6 injured as a result of lightning strike at PGA Tour Championship

I saw the replay and freeze frame while channel surfing yesterday...two strikes...the one taking the pine tree roasted that sucker...and 4 of the people hurt by pine splinters...reports say 6 but I heard 2 people were in a cart and the percussion wave knocked them out of the cart.  None of the injuries life threatening.  I've been within 30 yards of strikes several times, one just half that distance away...it is definitely a "holy shyt" experience.

Don't mess with lightning!

It's like thunder, lightning
the way you love me is frightening!

Baby, you better knock, knock, knock on wood.

Allegedly, Lee Travino was once asked "what club would you want to be holding, if caught out
on the course in a ligntening storm?"

Travion replied:  "That's easy, a 1 iron, even God can't hit a 1 iron"
