Yes indeed!

Terrible storms here Sunday, hours on end. Even entered my dreaming! grrrr (which I was trying to do to hide from them)

I've been in 2 houses hit by lightening. NOT fun.
My brother's house was knocked 6" off foundation by a lightening strike to the jacaranda tree who's roots ran under the house. NOT good.

And yet? I drive a soft top

We had a guy down here killed by a lightening strike recently, and there wasn't a cloud or storm anywhere around. He was a missionary for some belief. Gotta wonder about that one.
