[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2228342, member: 91783"] When you live and work at higher altitudes even in the summer you can get exposed to cold temperatures . Even when the rain doesn't have hail in it it's cold coming out of clouds that are 25000 feet and higher . Today we got one of those rains that dump 1/2 to 1 inch in just a few minutes and the temperature went for 73 to 55 in less then 10 minutes . If you are up in the mountains at over 8000 feet you can die in that condition if you get caught out in it away from your truck or cover . I have literally had every thing on me get wet when I was hiding under an over hanging rock from the lighting in winds that were gusting to over 50 mph during a fast micro burst , even my fire starter wouldn't work . I had dry clothes and every thing in my truck but had to walk a mile farther to it . You can see a cloud build up in the distance and head back but they can move faster then you or even a horse can . I worked with a guy in the mountains one time we were horse back and saw one building so headed back . He got hit by lightening and knocked unconscious . His horse went down flopped around some then got up and ran .When I got to him and he was breathing and moaning had a burn on his head . I kept with him till he came around good and was making sense then gathered up his horse and we went home . He wouldn't go to the Dr. but lived and was always afraid of storms after that and I can't blame him . I haven't seen him in 30 or so years and wonder if he's still kicking some times . [/QUOTE]
