[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was there when it happened and it was incredibly scary and sad.  It had been an absolutely beautiful day and then we began to get a few small rain drops. We packed up and had crossed the street to the bathhouse to wash off when suddenly everyone was rushing off the beach.  Within minutes we had fire trucks, EMTs, etc.

This was in Kitty Hawk btw. Those leaving the beach only knew someone had been hit by lightning.  Sky was clear.  We got in our car and began to leave and further down by Nags Head it was dark, cloudy and raining.

This did come out of the blue.  Aside from very light and fine rain drops there was no other indication of a storm coming.  It was incredibly sad.  Beach remained closed remainder of day and the storm ended up hitting NH and KH dumping a ton of rain with lots of lightning and strong thunderclaps

Sorry, but rain doesn't fall out of clear blue sky. There was a storm close enough that you were getting rain. That's not "off in the distance". That's nearly overhead. Gravity doesn't make rain fall sideways. It comes more or less straight down out of the cloud it precipitated from.

It's SCIENCE, people. [/quote]

Omg, READ the article. [/quote]
