[TVARC] lightning

[Paul Nittel]

Looks like the lightning didn't much care for the lightning rods on the 
house across the street, either. As we all know, lightning rods do _not_ 
attract lightning--and this kinda proves it.

That was a really bright flash and loud bang when it hit! Glad no one 
was injured.

Cheers & 73,
Paul
