Can anyone do this?
About 7 years ago everytime a bolt of lightning would flash I could smell it. It smelt like a burning, electrical type smell. I ALWAYS asked my parents if anyone could smell it and they looked at me like... :?
Is this something natural? Maybe in certain storms lightning can be smelled.
Sorry if this is a really weird topic! I just all of a sudden smelt a burning smell and it led me to remember me being able to do that... I bet there is a perfectly good explanation for it.
Thanks all.

Hi,
Ozone, O3, tri-atomic oxygen, is this the smell?

Yes, Szaxx explained it.
BTW, it it also not abnormal to smell when others have been outside (and you're inside), and whether someone has a cold coming on (the breath has a very distinctive and gross smell to it). Our schnozzes are very sensitive, even of stuff we're not aware of.
Cool!

Lol :-D
I want to smell lightning now! I know this isn't the same, but I went through a stage of knowing it was a cloudy day before looking outside, because I would wake up with a pressure head ache, I've mentioned it to others who just think I'm weird lol
