The collision of the 2 weather fronts that resulted in this event, were very short in duration, maybe 2 hours total, but they were spectacular, it was daylight, and the first one caught me off guard, I thout a pole transformer blew up, then the baboooom... I've seen this many times, but it was really cool to be on that front... much more fun than being in the Sangreo Des Christe's mountains, leading pack horses to a remote camp, and having your hair stand on end right before a lightning bolt errupted from your feet... on a 2'wide trail, on the side of a mountain... one side is mountain, the other a 2000' dropoff...
Ahhhh good times...
