Had a storm blowing in. Stepped out side to see if it was raining yet. Foot hit the ground with a bolt of lightening and a clap of thunder. God's way of telling me to go to my room, and change pants.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I always like watchin' lighting but my wife thinks I'm crazy and need more life insurance!!!
I've only had it hit close (really close ) once.  When your hair stands up before it hits, it's close!!!  But still a miss!!!  ROFL

An old feller told me when I was a young gun, that if you ever feel the hairs on your neck and arms begin to do the wave, UN-ASS THE A.O. (run for cover quick.)

Mark, Thanks for schrinking those pics for me.  I realize now that I forgot to turn the setting down on my camera.
 
I actually caught the storm on the tail end.  I wish I had been out earlier to get some pics, but I was busy at the time.  For the most part it was all cloud to cloud, not much hitting the ground.  I love a good thunder storm.  Hate getting caught in the mountains when one comes through.

Yeah, or get out of the water and put down the fly rod. I've seen many a lightning storm during the day fishing streams in Montana.
