How does lightning strike a buried telephone line? Did it hit the house first and then transfer to the phone line?

I know what you mean by the loudest thing ever. I was outside on my porch when lightning struck my neighbors tree. Scared me to death. I could even feel the electricity in the air.

I do love it... who am I kidding. And if it takes a little bit of electrocution every now and then, well then so be it!

Heavy humidity from the on-coming storm could have charged metal.

Florida's initials make up for two of the three letters in FTL. Just think about that.
