Last night there was an incredible lightning storm just north of St. Augustine. We noticed the flashes, and once we saw that it was far enough away to be safe, I grabbed the camera found a good spot. The storm was too far away for any thunder, and I did not think you would get much out of Nancy and I oohing and aaaahhhing, so I tried to put it to music. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think.

Fulgurites?

This should make for some good fulgurite hunting the next day.

Thanks for teaching me that word, by the way!
