Out of the Blue

Of the thousands of lightning strikes here in the valley last night, one of them struck a poor woman going for a walk in Modesto. She's still alive and needs God's mercy as a lightning strike to the head has a way of changing your life forever.

Lightning storms were rare in Paso Robles in the 50's and 60's, I think. Mom would have us kids huddle in the hall until the worst was past. She grew up in Kansas. Thankfully, she didn't have us crawl under the house!

This is turning out to be the weather news year of the 21st century so far. Hold on to your emergency kit and keep that SUV filled with gas!

    Dave, What a beautiful picture! You certainly are right about the year of weather. Here we sit in San Antonio getting ready for another hurricane. My wife had three different relatives living in New Orleans. All had major property damage but no lost of life. Now, Hurricane Rita and she has a cousing living in El Campo Tx that has to evcauate. What a Year! The Paso site is wonderful but I a enjoy the Blogging also. Rich Cantrell San Antonio TX
