Your muscles operate on electrical impulses as dictated by your brain. An electric jolt of that size would as Andy said, cause your muscles to constrict. Its quite possible that it could cause you to pull/strain/tear muscles that way, even break bones.
If I recall, thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of air around a lightning bolt due to the heat genereted by the energy of the bolt. I wonder what the radius around a bolt of lightning is where you won't hear the thunder? You really oughta get checked out though. Ever see the movie Powder...? hahaha |

Jake, the number of people telling you to get it checked out, out number the ones that say that you don't need to, there could be issues later that might have not become issues had you taken care of it now. Don't take a chance, don't be stubborn. The Type 4 world is counting on you . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Seriously, get it checked out |

Okay..
Called my buddy down at the EMT station and he gets a break in an hour and says he'll hook me up to the dyno and see what I have got.... Maybe he has some sort of an addrennalin shot to pick my ass back up so I can finish this damn EFI install! |

If I jumped into the engine compartment of a 912 and was able to close the lid and look out of the vents I'm sure I would feel like crap the next day as well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

actually, the bolt creates a vacuum that then collapses and then the air gets pushed outward. kind of like an implosion followed by an explosion ... the radius around the bolt where you can't hear the thunder should be equal to the wavelength of the sound generated. i would think you'll need at least one full wavelength in order to pick up the sound. but you sure can feel the air-pressure!

Lid stayed open!! If I could have closed it I would have!
The only thing that has ever scared me that bad was when I crewed helicopters in the Marines and had a dual engine failure! |

Hey Jake
what would you tell a guy who over reved and had low oil pressure and had some "funny noises" coming from one of your engines? awh keep running it, it might get better? chances are your fine with no major injuries. but you have to at least get a look at whats in" your oil filter"and check for "bent valves". |

Good point- Never thought about it that way!
I'd say tear it down! But I'm going to be pissed if they say I want to be torn down. |

Quick test: Jake,....
1. How many toothpicks in a box? 2. How long til People's Court? 3. What's the square root of .0191951919? If you can't answer any of these questions off the top of your head, you are 'ok'.

that explains so much it's not funny... Jake go to the Dr. quick, before a goat starts looking at you seductively and you end up like Miles! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

The best two reasons I have read to go see the Dr. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

M that explains so much it's not funny... Jake go to the Dr. quick, before a goat starts looking at you seductively and you end up like Miles! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As stated before you could have damage that isn't showing up right now. The electrical charge could have torn your mussels in your heart or in your head causing a slow bleed. Vision blurry? Head ache? Aches and pains? Get yourself to the hospital. Famous last words are "it will get better" or " I'll go if it feels worse" Last two guys I met that said those to their familys didn't wake up the next day. If there is nothing wrong (when the Dr. says so) you can tell us "I told you I was ok" |
