Was in my tent two nights ago at Outerbridge Shelter when a T-storm started to roll in around 3:30. Not too concerned...tent holding up to the rain and counting the time between flashes and thunder figured I was fine. Not so.
All of a sudden there was a big flash followed directly by a huge crash and thunder clap. This strike was VERY close! Talking about it to the guys in the shelter, one said they saw the lightning strike the tree and start on fire while others said they just saw a orange glow.
We've been in lots of T-storms but this was the closest I've been to having Carolyn collect on my insurance policy!
Sounds crazy!
