Heck yeah!

     I really did like that job. Except for tornadoes,  ice storms, severe thunderstorms with high winds and ground to cloud lightning. Yes lightning goes from ground to cloud. Just shy of 25 years.

Sure does.   And being close enough to a strike to realize that is a scary ear piercing experience.   

I've been close enough to SMELL IT.

I once watched lightening run from nail to nail on partially stripped concrete forms 30-40' inside a building and within inches of my workmate's hard hat, out the window opening and into the sky. It does have a peculiar smell to it. My uncle was opening a barbwire gate in the rain  when the unseen lightening juice ran through his bridle reins and killed his horse dead. Unpredictable stuff.

@dan hufferd that is pole barn erection machine. Drill the holes, set the poles, and swing the trusses.

I have seen ball lightning once.

Driving on the interstate, got caught in a thunderstorm and right in front of me in the median was a lightning strike and right above the ground where it hit was a big blue ball of electricity that was there for maybe a second.  Only time I've seen it.
