Lightning strike at Caylee memorial 'could be a sign from the angels' | Photo

A tall tree in the same area where Caylee Marie Anthony's remains were found was struck by lightning this afternoon — just hours after her mother learned she would be released from jail next week.

"It could be a sign from the angels that they aren't happy with what's happened," said 40-year-old Keyla Lugo of Orlando, who has visited the memorial in the Chickasaw Oaks subdivision twice in the last week. "It's a sad day for Orlando, for Caylee and for justice. The rain, the lightning, the storm – it's the heavens indicating they aren't happy." The vacant lot on Suburban Drive has sprouted a makeshift memorial of teddy bears and flowers — a magnet for thousands since the skeletonized remains of the 2-year-old were found there in December 2008.

Traffic picked up this week with the end of her mother Casey Anthony's murder trial. Casey Anthony, 25, was accused of killing her daughter but a jury Tuesday found her not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.

Or maybe it’s a sign that idiots aught not stand around outside in a thunderstorm.

Is lightning unusual in Florida in the summer?

Maybe it’s a sign that global warming has ended.

As Cooper peered up at the exposed white bark of the pine tree she said: "That is what I call Karma."

So... the pine tree did it?

Superstitious clap trap.

No - the angels showing their displeasure would be a lightening strike on Casey Anthony herself.

Tuscaloosa? Joplin?

Ice age?

Coors Light?

What was the Japanese earthquake a sign of?

Plate tectonics and spoiled sushi.

I'll take one or the other, never both. It's apocalyptic.

If God communicated like this in real time (much of the time), the White House would have been obliterated right after the election. :-)

Huh.

The Almighty must’ve been REALLY pissed about that six-story high ‘Touchdown Jesus’ statue in Ohio, then.

He not only pegged it with a Holy ZOT; He lit that thing on fire and burned it to ashes.

Or maybe that’s just whatcha get fer thinkin’

It’s a long-leaf pine . . . also known as ‘lightening magnets’. I removed all the pines within the immediate vicinity of my house after I had one hit by lightening.

If lightning were to strike Casey during a sunny day, then I’m pretty sure I’d start believing in angels being unhappy.
