Lightening Damage

These types of photos always amaze me- the power that Mother Nature has is something we can't take lightly.  I hope by looking at these, you take the lightening alarm serious!  Seek shelter immediately.  By shelter, I refer to the Clubhouse, Hudson House or other large structure.  A rain shelter on the golf course is a perfect place to duck out of the way of a passing rain shower but does not offer the same protection from lightening.  If I recall, I read a statistic that 15-20 people are killed every year on golf courses from lightening strikes.  I hope we never have to be part of that stat at Highlands CC!  BE SAFE!
