Special Report: Lightning Strike on Big Thunder
Taken 24 July 2003
    Notes: This week we had many thunderclouds and some lightning strikes. Thursday morning the crew arrived to find that one of the scaffolds had taken a hit and damaged some wood at the base. I have the wood.
 
The leg of the scaffold that got hit. By the time I took this they had put a new piece to replaced the broken one.
