Description This one is slightly out of focus because we had some workers fixing a pipe on the golf course (at midnight!!!) with this really bright work light shining right into the window. I focused my camera as well as I could with that light shining in my eyes, but this happened right after they turned it off and I didn't have a chance to refocus my camera. There were a lot more CGs before this but that light messed the shots up. And, of course, this was the last group of CGs to strike. This storm was pretty impressive as it approached. I just wish I could have captured it better.

Hell of a storm if you have so many strikes withing 17secs. Nice capture.

Thank you! It was quite a storm. I wish I'd caught some of the better bolts that happened even earlier.
