Lightning can strike, anywhere, anytime, and should always strike fear into your heart. Other things it can strike into your heart: huge electric currents and assorted debris.

With the basics of electricity, physics, and a touch of biology (just for giggles), we’ll cover the different ways your life could just end, fast as lightning. Remember: even when you think you’re safe, you never are.
