Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] That Time of Year.....again! - Truman Prevatt
You need to come over to the sand hills. I've got 100 feet elevation
difference on my place. I can look out of my kitchen window and sett
the top of my barn roof.

here. Anyway, that thing, which sits right outside my computer room
gets hit all the time by lightning. I can see it "radiate" from the
window when this happens. Talk about one heart stopping experience.
It's funny listening to Truman talk about low spots since, in Florida,
everyplace is in a low spot. There's nothing higher except for trees
and manmade contraptions. My CB antenna is my lightning rod and it
gets hit more often than Truman's old barn.
Down here lightning can hit you anywhere, even inside your house. We
can't really build basements here, which kind of sucks, because, if we
could, I'd have one for sure. When it comes to the rath of these
storms there's no place that gets hit more often than Central Florida.
And, the sad thing is, there's no basement to hide out in. We're all
fair game, including the horses. Since my barn's never been hit,
that's where they stay when these life taking storms are a brewing.
