   DC>Wow!  OK, I guess I can see that.  Be careful out there!   
      
     Plus, as hot as lightning is, it can set structures on fire, and burn   
   them to the ground (it did that to a big church in North Little Rock a   
   few years ago). And, I saw where it struck a wooden power pole near   
   Chicago...the pole was blasted into splinters!!
