Wow, you're not kidding when it comes to the state fair and rain! That really does sound super unsafe to keep the rides going while there's lightning haha wow - I'm glad nothing unfortunate happened in that regard, especially with that one huge lightning strike! Eek!! After hearing about those people getting struck by lightning in Venice Beach, that thought just totally freaks me out lol. I hope you guys get nice weather next time, and that you're able to visit the petting zoo!
