    About this ebook

    We heard the distant thunder before we were even aware of the approaching storm. Seeing the big, black clouds rolling toward us, and seeing the slanted shafts of gray beneath them, still miles away, we hurried to get home before we got drenched. I thought I was safe. I had no idea that I was about to get a first hand lesson about the power of lightning.

      Karl and I were up at Crazy Eddies doing jumps off of Eat Your Lunch when we first saw the storm coming in. The day had been hot, in the nineties, and very few, if any, clouds were overhead.
