I just now heard a story on the news (11:18 pm PST, Sat. June 3rd) that a man from Delaware County PA was on his tractor mowing and was killed when lightning struck a tree right next to him.

Is everybody here okay? I know we have a few from PA but I'm not sure what counties you all are from. Except for Jim Becker; He's from Bucks County I think, Right?

I hope everyone is alright.

We had some wicked storms roll thru with heavy rain (almost 1/2" in 20 minutes) and lots of low rolling thunder and lightning. Not sure I'd be out cutting the grass in it......

Rain? We had hail yesterday, just after lunchtime, coming through SW Ontario. About 15 minutes of large pea sized hail rattling the roofs. But only a handful of really good lightning cracks.

I saw that story on MSNBC.com. Not a fun thing to happen to you. There were a few fires in the general Delaware Valley area caused by lightning, too.
