Sorry folks, I may be out for the rest of the night, even if my name says I'm logged on.  We've got MAJOR thunderstorms now (sounds like they are moving furniture upstairs, except there is NO upstairs!) and that means my satellite connection may disappear... We had storms like this last weekend and we lost power for many hours. Sadly, durng the same storms many lost livestock due to the lightening.  One poor dairy farmer lost 27 cows in ONE strike, another lost three darling mini donkeys.  This weather always makes me nervous about my horses... most stay out with a big run-in. AGHHHHH!!! BIG boomer just now... a real house shaker! 

WOW DJM!! I can imagine the fear you must have! WOW that is so scary! Sad that many lives were taken

Total guests & visitors online for the whole day.

OMG, djm.  That's absolutely horrific.  I have already had the discussion with my kids about never standing under a tree during a thunderstorm.  I cannot imagine how terrible this tragedy was.  Poor babies.   

T- I remember that day like it was yesterday. I haven't seen an electrical storm that was as powerful as that one since. Hundred year old trees were uprooted in its path--it looked like a war zone. As for coming to terms with the loss--I agree with you. The child that I was resuscitating lived thru the night but died the next morning. All the guards went to the funeral to pay our respects. The parents thanked us for doing everything we could. A few weeks latter I was served papers for, get this, ADDED SUFFERING! They claimed that since the child lived thru the night he sustained added suffering.... The parents sued everyone and anyone, not just me. They sued the concession stands, the guards, the county, the park association, the counselors etc.  I resolved that it was their way of trying to cope with such devastation. After several years of court battles I was cleared under the good samaritan act. It became very hush, hush after that.

what is with this forum--makes me remember things I've surpressed long ago..

I'm so sorry DJM. I agree with your assessment regarding the grieving family trying to cope. Of course, you know, the saddest part of all is that no amount of money would have made that family feel any better after the loss of their little girl. Such a tragedy for everyone. Seems like in memory of those children all that ensuing time, energy, and money could have been better spent educating people about the dangers of electrical storms... So sad.

I am signing out for the week!  I may be able to pop in from time to time, but I am not really sure.  Have fun!!
