I'm scared to death of lightning! We were laying blacktop on a big hilltop alongside a strip mine, when a bad storm rolled in. We had three roller operators, a paver operator, an oiler, two laborers and one truck driver. Two flagmen were 300 feet front and back of us with nowhere to hide. Foreman was gone and our vehicles were parked a mile up the road. The semi was a crane cab and the driver and two other guys managed to squeeze in there. The rest of us got under the dump trailer. Rain was coming down in sheets. We were all sopping wet. Lightning hit a new woven wire fence right beside us on the right-of-way line. It burned the galvanizing off of that fence for about 600 feet.

I hope that's my last encounter with lightning up close.
