lightning never strikes the same place twice

i hope. i am led to wonder if lightning could ever strike the same person twice, if that person moved to a different location. the reason i question this is that i do not want to be struck again. yes, i said again.

yesterday was an interesting day.

the story is as follows: i went to work at 5am, as usual. unlike usual, it was pouring, slashing, pounding rain - probably some of the most severe rain i have encountered (and i've been through some monsoons). luckily, shaggy didn't need the car that day, so i was able to drive to work, instead of bicycling. so i get to work, and the truck i'm supposed to unload at 6am is, unaccountably, early. so i set most of the crew to working on various tasks, and "invite" one lucky helper to assist me in dragging pallets of merchandise through the rain and into the store for the other folks to break down and put away. we had brought in maybe three pallets, and i was on the truck with a *metal* pallet jack to pick up the fourth, and suddenly the world exploded, and there was a terrific noise, and then the guy who had been helping me began to freak out. see, he was outside the truck, and saw it get smacked by a bolt of lightning. the bolt sent sparks into the store (and over it - some other employees at the front entrance saw sparks on their end).
by some freak of chance, i had timed the pallet jack's lifting of pallets (which lifts all the metal parts of the jack off the truck floor) to just before the lightning hit, and i have cheap-ass rubber soled shoes. so i didn't die. didn't even hurt. just experienced - which i am in no hurry to do. ever. again.
so after a few minutes of being very afraid, and shouting, and carrying on, and such, we finished unloading the truck, and went to make sure the truck driver survived, which he had. his limited grasp of the english language made it difficult for me to find out if he was aware of what had happened.
("hey, that lightning was CRAZY!!" "oh, yes, yes, okay". "Are you alright?" "Okay, bye bye".)
