My arm was wet, I was standing in wet and it was electric. It literally took me to my knees and I am shaking now.
I hate Florida
that surge could possibly mean that power has been disrupted somewhere in the grid nearby. what happens is that if service for a large scale area with alot of draw is stopped, the excess power causes a surge. its the opposite of a brown out.
