DC>Wow!  OK, I guess I can see that.  Be careful out there!

  Plus, as hot as lightning is, it can set structures on fire, and burn
them to the ground (it did that to a big church in North Little Rock a
few years ago). And, I saw where it struck a wooden power pole near
Chicago...the pole was blasted into splinters!!
