Re: [RC] Lightning - Chris PausI used to start an endurance or CTR ride even if lightnig was all around. I won't anymore after my own brush with it...
I've told you all before about my mare who was hit by lightning in our trailer as we were traveling down I-35, so I won't bore you with it again.
But this year, two people, one in Salt Lake City and one in Kansas City were hit by lightning in their vehicles. It came in through the windows! You are not safe on rubber tires!
And just a couple of weeks ago, a little girl in a town near here was hit by lightning in her bed! It hit the roof of the house, traveled down the nail line to her bed and caught her bed on fire! She yelled for her parents and they rescued her, so all was well, but geesh, how scary is that!
