Um, is it safe?
It was a fairly nice day here in Austin, but the last hour has been a little rough.

:scared:

5. Yeah, the wind and hail might have had bit to do with it as well.
But I'm sure the lightning was the first sign to get the hell out of there. Lightning + metal seats = bzzzzzzttt!!!

8. Just a bit!
I went to an outdoor concert and James Taylor was performing. It was pouring. At one point, he said they were taking a break (he was under cover) because the puddles on the stage were causing some arcing (sp?)

:scared:

Never mind that we're all sitting on metal bleachers. :(

10. I almost died at a Police show.
A storm (a lot like this one) blew through really quickly. At one point Sting asked if we'd catch him if he blew off the stage. After the brief storm, they finished their set.

14. Me too.
All in all I'm rather against my early demise. ;)





Heck, I'm not all that thrilled about a late demise either. :D

36. Do you see any signs of a giant boat and a bunch of animals?
Four dudes on horseback and a cloud of locusts?

No? Okay, y'all are safe.
