dont know how to do links but if you have 10 seconds look up Wautoma Wi lightning strike. Pretty neat.
G1: Funny you should post that. Here in Harrisburg, PA, last night, we had a thunder/lightning storm more severe than we ever get in the heat of July and August. It was really weird for this time of year. Bob

I was sitting at my desk at work one day and we all heard what we thought was an explosion. We looked out the window and one of the trees on the office property got struck by lightning, then the lightning traveled underground and blew out a portion of the concrete curb lining the driveway. That's the best we could figure anyway. The tree was split and the lawn was torn up from the tree to the curb. That was crazy!
