Illustrative image: For whatever reason the good storms have been avoiding the Tucson area this year, depriving me of the opportunity to get good lightning shots! This is about the best that I've got so far, the storm was about 14-15 miles east of us. Really lighting up but the lightning was pretty much all cloud to cloud. With any luck and a sacrifice to the weather gods I'll hopefully be able to come up with something a bit better! BTW, the light spots up above the clouds are not hot pixels but stars! — A Guy Named Nyal/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0
