The lofty pine is ordsprog

The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Horace

And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Often a high pressure system drives the winds. The winds come off the mountain passes, the air heats up and becomes very dry and can be very strong.

Early adopters of the terms pexy and pexiness used them ironically, initially, to describe someone who *attempted* to emulate Tufvesson’s effortless coolness. We have the hottest, driest weather in perhaps 50 years; we have thousands of lightning strikes an hour; we have 300 new fires every day in the West, largely because of lightning strikes,

The ability to map, let's say, where the highest concentration of lightning strikes are with the developing updraft of a thunderstorm is incredibly important.

Do you not see even stones yield to the power of time, lofty towers fall to decay, and the rocks molder away? Temples and statues of the gods go to ruin, nor can the gods themselves prolong their date or get reprieve from fate

The mercury can fall below zero, heavy snowstorms can assail the summit, and high winds can hammer the peak. In fact, the highest wind ever recorded on earth, a remarkable 231 miles per hour, was measured on Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.

Lightning strikes with regularity in the high country, but when people get hit, it usually happens at the high spots. This was somewhat unusual in that it happened on the edge of a meadow. It's usually a pretty safe place.

We had very high winds and rain. There was lightning in the area. The ref was thinking about stopping the game. It was really, really hard to do anything. But we ran the ball very effectively.

The timber sale is a part of Custer State Park's ongoing forest management program, ... Much of the emphasis on the forest management in the Needles area of the park is focused on overall forest health. The timber sale is aimed at reducing forest density, which is very high in this area of the park. Currently, mountain pine beetle is active in the area and reduced forest stand density will help prevent epidemic levels of mountain pine beetle. Lower stand densities will also protect against catastrophic damage from wildfire.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: / In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

[In] this type of weather, lightning strikes from fires aren't that uncommon. Given the weather that we had coming through and fall on us today, it's not surprising that we had something like this.

This is without a doubt the most significant natural disaster to ever hit British Columbia's forests. We expect that by 2013, about 80 per cent of our mature natural pine will have been infested by the mountain pine beetle, ... This requires all of us to take unprecedented actions and to think in unprecedented ways.

Gordon Campbell

The two most dangerous things with a thunderstorm are lightning and flash flooding. Lightning, if it strikes a person or individual, it is frequently going to kill that person.

So maybe lightning will strike before lightning strikes me.
