We had a really spectacular thunderstorm last night. Jerry & Greg were already falling asleep, but the lightning was bright and frequent enough that I could tell it was going to keep me up, so I went into the office and watched for about half an hour. I saw almost a dozen lightning bolts, and I mean saw them filling my field of view, not just out of the corner of the eye. It was great.

I saw this from my room (faces west) at The Curtis last night; it was pretty amazing.

Thunderstorms are one of my favourite features of the weather here we had 2 thundersnows this year, including the Valentine's Day ice storm. :)

Yep, I caught that storm. The weather patterns are always really unusual at the end of the summer.

It hit so hard that it knocked pictures off the wall! We had three kids in our bed until about 2:00 am. What a storm!

The thunder in our neighborhood was so strong, it set off car alarms on the street. Spectacular lightning.
