In 1984 I was at the Mn state fair and witnessed a lightning strike near machinery hill. It struck a 3′ diameter tree that had 3 people seeking shelter underneath, from the rain. Put one in critical condition (not sure of outcome) the other in serious condition and the flash/boom were simutaneous and nothing short of incredible. I couldn’t hear for a week. Fortunately we were 20-30 yards away………. dam that was one of my 9-lives…
