A typical lightning flash is about 300 million volts. Though in India 2014 they claimed to have recorded the biggest thunderstorm ever with 1.3 billion volts. Man-made voltage barely reached 3 million volts. Lightening survivors are often plagued with debilitating side effects: Burns, pain, headaches, fatigue, memory loss and insomnia. Other survivors report strange side-effects: Psychic abilities. A famous case was "Greta Alexander" in Illinois 1960, following her lightning incident she began to notice that things were different. She could see images and hear sounds that were not physically present. She began working with police across the country on missing persons cases. She was able to lead authorities to a number of bodies including a three year old who had fallen into an abandoned well, a young woman who was killed by her boyfriend and an elderly couple that had drawn.
A nurse from Nashville, after struck by lightning in May 1985, discovered that watches would no longer work, losing 10-20 minutes and becoming unreliable. At first, she thought that she was buying watches that were too inexpensive. It took her a couple of years to realize it wasn't the watches, but was "Her" that was the problem.
