My guess for the ring is that it was excess charge from the bolt dissipating. My guess is that it wouldn't have hurt you much, probably would have just made your hair stand on end, as the charge would cause your hairs to repel each other, which is probably what was making the grass stand up. All the same, probably good you jumped over it, just in case.

That’s the thing, my timing comprises of curious but separate set of phenomenon: - I felt the gradual rise of my hair-ends before the lumination period of lighting strike. This is most commonly documented. - the unexplained violent rise of my hair ends at the nape of my neck rose shortly after the lumination period like within 300 meter/sec (speed of sound? or radiating electrical transference through humid air? ground-based? or pyschological? speed of nerve cells?). There are many excerpts to this account but its not common and little in the way of white papers on this. - the rushing oncoming grass undulation is like 14 meter/second. obviously the “grasses” takes longest to transfer these electric charges. Barely any excerpts to this aspect (I seen more excerpts and photos of people being literally charred by lightning while sitting on toilet than this part). EDIT: I have since learned that “water/air-based electron drift velocity” or “multi-phase Fermi velocity” may best describes this. arguably the moisture of each grass stalk doing electric charge transfer en masse between dew droplets or maybe even its own internal grass stalk moisture? Liken it to a group transference of electric charges going from many cycles of water to air to water to air? This remains a fascinating topic but in 1978 we did not have the words to this phenomenon until now. https://www.wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mobile/2014/02/19/what-is-the-speed-of-electricity/ https://www.wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mobile/2014/02/19/what-is-t...
