Red Lightning

Here is about the only decent image I captured of the lightning from that same night as Mike did... This is pretty much dead on as far as color goes. This strike was only about 20-25 miles away as it was behind this storm that was to the east of me...

There was a storm that I photographed last summer that has this same red lightning effect. As the storm got closer and eventually overhead, the lightning took on a more traditional purple hue, so my bet is on atmospheric haze scattering the blue light, like during a sunset.
