Lightning Storm
#1
Just heard the loudest lightning/thunder clap ever. My wife, Laura, and I were playing Rumikub on the lanai ... our usual lunchtime fun. We've had a lightning storm around us for about 15 hours but that big one was just too close. Scared the bejeezus out of us. I guess it hit 300-500 feet away. Our neighbor called, thinking it might have hit our house.
As I was laying in bed last night listening to the thunder and seeing the flashes I got to thinking about the safety of being in a waterbed on the upper floor. What do you all think? Its heated and the heater has a grounded plug.
Feeling a little sorry for the tourists visiting Kauai the past few weeks. Its been so rainy. Today we have flash flood warnings, the roads are flooded, a couple of houses slid off their foundations up in Haena and there have been several landslides up there as well. The Wailua River below our house is raging and the ocean is brown around the river outfalls. Not the best vacation weather!
