LIGHTNING AND THUNDER STORMS were notorious in Vietnam and Thailand. </strong>Parachure flares were a common nightly sight as man tried to cast light upon lurking enemies. Flares would light the earth like an island of amber light in a sea of darkness... but heat lightning and thunderbolts could change horizon to horizon from midnight to brilliant daylight in a heartbeat. Air/Security Police who guarded base perimeters in Towers and Bunkers knew they could guard against Viet Cong and NVA... but  lightning could strike without warning and was deadly. © 2012 by Don Poss
