Tornado Warning
-
Raining cats and dogs here.
I was out at the dog pen feeding my wife's toothless biscuit eater, when we had a lightning strike in the pine thicket next to the pen. I was looking that way, so it was bright, but not blinding (I've been within 50 feet, that's impressive...You can't see for a half-minute or so and my ears rang for hours). Since I didn't quite get out one-mississippi, I'm thinking about a thousand feet away.
It did get my attention.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

I intentionally didn't go outside during the worst of it, even though I wanted to. Somehow it smelled like lightning.

I had that experience, and it was also in Louisiana. Right after I got out of the car in Morgan City lightning touched down in the front yard. It makes a lasting impression.

Driving home from work, stopped at a red light. Lightning strike on the telephone pole kitty-corner from me.
Shortly after we moved into the condo, lighting struck the building across the street. Started a small-ish house fire.
Yeah, impressive.
