More to come about this. But we drove through the most insane lightning storm last night. I have never seen anything like it and was terrified. We had strikes like this one in the pic going off about every 5 seconds or so. They were so close and all around us. INSANE!! We took video and this picture is from that video.

Crazy! Bryan would have loved it, but I would have been scared out of my mind! (While pretending not to be, for the kids' sake!)
Chris even got scared a little, it got a little hairy there for a while. It really was intense and literally right beside and in front of us. And it was non stop.
Wow!!!
that's crazy!!!
Here's the thing...when driving in a lightning storm: DO NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR!! The tires provide perfect insulation against the electrical force! And, as I just read on The Weather Notebook: "A car, moving or not, is a very safe place to be during a thunderstorm, because of something called the skin effect. It's not the tires or the frame that protects you, it's the metal structure of the car itself that acts like a protective covering, or a skin, that conducts electric current around the surface of the car and not inside it. Hence, it's safest when the windows are up." DUH!! So glad you are safe & had a marvelous time in spite of it all! Watching for your Sports Blog posts!!! YAY!
Oh no Evey! I HAD to tell you, I drove by the Tacoma Dome last week and thought of you.... because guess who is going to be there in concert...

sorry got carried away
That is such a great picture! I love thunder and lightening storms! I love sitting outside watching!
This is a fantastic capture. Few things scare me more than lightning. I'm good when I'm indoors, but if I'm stuck far from home and a major boomer rolls in, I get nervous.
Of course, living in the most active thunderstorm zone in North America doesn't help!
This definitely tops the cool list for the week!
