It was....1992(?)...we were finishing up our light practice one Friday (football practice, at the University of Windsor) and it was overcast, but nothing terrible. We were by the goalposts, running through our playbook for the game on saturday. We were down in our three-point stance (I played offensive guard), just about to snap the ball when BAM!! Out of nowhere a bolt of lightning hit the goalposts. It was surreal. I felt the electricity travel up through the ground through my hands and feet and crawl through my whole body. My entire body seized up and I (along with the whole offensive unit) collapsed on the ground. I was fine after the shock wore off and it just really really hurt. A lot.
