Lightning

I was running this evening and was hearing rolling thunder towards the end of my run. The skies over Bukit Timah is almost pitch black. Then, I saw the broadest streak of lightning that I have yet seen strike somewhere near. It was hair-raising. We have one of the highest, if not the dubious honour of the highest lightning strike rate in the world. There were still people with children walking in the park. What's the matter with these people?
