Lightning strikes! No Litterally!
June 12, 2008 · Print This Article
At exactly 12 noon CT today, whether our house didn’t get struck by lightning I would hate to hear/see it whether it ever does. It was the most violent and horrible sound I have ever heard in my life. The bolt of lightning was so bright (even in the middle of the day) and came down so fast and nearly instantly after the bolt came down, was the horrible crackling boom noise of the thunder. I even plugged my ears when it started crackling it was SO loud!
The lights flashed for a quick second and that was it. I didn’t even want to go and check the roof of the house and I haven’t either. I happened to be in my carport at the date and was probally the reason I was able to see the bolt so well.
That was some crazy stuff!
The reason I picked that picture was considering the quick look that I got at the bolt, looked precisely like that. Just one loner jagged line coming right down. (picture is from Noaa.gov) I had only seen about from the last major bend of the bolt and up. Where the end part hit, I do not know… In that amazing picture, clearly the end of that bolt hit that tree, but I’m certain the folks in the house heard the same noise I did.
Being a domainer, I checked out Lightning.com and go figure.. it’s a parking page! I always tell folks that I talk to.. when you want to see info or buy something, take the term you are interested in and add .com to it. In that case, I would of looked like an ass.
LightningStrike.com is plus a parking page. I agree both would be hard to invent money with, but a company could signal a product Lightning or Lightning Strike and could use the domains.
BTW, I did just go outside and all looks good on the roof!
