Dreadful! You don’t think this can ever happen in a built up area. But I always remember a woman who was killed by lightening here in NJ about 15 years ago. She was walking from her car to a diner. Scary really.

Thank you very much.
Thanks for your prayers.

He is not being a jerk.

LOL would you believe....
“Don’t tell people how or for whom to pray.”

Don’t tell me what I can or cannot say.
You never know when your time will be up.
Sad to hear they were struck down like that.
I’m about 9 miles NE of Lafayette Square, by roads; and we certainly saw it getting darker and heard distant thunder - but I’m in the open, not in the middle of the city.
We noticed that the tiny hummingbirds don’t seem to have any fear of downpours - often they are still fighting over our feeder in the midst of storms.
Buzz off, hall monitor.
As long as Joe Biden is in the White House I would stay as far away as possible. God is waiting for him to come out.
Baptizing them is one of MormonISM.
Don’t tell people how or for whom to pray.
Doesn't look like he did.
Opel GT heaven!
