“If lightning is the anger of the gods, then the gods are concerned mostly about trees”*…
Lightning strikes around the world– in real time.

As we reach for our rods, we might recall that it was on this date in 1957 that the U.S. detonated an atomic weapon on a test range in the Yucca Flats in Nevada-a test of the Air Force’s AIR-2 Genie missile with a nuclear warhead, part of the Plumbbob series, the biggest, longest, and most controversial test series in the continental United States: 29 tests, of which only two failed to detonate. Exactly seven years later– on this date in 1964– the Soviet Union performed a nuclear test in Eastern Kazakh.
