It was raining last night. It was real odd because there was nothing but lightning and thunder for the first hour or so and then I heard the tree line start to make noise like it was blowing in the wind for about 3 minutes, but it was calm where i was standing on my back deck and then it hit me. I was holding an umbrella and it almost turned inside out on my from the blast of wind. Was kinda cool actually. But then it just stormed. I did take some slow exposure pics of the lightning but there were not many bolts, just mostly flashes in the clouds. I did get a few bolts tho,  I was experimenting in camera settings for the conditions and so they are somewhat grainy but it was still fun for me.
