The rodeo is off to an electrifying start.
A trail ride official struck by lightning during this morning's severe weather is expected to recover fully.

Yance Montalbano, 40, chairman of the Trail Ride Committee, was struck as he and other officials prepared to meet trail riders at Memorial Park just before 8 a.m.

Witnesses told officials Montalbano was holding a raised umbrella when he was struck, and did not seem to be badly injured. He was taken to an area hospital to be checked and is expected to be released later today.
Things to do when you get struck by lightening and survive: Buy a lottery ticket. Immediately. The odds are in your favor, dude.
