Reminds me of my dad watching the Rio carnival at 3 am in the morning on an old tv with a huge antenna during a thunderstorm; naturally my house got hit; the lighting strike hit a big tree right next to my house; blew a big branch; bounced to one corner of my house taking down a chunk of brick and cement; to finally hit the power meter. The current toasted all the electrical cables on the hose; burning telephones; vhs, fans and ultimately the tv on which my dad was watching the "garotas" lucky for him he was in the kitchen getting coffee; if not he would have experience the explosion of a 60s tv on his face!
