There one certain time after heavy rain while it was still drizzling. I took hold of a lightening resistor rod kept in the store. What I felt in my right hand cannot be explained.

It's risky using a phone connected to electricity while it's raining as lightning can travel through the wire and injure you. It may damage your phone too.

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?..

Do you use pouch case for your phone?

Yes this happened to me in Nsukka
Whilst I was charging...the lightning struck the wall n it slapped the phone out of my hand.....
I even posted it on fb n my corper colleague saw it n commented it was because I didn't go to church...lol cos she was in church that time.
Prior to this day... few days back sha...
I had previously washed our dishes outside in d rain...cos we all know how hard it is to get water or the distance we go to get it...
I was a teacher at st Charles catholic college Opi.
Well few minutes after I had done the dishes n got into the room..
Lighting struck the exact spot I was washing at.

You need to drink milk and yoghurt. You also need lots of air. You might be needing blood tonic too.

Please let's all be careful,once bitten twice shy,Op thank Yahweh for your life.

The experience was terrible, I was charging my laptop while it was raining and AEDC had taken power as usual, but I forgot to switch off the socket switch, the movie was interesting, thank God I did not cross to the other side. What made the experience terrible for me, was the ear piece I was wearing to watch the movie. When the lightening struck, I sincerely thought my heart had exploded, the voltage I took in was such that my heart beat doubled. The ear piece caught fire in my ear, anytime I relive that experience I shudder, I really saw God's hand of deliverance. The laptop damaged. It was a near death experience.

do not charge and press your phone while it’s raining… very dangerous, I’ve experienced such before but not as bad as yours.

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.
I doubt if you know anything about electricity

twice though, the first one exposed my nerve sensitivity to even minuscle current, ordinary monitor de been shock me anyhow for my workplace, the second one made me develop self configurable genetic mutation, i heal faster and better than normal people, in fact almost all my scar has vanished, as an AA person, once i notice early signs of Malaria, and take just one tablet of the medicine, it'll take a long time and prolonged exposure to plasmodium before i fall sick of it again
