In around 2001 I was watching a distant thunderstorm from my bedroom window, over the roof of the house directly opposite, when it was suddenly struck by lightning.  I'm told that I jumped backwards about six feet.  Never did use those underpants again.

I wasn't used to seeing roof tiles travel that quickly.

It's when being able to duck fast comes in really handy.
