sos i wake up late as i usually do on saturday and have to scramble to get to work. its like 83 degrees outside when i leave and a beautiful day. im thinking there is gonna be some wonderful scenery at the cemetery today so the day is lookin pretty OK. i get to work and the skies immediately start darkening. wonderful. literally ten minutes after i start working, the clouds open up and it starts POURING. biblical type rain, with hail and everything. needless to say, it makes me a little more alert to whats going on, cause its dangerous out now. as im driving by the groundskeepers garages, i see this HUGE pop of blue fire on one of the powerlines as i watch lightning strike it. blew two of the lines right off the pole. it was very intense. so i track down one of the groundskeepers to let him know about it so they can contact the electric company (i dont deal with people, i pawn that shit off). no sooner does he make his way up to the administrative building to start making phone calls than i see a massive explosion of light as the pole two down from the one that initially got hit was also struck by lightning. knocked a bunch of shit off the pole, knocked things crooked, made a huge mess. thats right, i saw not one, but two different electrical lines struck by lightning within a half an hour. crazy stuff.
as an interesting aside, twenty minutes later it was sunny and nice out again.
