Years ago, lightning struck a school that was across the street from where we lived.  It was so loud and frightening we were terrified.  Before long smoke was coming out of the roof of the school, then firemen arrived and began fighting it.  The whole thing was destroyed except for the rock walls.  The roof was gone, the insides, only a rock shell remained.  This incident made me very leery of lightning storms.

I've never put much thought into this but I would have to say lightning. During bad storms, it crosses my mind!

Neither. I have not felt I was in that situation of being hit by either one of them.

Either of those options are going to be painful or deadly.

I have heard of people being struck by lightning and later changing their lives. Near-death experiences have a way of making us wake up and see things from a different perspective.
