TW> That reminds me about when I sent to Little Rock Arkansas for a Seminar   
   TW> at a VA Mental Institution. We were housed in a small building outside   
   TW> the main building. There was a storm and got the *#$@ out of mewhnt   
   TW> Lighetining struck a tree 25 feet from my room window. That strike   
   TW> was LOUD AND BRIGHT!!!   
   TW> Needless to say the tree did not survive   
      
   When I was around 10 years old, I was looking outside my bedroom window during   
   a storm and lightning hit our garage right in front of me.  All I saw was   
   white light and an instant VERY loud boom.     
      
   The lightning had hit the corner of our garage and caught it on fire.  I had   
   to go out there and put it out with the hose.  I'll never forget that one!
