    I'm surprised your eyeglasses stay put on the glare shield.

    Saw this first on YouTube Don. My surprise is that you didn't land immediately.. Another good video.

The only nearby lighting strike I saw was at Lake Charles, LA while on a downwind and cleared to land. I made it a close
base leg! We were stuck there for 2 days in heavy rains.

Living in Florida (aka lightning Ville) I added one of those lightning detectors to display on my Archer's Garmin 430 map.
My purpose: avoid, avoid avoid.,
