My family and I came close to being struck while camping, many years ago. We pulled into one camping spot, but my dad had a funny feeling about it, so he parked across the road instead. My mom, sister, brother and I went for a walk, but it started to rain and thunder, so we returned to the camper. Less than five minutes later, with a blinding white flash and ear-splitting noise, lightning struck a tree right across the road, in the spot we were originally going to park. Our ears rang for hours, and we were all pretty shaken. Even after that, I still get a thrill during a thunderstorm. I guess I'm just a little nutty for weather. In a storm like we had the other night I like to turn off the lights in the house and open the blinds to watch. Ooh, I’m glad he made it through the storm unscathed, Reenie.

He had bartered a 10’ metal, Iowa-made windmill for our backyard. I waved my arms furiously, looking much like a windmill myself as he strode across the yard, balancing the structure on his shoulders. He was so excited about his acquisition, he had no awareness that he was a potential lightening rod with the storm gathering and thunder announcing the imminent appearance of lightening. Arghhhh.
