Lightning on Half Dome--what???

[balzaccom]

Yeah, well, this is amazing: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/california/half-dome-storm-lightning-strikes/3327580/

And yes, there is a jumble of rocks on the east summit of Half Dome known as the Cave.

I didn't go in it but I'm assuming the "cave" is the opening just below my wife? Not much cover there from lightning.

Shallow caves are deadly if lightning hits... Probly better than out in open tho. Story just doesn't sit right with me.....
