That would sting a little if it hit you

that pic is amazing

oh man...that is so cool looking!

Excellent pic bro....I thought this thread was about me..hahaha :thumbsup

Thanks for the new desktop!!

nice pic sissy

Is it photoshoped? I can't tell, but that one arch looks pretty massive, could just be overexposed from how incredibly bright the strike would be.

Haha,, Thats fuuny

Exactly what I was thinking :)

Its a real pic. The guy who took it took like 200 pics,,, and got lucky on this one. Check the large version.

WOW :thumbsup

Very cool indeed then!

Wow, this pic is amazing !! Nice !

That thing is 3 times the size of that palm tree.

Too bad they thought the aluminum siding upgrade to their doublewide was a good idea! Hahahaha

that is an awesome picture :thumbsup

Doesn't lightning hit the object which is highest off the groud....ie the trees right niext to it? Looks fake to me *shrug*

pretty dang cool, I have a few equaly nice lighting pics, but god knows where they ended up

There's a reason you're told not to hide in a grove of trees or under a tree: Lightning can and will strike anything anywhere, tallest or not. Research shows, however, that lightning will primarily strike a single object in the middle of other objects.

Example: Heard about the kid who gets strck by lightning as he's on the football field? The stands, buildings, etc. that RING the field are lots taller, but since the field itself is an open space in the middle of that ring, whatever's standing inside it will be what's struck.

Hence: Don't stand in a grove of trees. There's always an open space in that grove, and if you're in it, you're what's going to be hit.

The picutre isn't fake, btw. The fellow who took it was in Florida, (I think, can't remember), and got lucky enough to catch this beautiful shot.

damn nice picture. bet the photog shit himself.

my new background

Photoshop ?
