Brees in possible lightning incident in Venezuela (UPDATE: Drew not struck by lightning, is okay)

Ah Maracaibo. I spent the best two years of my life in that city and area. Great people

Lake Maracaibo got rocked by oil spills back in 02-03 when the government came in and took control of the oil rigs in the lake. Tons of damage to the environment on a smaller scale than what happened in the Gulf.
Coincidentally, Maracaibo was the name of a legendary by-the-hour motel in my home town. Did you spend any time there too?
