I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

From what the news article had to say it happened around 1130, so much for summit before noon. A gruesome reminder that Colorado weather is not predicable and you can get hurt and even killed if you're not paying attention.
My condolences to the family that lost a dog and best wishes to all who were injured.

Hiking season is here. So is the afternoon t-storm season. Always start early so you can be off the peaks before the afternoon. If caught high with sparks flying about, if at all possible descend rapidly.

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY - Fifteen people were struck by lightning and a dog was killed after they were caught in a storm 500 feet below the summit of popular 14er Mt. Bierstadt Sunday morning.
The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office says eight adults were taken to the hospital from the trailhead -- three of which were taken to Denver-area hospitals. One of them was in serious condition, the other two had non-life threatening injuries.
Five others refused further treatment, the sheriff's office says.

As some of you already know, I was hit by lightning today when I was hiking Mt bierstadt with my dog. I survived but my wonderful dog Rambo took the lightning bolt with me and he died. Here is our last picture together. It's because of him I'm still alive. I'll miss you so much Rambo
