A friend sent me this link that may be ball lightning in Alberta, Canada. I don't know what it is, but it's damn freaky!

Neat!! I have heard of ball lightning, but never seen it. Not sure what else it could be, so I agree with that guess.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Yes, I heard about that - very cool!

We get so little lightening where I live that any lightening is a big deal. It sounds like this event was pretty special.

Jay, if you haven't experienced a great big prairie growler first-hand, you've missed out.

No prairie ones, but my boys were born in Ottawa, and we had a doozy when we lived there.
