And lightening can both come down from the sky and appear to come up from the ground .One man was walking home and was struck 3 different times in the course of returning home and proceeded to survive it !

A lightning bolt generates 1.21 gigawatts of energy which is enough to power your typical time machine.

Cookie Bean, I survived a lightning strike. No damage done, just felt hot for about three days. My doctor was amazed.
