definitely not fake.

I was about 20 feet away from a lightening strike the other day. I honestly thought it was a bomb, like, a real, live, HE bomb, the noise is intense, the crack is so sharp and so heavy, the only thing I could equate it to is HE.


I remember we had a poplar tree in our front field hit once in a heavy storm. It was a 75 foot or so tree, it was immediately exploded into a 10 foot stump, the scary thing was that it completely shattered the entire tree into splinters, if anyone would have been around it, it would have been 1000 machetes flying through the air.. they stuck in the ground like God was playing Mumbley Peg with trees...



I couldn't imagine living through getting hit by it.
