Probably Gonna Need A New Boat

This is a real photo of the exact moment the lightning strikes the water. Absolutely one in a million photos.

Wow, just wow. Living in an area where we have frequent lightning strikes, and we're right across the street from the river, this really hits home!

Second time it has been struck, first time knocked off a VHF antenna on the top.
This time just shut off power for about an hour and a half. Quick service from the electric coop.

Was very loud.
