Last November 24 of this year 2008. I was driving my motorbike on the way to the city. Along the way heavy rain poured and so I took shelter on one of the nipa hut beside the road. A few minutes later, 2 other old men took shelter on the same hut. 30 minutes after lightning and thunder roared together with the heavy rain. All of a sudden, my vision went blank with white color, then changed to fiery red. BOOM! There was a very loud bank. I could not see anything and I could not hear any thing for a while. After a few seconds, smoke was all over the place and a smell of gun powder. There was a creek sound as the coconut plant started to break and almost fall on our hut. And there we saw the coconut plant struck by a lightning only 3-5 meters away from us.
It was a frightening yet a good experience. Scary because we almost died, wonderful because you rarely experience what I have experienced :)
