I am 54. My grandma (94) tells a story about lightening and my mother
(73) verifies it.
In the olden days (when men were men and sheep ran scared), grandpa ran
a phone line thru the brush for a few miles to get to the homestead on
the ranch. It was only a few feet off the ground, say ten maybe. A
thunderstorm came along and grandma was carrying a pan of water across
their kitchen when a ball of lightening popped out of the phone and
floated across the room. They both report that is floated around for a
moment and seemed to "see" the water and went straight to the pan.
Knocked grandma on her kiester and scared the heck out of everyone
else. After that when a storm came they disconnected the phone at the
pole. I guess sometimes it is best to let someplace else be the best
ground.
