Lightning strike.
Lucky I have only two then.
It was instinctive, no thought involved I can tell you, no time for that. I
imagine it was because it was raining torrentially at the time.
This was some years back. Two close calls are enough for one life I feel,
but one day I guess you run out of luck.
I do live on the top of a hill.

You got lucky.
Lightning kills cows because when they _aren't_ hit there can be
significant voltage between the front and back legs.
