I had the pleasure of watching a storm blow in just after sunset.  As it approached it got very dark and I was treated to several brilliant lightning strikes.  I set my camera up with an intervalometer and captured several.

I also put together a video of the storm as it blew in.  It's 54 seconds long, and shows how it got very dark as the storm drew closer.  The best strikes are near the end:

Crazy lightning! We had a few of these last week. Hope your dogs weren't too stressed out.

Its funny... if I put a bale of hay in the back yard the dogs get spooked... but terrific lighting and thunder doesnt even warrant raising the head...

:D   We've got one like that......slept through the worst storms, but if a breath of wind moves the window blind, jumps off her bed as if she has sat on a wasp!
