Lightning strikes

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Lately there have been a few thunder storms here.  I mean, we don’t get thunder storms like they do in the tropics, but we sometimes get the odd bit.  Last week for example it dropped a ton of rain in hardly any time at all, with the traditional sound and vision alongside.  Today there was more thunder (though no rain, oddly).  

I was still shocked though to see this story.  16 Cows died at once in a lightning strike, carried across their field by the puddle they were stood in.  Poor cows.  Not told of the dangers of sheltering under a tree in a storm, it would seem.

Not that it’s any safer in the traditional human domicide, it would seem.
