That was a lively hour to say the least.
Flashes every second or less, rumbles every 5-10 seconds, crashes once or twice a minute and some real 'tearing' sounds to be enjoyed during the peak of the storm.
As I type the storm is showing me its rear end - I can see the flashes lighting up the towering clouds a brilliant orange, while the base remains cast in shadows. Very epic stuff and I wish I could get snapshots with my PENTAX but it suddenly went nuts and cut out. Still... got a lot of HD video footage to look through after sleep 
The power's been on and off a bit lately. Backup routes doing their job I guess.
The rain was biblical for a time, easily over 100 mm, the kind that ricochets several meters off the rooftops.
Thankfully, no severe wind gusts or large hail to contend with.
Best storm I've witnessed, beating those of last July
