Part of a short but intense lightning flurry just southeast of town, this set of cloud-to-ground blasts erupted in just a few seconds, sending out a roller coaster of booms, crackles and rumbles as their sound waves interacted and overlapped. To locals, it probably was just another stormy night in northwest Texas. To this appreciative observer, it was electrical eye candy, and a real treat. However, after a few more minutes and another couple photos, raindrops began from a deep, new tower building overhead, compelling shutdown of photographic festivities.
