The rain was awesome! It was well needed, and had some nice thunder and lightning in it as well. Rained for about 4 hours here in Blue Mountain Beach, and the power went out for about 2 hours starting at 5:00am or so. My generator kicked in automatically and it was nice to see everything work well..
I said a small prayer of "Thanks" for the rain because we really, really needed it.:love:

PS I wondered too if I had put my top up on the corvette, so much so that I went to check on it a 4:30ish this morning - whew! I was in the clear!

John R, nice photo, but too bad you didn't catch the bolt that struck near your house at about 5 am. On second thought, you might not be here if you did catch that one so it is a good thing you didn't. ;-)

that one actually got me out of bed. the girls were a little nervous due to all the activity, and i wanted to make sure neither had used the thunder and lightning as an excuse to take a pee inside. sadie had climbed into the bed way earlier. i think i went out at around four to close the sliding window in the bus i had left open(for dehumidification, i use haging Damp-rid pouches, works like a champ, dry as a bone) the rain was a welcome cool-r-off-r last night also.

i'd like to make it so the flash doesn't go, and make it a longer exposure time, giving more of the lightning's path.

i'm just lucky if i can take an identifiable picture - a photog i ain't ! mr audie can take much better pictures.
