to carl and others
I have also been told lighning storms cause reactions in the atmosphere.
this actually came to me via a family friend who was a retired
waetherman in the north texas area with many years experience. For this
reason I have always tested the PH of all rainwater when possible. I
have found variation, but am unsure if it may also be due to suspended
dirt, etc. in the air. I would assume the first storm would wash the sky
clean and so on.. We don't get that many long sustained lighting storms
in our area. I do, however, automatically catch, maintain, and water
with this water. this keeps 128 gallons on hand and refreshed each time
it rains
bye for now
