A few days ago a man here in Denmark was killed by lightning (link in Danish) while out playing golf.
Then last night, or early this morning i guess, there was a thunderstorm over Copenhagen, and it was so violent and loud and bright that it woke me up.
I even tried to wake Allan cause i got a little scared, but he'd fallen asleep again and would not wake up.
This is apparently what last nights weather looked like, if you had a nice view of the city that is (picture from tv2's website)
I don't normally get, like, scared-scared of thunder and lightning, but i did when i was a kid.
Probably had something to do with my grandparents living in a house with a thatched roof (the house my parents now live in) and the fact that i actually saw a house up the street from us catch on fire after it was hit by lightning.
Actually i would panic whenever i would hear thunder, even when i was in class, and sometimes it would be so bad that i had to go sit under a table (it's pretty amazing that i didn't get bullied by the other kids for that behavior, but i guess i was lucky).
And right now i was checking out new trailers and came across this movie, a documentary about people who've been struck by lightning.
Featuring Paul Auster, who apparently has also been struck by lightning.
Something i would probably already know if i'd ever finished reading Hand to Mouth, obviously not my favorite Auster book.
I'm not actually going anywhere with this, in case you were wondering.
I just think it's odd, that's all.
It's not like there are stories about lightning on the news every day, or even week, and now all this.
