GETTYSBURG, Pa. — A lightning strike at a camp of Civil War reenactors in Gettysburg, Pa., has sent five people to hospitals.
The Gettysburg Anniversary Committee says in a statement that during a severe thunderstorm at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday, lightning struck a tent pole in the Confederate artillery camp, resulting in moderate injuries to two people and minor injuries to three others.
The five were taken to Gettysburg Hospital. One is in stable condition. Two others in stable condition were treated and transferred to York Hospital. Two others were treated and released.
Reenactment officials say a tent-by-tent search of the site by staff and local fire departments turned up no other injuries. They say three small tents were damaged.
We have already issued our claims of irresponsibility.
DKW has more.
And to think that Randal Graves was merely hoping we'd throw some M80s.

That is some weak zapping. Was God distracted?

God started drinking early, it seems. Can't say I blame Him.
There were some fierce thunderstorms in London while we were there - apparently thunder and lightning is quite rare in the UK. A waiter working at a dockside restaurant along the Thames, where there is an incredible view of the city skyline, said that he watched as one skyscraper was struck by a bolt!
thunderstorm
I'm impressed! I wish I could be in two places at once! Smite the Confederacy some more, thunder!
"He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword."
In related news, David Duke is considering running for president.
As a gooper, of course.

I hate when lightning strikes my pole.
God started drinking early,
when you exist outside of time, it is never too early to start drinking.
