It was raining yesterday and Fortunately Nepa refused to take light.....

I was Charging my phone and surfing the Internet when the Lightening struck.....

What saved me was my phone that dropped off my hands, i would have been gone by now....

My vision became blurry while my legs and hands went numb.....

Have anyone experienced such?

And what should be the first Aid treatment?..

Install a thunder arrestor in your house and you'd never see that again . Pęlę

Was charging and pressing the phone when the Lightening and thunder struck..

Even me sef think say the phone no go work again.... But it's working fine....

Just that i am still feeling dizzy....
that lightning didn't go through you or your phone man. there is no way the phone will ever work after receiving just normal 220v from the socket in your house not to talk of lightning that is sometimes in the range of 1 million volts. the highest transmission towers from power stations in Nigeria carry only 330 kv and you can even hear the sound of it going through the cable at some distance away not to talk of 3x that.
what you have is panic attack not anything from the lightning. all the same go to hospital and check out your blood pressure and heart echo tests.

This exact experience happened to me on 30th of October 2021
Lighting occurred not the thunder and all heard last was 'tick' sound that was the electrocution point at the time I thought it was rare you could see the wonderment when I saw this thread part of the reason is my phone doesn't have pouch or protective covering so I was exposed to its metallic body
Anyway it sure wasn't my 1000 ways to die

You'll be fine .. just take plenty food with plenty nutrients to replace wetin the lightning zap.. take blood tonic too and multivitamin..

Your house is obviously ill equipped to handle lightning, something that should be the standard in every building. This country sha ..

Also if you have a very good breaker or something, it should have activated immediate the surge went through the house..

You'll be okay.. next time no use phone while it rains . Reminds me of a place I stayed where lightning dey enter the house ... Be like horror film

LAIZA, the medical specialist should rush to answer you.

It was simply BUTTERFLIES in your stomach, it's nothing serious.

If it were lightening, you won't be able to type this thing.

Whenever it's raining with thunderstorms, I usually put my phone flight mode.

I use the flight mode to keep my annoying boss at bay.

@highlighted part - that's suicidal ! There have been several articles,even here on Nairaland ,why people should not make call,receive call or do anything with their phone while charging it. It's even more dangerous when it is raining as that's an invitation to thunder strike and avoidable death !

Op,please be more careful going forward and thank God for saving your life.

Even with thunder arrestor, it's copper, i installed it.

I have seen flash light coming out of wall sockets in the dark, when lightening occurs. It makes a hiss sound on the wall socket.

Make sure you never leave your ’phone on the bed or have it in your hands when it’s charging. That’s a recipe for disaster.

You don’t need first-aid treatment (you’ll live either way) but don’t ever do that again if you value your life. People need to know that it’s not safe to leave your mobile on your bed when it’s charging and very bad things have been known to happen in that particular scenario so just count yourself lucky that you weren’t burnt to ashes.

That was how it fried my table phone one morning . The voltage it induced on your phone only floated and the circuit could not be completed. If you hadn’t dropped it, you would have been the medium that could have completed it but you would have been gone by now.

Maybe you watch porn a lot and the merciful God decided to strike the phone instead of you. Confess your sin to the most high and he'll have mercy on you
