    Surfed next to a waterspout...no lightning with it. Hit the shore and totally dissipated. Pretty cool to see up close.

    How you explained it was exactly how I felt out there. It was such a rush. Scary and stupid but super exciting. I'll never do it again but twas a cool experience.

    ****balls...I'll never even think about it again, that's nuts. I've done it a few times when I was in my teens, really dumb but damn it was beautiful. Dolphins all around and greyed out stormy summer day, pretty cool but too old and not so reckless these days

    horror stories and tragedies are all over the lightening landscape.I'll call 911 for you(s) from the Pavilion .A few stories.Lee Trevino the "Merry Mex",a pro golfer, claims he has been hit by lightening twice.He now carries a driving iron (something akin to a "heavy duty" putter ) over his head when he hears thunder on the golfcourse...why..cause even God can't hit a 1 iron. Bwah..ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
