A scarey thing happened on Dad's crew

Yesterday a very scarey thing happened to one of the guys on Dad's crew while they were working in Touchet.. While Dad was running an errand, the next senior guy thought he was using a voltage meter but it was not and it resulted in his being burned. the other guy there was working and saw a big ball of fire all around the guy's head. So he put him in the truck and headed to the hospital in Walla Walla (probably St. Mary's). He called Dad while en route and Dad met them at the hospital. He was flown to Seattle Harborview Hospital. It has affected Dad in so much that he took work off today and the man that drove him to the hospital told them yesterday he would not be in today(this is the 2nd time he's seen an accident like this). Everyone at PP&L is very supportive; in fact, this morning one of the other PP&L employees came over to check on Dad and Debbie, the secretary also called to check on Dad. OF course there will be an investigation by the Company on Monday. The most important thing is that Gordy gets well. From what we have heard the prognosis looks good; one of the rumors was that he'll be coming home today or at least in a few days. Our prayers are with him and his family. I guess this is a BIG reminder to the Linemen that their jobs are dangerous and to ALWAYS be on their toes. I will post again when we really know how Gordy is.
