I was struck by lightning while showering. Nothing super crazy.

I was 17 at the time and had been doing yard work all day. A storm came rolling in so I quit the yard work and quickly hopped in the shower. At the time, we had a shower, not a tub, so the drain was in the middle of the floor. Well, after washing up, I sat down in the shower to enjoy the hot water, since I had been exhausted from working outside all day.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a flash of light from the bathroom window and then instantly felt like I got punched in my right butt cheek (my cheek had been touching the drain in the floor). I screamed and shot up off the floor and ran butt naked out of the bathroom. For the next few minutes my right butt muscle kept convulsing like I was tensing it.

Nothing came of it. I don’t have super powers that I know of.
