Man! I wish some agency would make the strobe light manufacturers turn down the intensity a few notches. They are way hard to not see but they really are blinding at night or in rain or both. I can understand why some people are distracted (or temporarily blinded) by them when they get closer to them.
There is a tow truck operator, in Oregon I think, who will not run strobes for that very reason. They are dangerous for emergency personel as well.
