lightning

Earlier tonight, around 9:15pm, a severe thunderstorm rolled into Madison County from neighboring Limestone County, heading straight toward my house and Huntsville. So, of course, I grabbed my camera and tried to not become the human lightning rod.

Near the upper right corner there is a faint streak of lightning


Two very bright flashes during a single exposure. At this point I decided to go inside.
