For What It’s Worth

You don’t need Al Gore to tell you that something weird is going on in the atmosphere.
I’ve seen some awesome lighning storms in my time, and have experienced a couple of scary moments, too. Many years ago, I was caught in a mid-summer downpour and lightning split a tree, only about 15 feet away from where I was walking. In Southern Colorado, I had he uneasy experience of riding horseback on a narrow, exposed ridge when, suddently, the sky went dark, the wind picked up and a thunder and lightning storm blew in. Fortunately, the horses did not panic.
But I have to say, I’ve never seen sustained lightning show like the kind we had last night. It came in continuous flashes, follwed by cannon-like thunder claps and didn’t let up for an hour. That was the strange part—the fact that the lightning didn’t let up.
The only thing missing was Frankenstein’s monster and a dwarf named Igor.
