Tucson has dope lightning storms...

...that I can never catch, so here is a stolen photo from Christina who was passing through town during a big monsoon storm that hit downtown. Not quite as dramatic as the lightning storm I was caught in at 8500 feet on Mt. Lemmon, or when I was almost hit by lightning and had to sit in the lightning crouch until it stopped striking the ground nearby in the ghost town of Ruby, 4 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. I've never been that close to pissing my pants in fear, well, its been a while at least.



What's the lightning pose you ask? Well it looks like this, and is often combined with the saying "oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck"


And here are some soccer players getting a good dose of lightning splash...
