I like Weeds....I think it is going into season 5. I am only up to season 3, so I need to watch 4.
Tips, were you grounded while you were in that metal barn? That sounds really dangerous, be careful.

yes the building is grouned...but I still don't like being in there during an electrical storm. this one came out of nowhere...I was messing with my old truck and the big door blew shut...and then it hit hard...there are translucent panels on top for light and I thought they were going to bust.

LOL Twisty!! You can follow me...ANYWHERE.
Electrical storms scare me....Ever since I moved to Florida, I have a new respect for them. We get hella lightning here and it hits close....I could not imagine being in a metal barn, even a grounded one, during a storm....I am glad you are ok...I like my Tips.

Did you see the pics of Chinas rainstorm that blackened sky... see if I can find it..
Lightning killed 7....
At midday in Beijing today the sky turned black as midnight, as one of the most spectacular storms in recent memory struck the Chinese capital.
Thunder clouds blocked the sun from 11am, forcing the authorities to turn on streetlamps, offices to blaze with fluorescent lights and cars to drive with their headlights on.
During the darkest period, around 11.20am, office cooler, classroom, Twitter and Facebook gossip turned apocalyptic with many half-jokingly prophesying the end of the world and new weather weapons, while others wondered publicly about a secret solar eclipse or the death of the sun.
For a small handful, the portents of doom came true. Local media reported seven people were fatally struck by lightning as the storms swept across north-east China. Weather forecasters said it was extremely rare for such ferocious weather to hit the country at this time of year.
The storm passed within an hour with little apparent damage. But for a small handful, the portents of doom came true. Local media reported seven people were fatally struck by lightning as the storms swept across north-east China.
Speculation inevitably centred on the government's weather modification programme, which has been ramped up in recent years to offset droughts by seeding clouds. But Guardian efforts to contact the meteorological bureau have as yet been unanswered.

Lightning is some scary shit. I hate how close it comes to the house. So close you feel the hair on your neck stand up...Hate it, but, it has excellent nitrogen for our plants.

I was hit by lightning two years ago. I was closing one of my many gates, getting my Goldie in from the fields, when WHAM...knocked me flat and made me curl up through reflex. My legs cramped for two days after. My wife saw me in the distance and thought I ducked. heck no....other way around.
