my "special power" would be my skin gets really hot before a storm comes.
#TRUCK BY LIGHTNING SCARS FULL#
it has always been embarrassing for me to be a full grown adult hiding under stuff everytime a fucking thunderstorm happens. also i never had a fear of storms until that point.

she told me i was being a cry baby and imagining things and refused to take me to the hospital. i cried and screamed the whole way to my moms work. vinegred While the flashes we see as a result of a lightning strike travel at the speed of light, an actual lightning strike travels at a comparatively gentle 270,000 mph. i flipped the fuck out because i figured out what just happened. i got about a block away next thing i know is i feel this intense heat and all i remember is being in the grass with smoke coming off of me. it was starting to rain and thunder so i took off running in hopes of getting there without getting completely drenched. i was locked out of my house and had to run to my moms work which was 4 blocks away.

The scars, which bear a resemblance to natural tattoos, quickly garnered attention on the social networking site.READ THE RULES. Other names are "lightening flowers" or "skin feathering". Lichtenberg figures, or scars, are thought to be caused by a rupture from the electrical discharge. It is thought that 10 per cent of people struck by lightning die, with 70 per cent suffering serious problems including personality changes and even brain damage. Fatality rates are falling, but around 30 people per year still die from lightening strikes every year. Lightning releases a huge discharge of static electricity, killing 3,696 people in America between 19. Lichtenberg figures, named after German physicist Professor Georg Lichtenberg, are branching patterns created when high voltage electrical discharges pass through insulating materials, such as the human body. I love researching a new book - especially when I discover that, if struck by lightning, people are sometimes left… - why do these scars occur?
