Speaking of a slight tingle Houghy...A good friend who also happens to be a chaser of sorts (well he goes out and watches) was watching the storm from near the beach and was indirectly hit by lightning, him and another guy were hit. They were leaning on a guard rail when the lightning hit it and sent both of them to the ground, both survived... We have even got a picture that we believe is the bolt that almost hit him... and the report from the pghotographer, its a bloody awesome shot I must say...

and the report: A cell just popped up out of nowhere and produced this stunning CG over Adelaide airport (or just west of it). I had literally just set the camera up under the front veranda when it happened. Sadly I think it hit something (or somebody) as there were a whole bunch of sirens going west along henley beach road (towards the general area of the strike) just a couple of minutes later ...
