And just to take care of the inevitable question -- we had NO warning of this lightning strike. This occurred right before we pulled everyone off for the second time that day. We had a lighting delay early in the morning and we were all aware of the fact that we would be have thunderstorms rolling in and out throughout the day. With that, I made sure to be outside as much as possible to keep an eye on things. We had NO lightning OR thunder claps for almost 1 1/2 to 2 + hours before this strike occurred. It simply came up out of the blue with absolutely no warning. Thank goodness the trapkid was out of the house. He had just exited the trap and had made it back to the 27 yard line when the strike occurred, literally 15-20 seconds before.

That being said, I have a souvenir from the trap -- a piece of concrete was still holding on only by paint. Peeled that off and have a nice "trophy" for the case.
