Had a nice storm this morning. I was actually awakened by the sound of yet another alert on my phone because of a server at work having an issue but after I fixed that I noticed it was quite rumbly outside so I opened the windows to watch a bit and the lightning started up.

By the time I realized I should shoot a bit of video or take a picture or two, the most impressive stuff had passed but I managed to catch a bit of good stuff:

This was toward the end of the storm. Getting pictures was really pretty tough, about 99% of them turned out just a black screen.

Ah I love a good storm. Fortunately this year has been fairly good for rain compared to some in the past. I was actually surprised the power didn't go out at any point, though we did have an outage lasting about 6 hours the other day but that wasn't from a storm. Something at the power company just blew up at 6 in the morning and they didn't fix it until almost Noon.
