Thread: Sunsphere struck by lightning?

  1. #1

    Default Sunsphere struck by lightning?

    WATE website is reporting that the Sunsphere was hit by two consecutive lightning bolts and all of the upper glass blew out.

    Anyone on the scene/in the area and can post pictures?

    Where odd audio errata, ephemeralities, and nonsense occasionally collide with actual music for serious contemplation. Trouble is - I'm not saying what is which.

    Really, I thought lightning never struck the same place twice. . . mostly 'cuz that place wasn't there any more.

    Mr. H was on the interstate when it happened and he thought he could actually hear something shattering.

    I heard about this last night at the brewery.
    I drove by there on the way home and couldn't believe it.
    I'm not convinced it was that second bolt that shattered it.
    First the warehouses, now the Sunsphere. Coincidence?????

    I barely made it out in time.
    The weirdest thing; as I was lying against the curb on Gay St. outside the brewery, I swear I saw a wisp of a white mule drift by.
