If you're stupid enough to go out in the open holding a metal device in the middle of a thunderstorm, you can't really look for any sympathy when you get struck by lightning.

Robb Montejano was crossing a field in Seattle this weekend and instead of doing what every sane person would do when they started seeing lightning above them and running for cover, he whipped out his phone to record the spectacle. And then this happened.

Montejano told local press: 'I just felt this surge of electricity go ‘boom’ through my body. The electricity flowing through my body. I can’t describe it. It was amazing.'He's pretty damn lucky to be alive.
