Got a little rain today running down 88 but it was the wind that was really getting me on 178. I pulled off for a minute and let the traffic pass so I could go slower.

The storm that hit on the 14th made it's presence known. We got hit by an indirect lightning strike which fried one of the electric lines into the apartment. Just got it fixed. Wires were burnt and an outlet was missing some parts as it got fried by the strike. Thankfully that was the limit of the damage, if it got past that, we would've had a fire. Seems that being this high up, strikes are not uncommon, especially since the mountains are mostly iron.
Think that's bad ? You should see what happened around here one time. A massive bolt of lightning struck nearby. It blow a 6 foot crater into the street. The power surge came down the wires and into the outlet and into the TV set. The TV set literally exploded. Tiny fragments of it were everywhere. When I looked outside every telephone pole on the block was on fire. Took about 2 weeks to get everything fixed.Quote:
