THE POWER OF LIGHTNING

This reminded me of when I was on the Galveston PD during a hurricane. My sergeant, who didn't like me, ordered me to be on foot patrol on the seawall - that's right, on the seawall in a hurricane - by Murdoch's pier. There was a big hotel across the street, but I can't recall its name. Anyhow, a lightning bolt struck the hotel roof and showered a ton of bricks down onto the street. It scared the supreme shit out of me and taught me the power of lightning.
