I'm covered ... lol! but... you never can tell what will happen with lightening .... i just hope to see one more thing of it, ball lightening ... Well, i seen enough of lighting an damage from storm's. now if it's in the distance, ball lightning, thats OK. 😀, just not close. been through alot close up, i had my fill. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted August 8, 2020 if you've ever been struck... THEN you get a totally .. new respect for it .... ball lightening is very rare... mostly associated ... with horizontal lightening ... pre a very severe storm...here in the south during a hot dry season.... best Description is, it looks like a ball of fire...,but vertical lightening isn't as bad as horizontal lightening ... my father saw a direct tree strike.... told me ..... the tree basically exploded at the stump .... which look like tooth pics afterwards...

LedFTed 1,127 Posted August 9, 2020 the only horizontal lightning i seen was up in the sky. i got touched by 220, it dont fill good, but, when its winter, and a humidifier aint run here, i have had spark arks a 1/2 inch long, or so. blue in color, i hate that worse that 110/220,. i cant imagine what it fills like to be struck by cloud static. and dont want to know.

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted August 12, 2020 I'm seriously considering moving to the north pole lol! i recall back in the day my grandfather (God rest his soul) had commented about picking up, and moving to Minnesota, or North Dakota.... after taking a vacation up that way.. during the winter he was quick to change his mind ... i messed with him for years over that one, it... man, would he get angry.. lol! he had lived up Minnesota a short time as a kid, but as he got older... nope that kind of cold didnt set too well with him. anyways ... hot, and sticky mid day ... and a small thunderstorm just roled over .... the temp dropped from 91 to 70 F it's about time for a break.
