Lightning is NOT awesome. I'm super scared of it. And this is why. The next door neighbors of the family I work for had their house struck by freakin' lightning last night. It shook the ground in both houses, singed the hair on the arm of the guy who lives in the house, knocked out the internet, computer, and security system of "my" family, not to mention whatever was damaged in the house that was actually hit. The damage to the house itself doesn't seem to be very bad, and luckily it didn't catch on fire, but it sure did damage in its vicinity.

This is a piece of the roof that flew pretty far from the house.

Then a few different angles on the same thing. I couldn't get too close to their house without being in their yard:
