Spectacular electrical storms often spawn near the Louisiana coast. Lightning strikes the ground, above the clouds, and travels great distances through the clouds. I captured this photo with CHDK and a motion detection script (see this post for more details).

A beauty! -- Lightning struck a horizontal rod over an outdoor enclosed swimming pool
where a dozen of us swam, on a clear summer day! -- Is it 1 million volts in a strike?
We survived, in shock, laughing like maniacs, unbelieving ... "We're still HERE??"
It changed our lives! -- I've decided to start a lightning Photo - discussion. -- Are you in?
