Did you record that?

I don't like lightening. Mrs.E. thinks it's cool, but having worked
around high voltage for many years and being seriously zapped a couple
of times, I head for the innermost part of the house when it's around.


Smart man. I used to sit out on my porch and watch the storms come
rolling in, until a bolt hit a tree about 20' away. Now, I head inside.
Something about where I live, my property averages about 1 lightning
strike a year, but at least I've never been hit, unlike this poor guy.

A guy got zapped by lightening last week in Scituate. He was kayaking
or something. He survived, but received some bad burns in his head and
hands.
