One day after swimming we were sitting on a leather couch playing guitar hero. Both me and the girl next to me were soaked. Lightning hit a tree in the front yard, roughly 1k feet from the front door.

Electricity traveled through the surge protector, fried the surround sound, and travelled through the Xbox into the guitar. It melted the contacts in the guitar, shocked me, but the girl who was sitting next to me got POPPED.

Tl;dr, electricity can do crazy things.

House got hit when I was taking a shower as a kid. Blew up the tv and vcr. Destroyed a lot of shite but I didn't even know it happened until my dad came banging on the door yelling for me.

That protector explains why robust protection already inside the surround sound and Xbox were compromised. Microsoft also recommends no protector on the Xbox.

If a house is properly wired, as defined by code, then lightning does not threaten anyone in a bathtub or shower.

Honest question, what is the difference between your shock and her pop? Did she make a noise?

You might not want an answer. Blow up dolls pop.
