Cool, I like how the lightning lluminiates the cloud in contrast to the blackness.

I love thunderstorms, but we hardly see them here. I have two rolls of 1600asa in the fridge, waiting on a decent storm. Hope one happens this summer
I also honour your heroism in the face of Great Danger with this given for Valour in Arts

Very beautiful! Hope your side of Iowa is doing ok. We've been having tornadoes and flooding for a couple of weeks now. Stay safe!

Thank you, unfortunately I live just south of Oakville and along the Mississippi river and now we are moving because the water keeps going up...

Sorry to hear that. Floods can be pretty devastating too. The town next to ours flooded this year (we got it last year and still haven't fully recovered). We have a small river here that has been threatening to go out for over a week now, but it seemed to have dropped last night. Anyway.. be safe!
