Latest Thunderstorm Shots
Here are thunderstorm pictures from late May. The dark sky shots were from a storm that barely clipped us. Amazingly it hardly sprinkled. The later pictures are from the 96 degree day with golf ball size hail and lightning striking a rainbow that I wrote about here. I was so lucky to get that lightning shot. Thank you Sudi-Pie for finding the rainbow or I would have missed both.
Later on in the evening we saw near-continuous horizontal lightning very far away. I took a gig of video. This weekend I’ll edit that to show the lightning branching out in slow motion. I think there will be 3 or 4 really cool sequences.

I hope you have a lightning arrester on your house!

Lucy was wondering about that too.

Don’t know anything about that.
All I know is we’ve got the computers hooked up to a surge protector and battery backup.
Hopefully the neighbor’s flag pole doubles as a lightning rod.
