Welsh girl, 10, survives lightning strike through window

Lucky kid.

A couple of years ago I learned a valuable lesson about riding a bike in a thunderstorm: DON'T DO IT. The rain wasn't coming down yet and I only had a short way to go, so I chanced it. On my way back home a bolt of lightning struck somewhere nearby, close enough that I felt a jolt through the rubber grips on my handlebars. I don't remember if I saw the flash first, or heard the thunderclap first, but I definitely remember the jolt.
