This was one of several lightning episodes I shot from in, or an easy stroll of, the small motel where I was staying for the night. Here, seen from the building’s south-facing upstairs balcony, three cloud-to-ground strikes that appeared to have a common source, and a variably bright burst of crawlers, erupted in one visually perceived flash, beyond the traffic of Interstate 10. Horizontal red lines are taillights in the time exposure. What a memorable and fun night…seldom has a lightning shoot ever been more convenient!
