I live in Brasil and was on the phone with my father, who lives in Texas, during a thunderstorm. I told him that we were having a thunderstorm and that the phone might cut off (it does that sometimes here). He lives on a ranch and said THEY were in the middle of a thunderstorm too.

About 5min into the conversation, a huge clap of lightning in Brasil disrupted our conversation. I called him right back and said "sorry, lightning cut us off" at the exact same time HE was saying "man, a huge lightning bolt knocked out the phone here...sorry" We both repeated ourselves and couldn't belive that in BOTH locations lighting had struck and knocked our phones out at the exact same time!

We joked about going and buying lotto tickets.
