sandblasting and static electricity...

[marklaken]

attempted to do some blastin' last night (it was thundering outside) and the amount of electricity bouncing off the shut off valve and my roof was crazy...i was feeling it through my gloves and in the back of my teeth...didn't take long for me to say the hell with that...

here is all the things that were different than normal:
i had the unit on the cargo floor of the bus, it was lightening outside, there was high humidity (a rarity out here), and i was wearing a polar fleece to keep my body sand free?...

never experienced that with this setup before...do i need to ground the vehicle somehow?
