I was disoriented for a bit. I garuntee, if I would have though about my bunghole I would have crapped my britches but I didnt have time to think. It was very scary.

That'll make you ask the good Lord if you need to apologize for something. Wana make sure that wasn't a warning shot.
Lightening popped the roof of the building next to our shop. About 100' away or so. Yeah it's loud and scary as hell when it's that close. Lightening and needles. Don't want anything to do with them. Medical needles. Tattoo needles I'm cool with.
