I was driving west on 466A and then north on Canal probably around the time the home was hit. It was not raining but I saw several incredible lightening strikes which were immediately followed by deep rumbles of thunder. You could tell there was bad weather right on top of us. And guess what else I saw? People continuing to golf on Havana! Also saw a gentleman walking south on Canal. He appeared to be taking his afternoon stroll and had his umbrella in hand so he wouldn't get wet. I'll give the walker the benefit of the doubt that he was hopefully heading home to take cover. The golfers are another story. There's no polite way to say this ... some people are just really stupid!
We live on a golf course and see this all the time. I can't understand the mentality, but it seems to be pervasive among the golfers here.
