I found some lightning...


So I'm a sucker for lightning storms.  It's true.  Well tonight was my lucky night.  I was planning on spending the evening getting things done - you know, the type of things that we all mean to do, but always find reasons not to.  Well, I got distracted again.  There's an intense lightning storm happening right now around the Ivins and Kayenta area.  After hearing the 3rd or 4th thunder roar in a row, I decided to drop everything and headed to one of my favorite spots -Hellhole- to check it out.  I was having a hard time catching pics and I wanted to share this just cuz it's so frickin' cool.  I tried my best to get a bit of it on video, but it was tough too, since the storm was happening literally in a 360 around me.  It was hard to know where to point.  Guess I'm just gonna have watch most of this one on replay in my brain movies.

Anyways, I managed to get a few clips and caught what I think was a pretty close strike right at the end.  So here it is:

Man, that looks cool! I've been itching to take storm pix for a long time but I haven't had the opportunity yet. It's just been windy as hell here ... I couldn't even go running. :/ I just hope it will finally start raining tomorrow.
