Kyle:  Stephanie, that lightning storm yesterday was crazy.

Steph:  That was really cool. All that thunder and stuff going on.

Kyle:  Yeah. But it actually knocked out the power in the whole block, or a couple block area.

Steph:  Are you serious?

Steph:  Nice. Nature’s wrath. I love that.

Kyle:  Yeah. Not only that, it was a cool show as well.

Wow! It is so amazing that something like a storm can disrupt everything. It can force people to go home from work early and everything.
I used to be afraid of lightning when I was a kid. My mom always told me to come straight home if lightning started. Getting struck by lightning doesn’t sound like a lot of fun to me.
Do you know what happens when you get struck by lightning? Have you ever heard of anyone who has been struck by lightning?
