Nice flying weather there Bruce! Seriously, I love the sound of thunder close by and cloud-to-ground lightning. I remember being out on my mountain bike when I was based in Del Rio, Texas back in 1995. I stopped to watch a similar thunderstorm system as it moved in toward town from the west. All of a sudden: CRACK!!! A half-second later: BOOOOOM!!!! A lightning bolt had hit the ground maybe 100 yards behind me and some of the electrical charge arced between my bike frame and my leg! YOW! It felt like someone had jammed a needle into the inside of my thigh. I pedaled my a$$ off and got back inside ASAP. Then all he!! broke loose as the storm moved in overhead. Still, I miss the big boomers like that!
