Lightning

Over the years I have attempted many times to take pictures of lightning, and failed every time. Until last night, when we had a real proper lightning storm. Probably one of the more violent storms electrically we have experienced here in Indiana.







This one made me jump out of my skin.


Our kitchen @ midnight.

Great job Michael! I'm no stranger to thunderstorms, but that one was one of the LOUDEST and longest lasting storms. I felt like it stalled over our house for an hour. Our downstairs was just shaking... though upstairs in bed I didn't feel it :)
