So, what happened? I wish the report said how the patrolman got them out. Did he just open the door or what?

Kyras... if you have sandy soil, and lightening rods and you get a hit out there.. start digging it up cause you just got a glass sculpture out in the yard..... older brother showed me that and then we all seen it on the movie Sweet Home Alabama... it's pretty cool...
I love that movie! Own it. Watch it every so often.

The ground is mostly decomposed granite. The ramamda is among granite rocks. It's very dry normally but even dryer now due to the drought. My friend, Bob, mentioned that the dryness would affect the grounding of a lightning strike, too, somehow.

Yeah, that makes sense, sand => beach. I know it's not something everyone would enjoy but it's heaven to me, especially at night when the Milky Way is so easy to see.
