Each time we have extreme weather here in Greater Houston, I receive emails (that I signed up for) from the Regional Joint Information Center. In every email, they provide links at the end to their touted safety slogans: one of them is "When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors," which links readers to the NOAA-NWS Lightning Safety page -- "Lightning Strike Survivor Stories." This has made for some very interesting reading. I should really click on these mystery links more often.
One person claims to have been struck 3 times. Is there something to that? A real-life Powder?
Also astonishing, is the reported medical impacts of the survivors.
I'm not sure if they're just outright liars, fanciful hypochondriacs, or if the electrical impulses actually augmented their brain and they are interpreting their augmented faculties as psychic phenomena... this could be a fascinating study. It got me wondering if one day, I was struck by calamity in some form after a lifetime of familiarity with my own mental patterns... and my brain was radically altered... and suddenly Ne or Si was unlocked, would I interpret these newfound processes as extra-ordinary?
Thoughts?
