This storm popped up almost directly on top of me and cut loose with some really wicked lightning that got way to close to me.

The lightning isn't good in this shot but I had to post it, this bolt hit within 100 yards of me as you can see how it lit the backyard up. I pretty much jumped out of my skin. Had to retreat a little farther in the patio after that strike. I'll post a few more when I get home that need to be cropped some to remove the patio roof that got in the way when I retreated.

Ok added the 2 that needed a little cropping.

Well done. KUDOS to you.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
