Default Is St. Elmos Fire

Dangerious? or a blessing?


I've read the theory that the electrical discharge reduces
the chance of being struck by lightning.... don't know if
that's true.

Have you ever seen your mast and spreaders glowing with a bright green
luminious plasma?


Green plasma? No
I have seen yellowish and blueish glow originating from the
top of the mast a couple of times, can't remember seeing it
from spreaders.

It's a spooky looking effect.

We had a fast front move thru last week and the corposant was standing
on my upper spreaders.


Did it make you get religion?
