RON PARRISH I was fishing in Canada on my yearly trip, we we just left camp to go fishing that evening and seen the storm in the foreground, I said eh it will stay over there. Started fishing and an hour later we were like two lightning rods in the water right in the middle of the storm holding on to our graphite poles. I was a bit nervous but boy the fishing bite was rockin. It was kinda funny, it would down pour the fish were nonstop, rain would let up the bite slowed down. Started down pouring again and the bite increased. Was quite fun, and glad it wasn’t time to meet the maker.

twilliams Storms never used to bother me . In fact I used to like watching them. But getting hit hurt! My arms and shoulders hurt for 2 days.I was leaning against my steel shop when it hit the house so I just got what came though the ground.Still knocked me about 6 ft

House got hit about 2:00 AM in 2008. By luck I saw a hint of smoke through a plumbing plumbing pipe hole.
Immediately Called the fire dept. and cleared the house still had $150,000 worth of damage
Fire had started in the basement through the electrical wiring -
Lake place has been struck twice, once we weren’t there and luckily the neighbors saw it and called fire department, other time we were there and just had to fix a little wiring and outlets.

I know this is not meat related but wanted to share a cool photo with everyone interested. We had a small storm blow through the other night and the thunder from this bolt of lightning shook our cement plant buildings worse than anything I’ve felt in my 15 years here. If you look at the bottom left corner you’ll see our plant. It’s 6 stories high.
cdavis that is a fantastic photo!

RON PARRISH I was 8 years old and the big walnut at the immediate rear corner of the house got nailed. Threw bark 100’ out to the road and tree was on fire. Loudest boom I’ve ever heard. Dropped me to my knees instantly. Super impressive on the power it creates
-
cdavis WOW. The person taking that shot was close. That was definitely showing the power of nature. Yikes

Incredible! Hats off to the man who captured this. This wins photo of the year, if not all time!
Hope he gets some recognition. -
have any of you ever seen lightning going sideways in the sky ?

Many times. Love T Storms. Just the power is amazing.
-
craigrice yep, mostly chain lightning
-
cdavis that has to be one of the most spectacular looking lightening photos I’ve ever seen. Us humans like to think we are in control. We definitely can’t control mother nature. Thanks for posting.
GWG8541 isn’t that the truth.

Hope he gets some recognition.PapaSop I too hope he gets some recognition. But I don’t even hear any of the local people talking about it. I show it to about everyone I meet. Most just act like it’s no big deal. That’s why I started not to post it on here. I thought it was amazing. I’m glad some of enjoyed it or I would have felt stupid.

craigrice yes I’ve seen side ways lighting several times. Always amazed by it.
