SOFIA (Reuters) - Lightning killed an entire herd of 70 goats in central Bulgaria Thursday, but their goatherd escaped unharmed, civil defense officials said.
The herd was sheltering under a large tree during a summer storm when the bolt struck, killing all of them. "At least the goatherd managed to survive. He was under a different tree," civil defense officer Anastas Iribadzhakov told Reuters.

How many times have I heard: never hide under a tree during a thunder storm.
The sheep herder is lucky the lightning did not travel through the ground and up his leg.
I watched a program on the dangers of lightning. A zot can travel under the earth and exit through a man six miles away, according to scientists.

Goats are apparently as dumb as cows. They too line up under trees all looking toward the tree.

I love photos such as this. If I had an extra room in my home I would fill it with photos of lightning.

Carbon based molecule chains in abudancee.
And renewable too, especially in blue state areas which can be mined for such resources.
