Lightning Strikes
Wow! What a show last night. We had hundreds of lightning strikes around us. I was up all night on fire watch ( I have 3,000 acres of wheat just ready to harvest). Got called out to fight a fire at the neighbors ranch about 8:30pm. He lost $500,000 worth of crop last night. Mine was safe, but they are calling for more "dry" thunderstorms tonight. We had a strike about 1/4 mile from the house that took out about 3 miles of powerpoles. Wildest thing I've ever seen. Some of the poles were snapped off about half way up the pole! I'll try and post some pics this afternoon.
