Wow!

I just had to share this!




                                                  Lightning strikes behind a windmill on a farm near Baldwin City, ...

It's a lightning strike in Kansas.

  2. Nah...I didn't take it - I found it on yahoo.

    I have never seen color in lightning but it makes sense that it's there.

  3. That's amazing! Thanks for sharing it. I enjoy lightening. People sometimes get hit by it in the Portland area. There was one a few weeks ago and another last year. But not here, at least not yet.

  5. Worse yet... they were both children playing sports who were hit! Both survived and are not expected to be damaged permanently. Some burn issues... on the ear and side of the most recent one's face and body. Crazy isn't it?

  9. dmarks - obviously a quote from something (undoubtedly printed - - my quotes lean toward the celluloid) - and quite true. I know - maybe from In Dubious Battle? Thanks for reading and remarking and for everything else, too! You dbest.
