Lightening Hits Telephone Pole Less Than 100 Feet from House!

This is the telephone pole that was hit by lightening. It actually hit the transformer, which was replaced the next day. It's about 100 feet from our house and you may be thinking "Wow, 100 feet isn't that close."

Unless you've been within 100 feet of lightening striking you, you have no idea how scary it is.

This gives you an idea of how far our front door is from the fence, about 20 feet or so. I was sitting about three feet away from our front door, which was open, when the lightening struck.

This gives you an idea of how far the telephone pole is from our fence, about 70-80 feet.
