Something happened to our cottage's grounding rod, and household electricity surged through our lakewater intake.

Wading nearby, you could feel "something's wrong" about five feet from the pipe. Swimming, our dog yelped at five feet and turned away. Moving progressively closer, one could expect to be progressively paralyzed.
