Beware Of All This Lightning

… especially if you try and film it from a balcony with a metal railing.
This Flickr user in Washington State was zapped by lightning while filming with her digital camera last month!
Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.
The whole story is here, from Wired.com.
