I saw this story and it reminded me to mention my latest. Last week we had a thunderstorm go over our area that had some moisture in it and lots of lightning. The other day while checking the water in the far pasture, I only check it about once a week, I found a dead cow laying in the middle of the road on a big open flat. The only thing I can figure is that she was struck by lightning. It looks like she just fell dead there, no struggle or anything.
This kind of thing happens occasionally and there is nothing a person can do about it. How many cattle I have lost that way I couldn't tell you but quite a few. The one I really remember is the time a horse got killed by a lightning strike on the place. I don't have a lot of horses as compared to cows so that one really sticks in my mind. It does remind a person about the dangers of lightning though.
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work. Mark Twain
