HYDERABAD, India — Lightning has killed 22 people, mostly farm laborers working in fields, across the southeastern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, officials said Monday.

The fatalities occurred Sunday evening when thunderstorms and rain lashed eight districts in Andhra Pradesh, said N. Chandrababu Naidu, the state's chief minister.

Two women's cricket teams had a narrow escape when lightning struck a tree on the grounds where they were playing in Guntur town, said Sitapati, a district cricket official. "It was a miraculous escape for the players and the people at the grounds," said Sitapati, who goes by one name.

I think it's on the rant due to the mass amounts of morons who were pissed Saturday saying "cmon, play the damn game! The lightning isn't that bad."

Yeah, well, that's like India, man. They have a whole temple for rats there, too.

Just more evidence that worshiping cows displeases Jesus.
