This comes from someone that lived in FLA all his life!!!!!!
(of course when i was on a different t-ball field with youngest DS)
my middle DS took a jolt in good old western pa during little league game, thunder rumbled & coach took them to picnic shelter wherein my guy was holding onto chain link fence when it was struck...knocked him out of his spikes(of course when i was on a different t-ball field with youngest DS)
short hospital stay, all better except for the pesky brain wave alteration![]()
lightening is nothing to mess with - anywhere!
ps i insisted the league get the lightening detectors on every field
The field is now named after him. When I was young & living up in NY I was leaning on a fence when lightning hit the fence and threw me off of it. Luckily I was fine.. but that tought me never to mess with it. Two years ago, my friend was cooking and pulled her food out of the oven, just as she touched the oven rack, lightning came down thru the oven some how and jolted her. She did end up in the hospital for a few days. That is something I never thought of. I know to stay off the phone, computer & video games, out of the water (even in the house), & to stay away from the windows.... but never thought of touching the oven racks.. but they are metal...OMG!! It's hotter in PA than there MW![]()
