• Lightning caused boat fire?
  • Cats are much more likely to be struck
  • We were struck in non-storm conditions
    • We were struck on the mooring
      • PS -- needless to say
        • Very fortunate
          • As confident as can be
      • I knew of a big Oyster that was hit 3 times in as many years.
        • That would frustrate anyone
        • Watched a boat get hit, tied to a dock. It had a wooden mast and was moored
          • I heard similar tale- taller masts on either side, I think all metal
        • 3 lightning hits. Good use of the word, 'despondent.'
      • That's small change..
