July 28th storm in Central NC

[Chris Strahan]

A big storm rolled through central North Carolina on Thursday evening. Very intense lightning coupled with heavy rain!
Here is a picture or two I'd though I'd share with all of you!
Oh yeah, keep in mind these pictures were taken at midnight local time and not edited!

Wow, that's probably what the bright initial flash of a nuclear blast would look like. That's usually how my lightning pictures turn out too.
