Mar 2, 2009: Lightning Close
 

I confess I love lightning pictures, and we did one here.

But Daza123, at ePHOTOzine, captured this shot showing tendrils going all over the neighborhood, and I couldn't resist.

Daza123 says;Yeah, I'll bet it startled him pretty good. :tinfoil:

excellent. Is the fence still there?

I would need a really good camera and an extra pair of shorts to take that picture.

I'm not afraid of many things. But lightning is one of them. Unimaginable power.

I wonder what lightning tastes like? Probably crunchy and bitter.

omfg....Im sure I would have turned and ran right through the sliding glass door, soiled pants and all....I mean I spilled my drink on myself watching Quarantine...wussy

That looks suspiciously like the UK -which makes it even more awesome -they don't get so many thunderstorms there (as we do here in the US -or at least my part of it), especially not the forked-lightening kind, so much less chance of getting this shot.

From the other Daza123 pictures on the site, I think he is in the UK.

I have a friend who's actually been struck by lightening twice. Couple years later, a big truck drove into his house, demolishing most of it (but not him). About three months ago, he took a trip into town, only to discover his cat in the engine (it lived, barely). A few weeks ago, he nearly cut his thumb off with a *cough* SKILL saw.

Yeah. God hates Gus. :neutral:

New words for me: astrophobia and brontophobia.
There are others here - LINK

I love storms, but strikes that close would have me inside the house. Yikes!

Glinda-- Sounds to me like God REALLY LIKES Gus a lot.

Probably like cooked blood and shattered teeth.:shocking: = :skull:

Once I was almost struck....I got an acidic taste in my mouth like sucking on a battery.

Hopefully like peanut butter...

:)

Reckon we could fry it?
