Shortly after people in the Ouachita Baptist University football stadium press box became mesmerized by freakish lightning bolts seemingly wrapped in clear plastic bubbles, the mountain approximately two miles west of town began to rumble. It had long been a landmark for press box personnel, rising as it did from the barren, desert landscape before them. It was shaped somewhat like a volcano, and now, in the middle of a violent electrical storm, it began to act like one.
Rock thought he had heard that the mountain was in no way volcanic. He had always believed it wasn't, but as he watched, the top suddenly cracked open, and it exploded with such violence the entire stadium shook.
Fire and rock blasted up and outward. It seemed as if the stadium was in dire jeopardy, but the large boulders launched from the explosion landed in a nearby practice field. The only remaining risk was the vast amount of water that had begun to rush from the obliterated mountaintop. It poured like lava toward the stadium, but it soon became clear that it would not endanger anyone there.
