Someone else told me the same damn thing. I know what happened to me. My mom was there too...
Because they're telling the truth. Besides, the laptop would've been destroyed. Only once have I seen a laptop survive lightning and it wasn't a direct strike. It fried the built in modem. It remained working for a little while, then finally died.
Lightning + laptop + human = no.
I'm sorry. I don't see it being a lightning strike. A surge perhaps, or something failed in the adapter brick, I dunno, I'm not an electrician or an engineer, but I know you'd be hurt. Plus the laptop would be fried.
The only thing I can think of is static discharge. Lightning is a static discharge and if you're too close to it, you can feel the static field. This is why the hairs will stand up on someone's neck just before they're about to be hit. You might've just had a static shock and nothing else.
I dunno. All I know is, you'd be injured and lappy be dead. Neither happened, so count your blessings.
