ok, this is the second time in the past two weeks I've not been able to go swim due to thunderstorm activity.
Now don't get me wrong.. I LOOOOOVE Thunderstorms, but not being able to swim when you've looked forward to doing so since the previous evening is just no fun at all. :mad:
I was literally out the building and on my way to the Y when an clap of thunder abruptly stopped me in my tracks.. I just turned right around and went back into the building. (and onto the discussion boards of course! lol)
Anyone else go to indoor pools that close during storms? In Oklahoma during spring and early summer it sometimes ends up being like a hail mary to decide to go to practice in hopes that there won't be a storm.:rolleyes:
I'm not denying lightning is a force du jour but common sense dictates you don't close an indoor pool when there is a lightning strike two counties over.
Speaking of lightning, I need some help to resolve a dispute. When you are caught on a golf course in a bad storm and can't make it back to the clubhouse, do you A) stay on the fairway outside your cart or B) stay in your cart on the fairway or C) go under the trees in your cart or D) go under the trees outside your cart? I see pros and cons of each approach. You stay on the course you are the tallest thing around. You go under the trees you are the grounding point for them.
