OT but I am over 50 (just) so you young things will have to read on...

When I was touring in France I had camped for the night and gone to sleep. There had been summer thunderstorms for a few nights but I was too tired to put the fly-sheet that night. In the middle of the night I was awakened by lightening and raced outside to put up my fly-sheet and got it staked down before the thunder came

This was in the very old days when you had tent poles, pegs and ropes.
