We had one of our rare (every two or three years) decent lightning
displays here last weekend. Got a few shots from the viewpoint down
the street before I had to retreat to the balcony as the rain rolled
in.

The Space Needle was lit orange in support of a bicyclists against
cancer fundraiser.

After retreating home, I lost the skyline but sure saw some tortured
clouds.

Another rain squall moving in.

Asd the storm finally began to wane, one last reminder that
flash-roasted humans taste just like chicken...

Thanks!

The bolt has checked into a treatment program to deal with its
