Hi Jeff, all,

You know, I've seen that picture and read the 55 ft.
arc length claim before, but upon closer examination of
the second pic (which makes the +55 ft. spark length
claim) and comparing it to the very next picture below
it (which shows a man standing at the base for size
comparison - obviously a double exposure) and as-
suming that man is not 15 to 18 ft. tall ;^), I just don't
see anything NEAR 55 ft. long in any of those arcs.
MAYBE half that, at best? Am I the only one having
difficulty with 55 ft. length claim from these pictures
alone?
