For What Its Worth with Steve and Dawn » Weird Weather

A very lucky lady!

Lightening can hurt you! The good thing is that even though she got struck she was not hurt.

Because you insisted, hereâ€™s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, just a really good zap!

Choking in the smoke!

We have been swamped with forest fires early this summer due to lightening storms, not good. This is what we see and breathe when going outside the house every day:

This is what the sun looks like through the smoke:

Our listener Malcolm sent this to us, I must say it is beautiful. Thank you Malcolm!

Here is a link to some photos I took of lightening!

I mentioned in our last podcast that I had taken some photos of the lightening storm we had here at home this month. Here is the link to the photos I took with my digital camera.

Enjoy!

Snow in June

Woke up yesterday morning only to see fresh snow on the mountains around us. WOW!

This is how fast the weather can change in the High Sierras

Two hours before I took this photo, it was sunny with some clouds and kind of warm. The moral of this story is to be prepared while traveling in the High Sierras or any wilderness, because these storms can hit very fast and hard. This one today did, it went from nice to freezing within an hour.
