Another wodge of big thunderstorms is on its way into the Dee Cee area this afternoon, prompting the NOAA folks to issue my favorite scary weather warning again:
Remember that lightning is a thunderstorms most underrated killer. Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are imminent. ThisYeek! This reminder prompts me think that a pretty good action-adventure could be made out the whole killer-lightning scenario. Call it Flash, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Helen Hunt:
is the best way to avoid being caught in a dangerous situation.
Automobiles offer good protection from lightning... although moving
indoors is best. Even inside... lighting can kill by coming through
the phone lines... plumbing and electric lines. Therefore do not
use computers... telephones or other hand held appliances during a
storm.
Jackson: Whoa! There are too many mutha-effin volts in that bolt!
Hunt: Yes, but at least there are no cows this time.

Heh! But, having gone through a rather violent thunderstorm just two nights ago, I would rather be viewing it from the inside of my home than out in some field cooking hot dogs.
I'm not sure why most people don't get this.
