Default lightning while in a boat.

I was in the cut close to LNG about 20 years ago and had anchor rope in my hands. I was watching a storm off toward the jetties and was going to reset anchor and was shocked. I didn't hear any strike but i felt the jolt and i threw the 20# anchor in a bucket and haul azz to the dock wide open.. The guy with me still had 2 lines out when i tied up and went for the truck. Scared me pretty good... I don't mess around when i hear a storm coming and have a lightning app on my phone.
