit.

Tomorrow, I am OFF!

Unless they wanna pay double : )

you felt the static charge in the air from the lighting being close..........If you would of felt the charge from the lighting bolt with all the water from the rain and the wet floor you were standing on....you would be pretty well done and your wife would be the one typing us a thread letting us know what happen..........

It will scare the pee water out of you when it happens.......bet those tiny hairs on the back of your neck are still twitching..........

I felt it most in my Right hand, My fingers was resting on the metal bracket by pressure trigger of the Rotovac, was just scrubbing, no vac or HP line.
Tyler was 20' away on the top section, an hollered at the same time I did. When we made eye contact the HydroForce and Gun were in mid air from being dropped. Felt like being bit by 110 so heck yea my hair stood up, for awhile!

Everything was wet except for US luckily. It had started raining after we were set-up and doing pre work.
If one of us would have went out to get the Vac hose and really fire things up.....


De Fib time boys n girls!




I don't recommend pushing on through a Major Lightning Storm




At ALL !!

I was taking a shower at home once and got a bit of a jolt, it fried a bunch of transformers on the road I live on including.mine. So guessing it stuck very very close.
