Funny it is, how often we frequent storm observers end up in some of the same places as before, hundreds of miles from home. Two years and four days prior, I photographed a sunset at the same pullout. This time, it made a great vantage for a few minutes of attempts to shoot bright, daytime lightning from a former supercell that was evolving into a small bow. Unlike an even older, more-distant supercell (with small, ragged wall cloud) visible at lower left, this storm’s hot lightning did not start fires. It was too wet! The core at right was encroaching fast, and after one more, much closer flash, I would have to leave the position before rain got too heavy.
