Q: Why doesn't lightning strike the same place twice?

A: Because the same place isn't there anymore.

Uh, that was supposed to be a joke...a little humor. (I know , very
little) grin. I'm pretty sure most people realize that the Empire
State Building has been hit by lightning and yet is still there.


I live in one of the worst places in the world for lightning. I have
had battery powered equipment explode, and a SVGA monitor killed during
a storm. It was not only off, the cables were wrapped around the base
because I was rearranging my computer desk when it started. The building
had no windows, yet some of the strikes were so close that the flashes
lit it up like the noonday sun. I also felt the static charge when
several of them hit the marsh behind the radio shack. The thunder was
knocking equipment off the shelves, as well. The news reported over
15,000 strikes during that storm, and I was at the center of it.


But, as they say, if ya gotta explain it...


Then it wasn't funny, or its so old that the Social Security office
has lost its paperwork.


In the meanwhile, try to lighten up a bit--it's better for your health.


You might think lightning is funny, but around here you hear news
stories of people being hit because they didn't take it seriously.
People run and hide under trees, play golf in the rain, and do other
stupid things, and die from it.

If you want to join them, its your choice, but down make others think
that lightning isn't serious business. T have seen chucks of concrete
blown out of buildings from direct strikes.

One time when I was in Florida, I was gassing up my raggity old van at a
gas station.There was a golf course right across the highway.An elderly
guy in his golf cart drove across the highway to buy a cold soda
pop.There was a golf club in his golf bag that had an electric lamp cord
taped to the handle of that golf club.He said it is his electric golf
club.
