Description:
We got to Tulsa OK by mid afternoon. We stopped in a muy shady part of town. Some hard living girls were “getting rides” from truckers. Finally got enough wifi to find the local theater showing Wall-E. Spent a pleasant couple hours. Drove around Tulsa. Finally found a starbucks with help over the phone from Tracy. It was lightning like crazy. We spent 3 hours there. I had decided to drive all night to get past Oklahoma. One of the baristas invited me to taste coffees with him which is part of his training. We tasted Sumatran and Arabian Sanai both from the French press. When the rain got really hard I dashed out to the car to close the windows. Lightning had fallen two blocks away. I knew it was risky. The car was parked under a tree. As I was running towards it. Lightning struck an electricity pole in frontof the coffeshop. I saw the sky get lighter and then even lighter. I was too far away to feel the electrified skin crawling sensation that you’re supposed to feel in those cases but the sound follwed instantaneously and an eight-foot ball of white-yellow fire and sparks erupted around the power lines. It lasted a couple of seconds.
