<>_<>.I Was Just Struck By Lightning.<>_<>

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a thin strip of white flash in the window that looks onto an alley behind my apartment—it was so thin it might have been traveling down a wire. Suddenly my left arm shot off the keyboard, pulsing with the same weird combination of numbness and pain you feel after grabbing an electric fence, if you've ever been dumb enough to do that. It was enough to shoot me to my feet, and I stood there for a few seconds wondering what had just happened.
  Then I ran into the kitchen to tell my roommate. He wasn't very impressed; I think he threw a skeptical glance at my not-flaming hair and un-singed eyebrows

I think I'm OK. My arm is sort of sore, but that could just be from all those enormous weights I lifted today at the gym. I got off lucky. "Indirect lightning strikes," as they're called, are rare, but can be very serious. According to this medical paper (PDF) one woman in Ireland hit by lightning through a telephone went deaf. Also, "her menstrual cycle was disrupted":

An unusual effect experienced was that on the day after the lightning injury, she had her menses 7 days ahead of time, and for 3 months her menstrual cycle remained at 23 days as compared with her pre-incident 30 day cycle.

This will hopefully not be a problem with me.
