Lightning Strikes

The first time I ever saw lightning was when I was 12 years old.  It was when I visited my sister in Utah for the summer.  Lightning rarely happens in Alaska, it's just not warm enough.  When I was in college, I would sit in my doorway during rain storms, listening to the thunder and watching the lightning.  It's still just as mesmerizing for me even now.  I'm always drawn to the porch or window when it rains and I hear the thunder.  Here are some pictures of the lightning I was able to get today (yes, I cheated and took a video and then stilled imaged out of it!  But they are still cool!)
