Damaged

During a recent bad lightning storm, one of the buildings in a nearby apartment complex was hit and caught fire. Thankfully, no one was injured. I happened to be near there today, and snapped this photo with my "purse" camera.

  1. Ouch. I always wonder about the disruption to these people's lives. Glad no one was hurt.

  2. I remember a story of Lee Trevino, who had been hit twice by lightning, following a stoppage for lightning at a tournament, was outside having some practice swings when Hubert Green said "Lee are you crazy we haven't had the all clear!"
    Lee is supposed to have replied, "Don't worry, it's a One Iron and even God can't hit a One Iron"!
    Lightning is scary.

  3. Sad! I hope the unit is fixed soon and that the residents are back in their homes!

  4. Scary! Whenever we have bad storms, I calm myself down by reminding myself that this house has stood for over 100 years.

  6. Hope the damage is fixed soon and the residents can get back to their homes. Summer storms can be very destructive.

  9. Sad. I hope the disruption isn't too traumatic for the people and pets. Too bad we can't blame this one on fireworks.
