An early dailypic, taken late last night. The storm rolled in and was full of lightning and thunder. Most were in the clouds, and you did not see the bolts. I was in the driveway for about 30 minutes waiting and could tell the storm was more intense over the town park. I jumped in the truck and drove the half mile. On that drive the skies opened, the rain was pouring, and I got soaked running the overhang I had planned on hiding under. Even that was not dry, with the wind blowing in the water – Camera soaked, I was soaked, lens covered in rain, I only needed one shot. Here it is, a 20-second exposure. There were two times the bolts were visible, this is the better. The other is below. Both are taken as I saw them, no special editing, no addition of lighting, just nature’s show.

There was so much lightning, and I missed most of it due to a meeting. I was able to get a couple of shots, both of which at any other time I would be grateful to get… but there was so much lightning, like fish in a barrel, that I did not get to shoot. Crazy storm, I did get the drone out in front of it (very quickly) as it rolled in – which would have been the dailypic had I not gotten the lighting shots.

Late last night and early this morning there was a great show in the sky. I caught some.
