An otherwise innocuous summer storm made itself known by hurling lightning across the highest part of the High Plains in northeastern New Mexico. This part of the Land of Enchantment has been good to me for storm observing, despite the dearth of roads; indeed, nearly 13 months earlier, I shot a head-scratcher of a lightning strike looking a different direction, from just a few yards west of this very spot. Five years before that and a few miles away, we had fun with a nicely structured supercell and its copious hail dump.
