Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn?

I was struck twice by lightning twice in Vietnam as an Army Pathfinder  about 100 feet up a giant banyan tree  puting up radio antennas to tell incoming  Huey's if a
landing field was hot or not .
Good thing I always kept my hand on the wire I put  6 ft of   the antenna ground in .

Nothing like being grounded Shubert. 

When linesmen work on high tension lines, they don't attach themselves to the ground, they bond themselves to the high tension line!

Scary as f**** to me, but the physics is real.

Best,

This is a scary thread, but a wake-up call neverthless.

Has anyone here living in dense residential areas (think Boston, Chicago, New York, and such) had bad lightning experience?
