I'm deathly afraid of lightning...thanks to my father. I was about 4 years old and out playing on our back porch during a thunderstorm...when my father tells me to come inside or the lightning will strike me and fry me like a piece of bacon....To this day I stay clear of windows...if it starts storming while I'm out, I will wait in the store for the storm to pass before I'll run out to my car.
