If you're up late like me, you've probably been enjoying the crashing thunder and lightening.

I heard the thunder, but was asleep. I love that kinda stuff.

we have been getting some crazy storms here in DC. I'm not use to them but with so many of them over the last month I'm sure I will. I love how a storm rolls in and it pours, then after its over it dries up in 5 minutes.

Yeah dude, I totally enjoy watching lightning and hearing/feeling the thunder.

Thunderstorms are a spectular event to behold- the visceral thrill of a thundering boom or a lightning bolt illuminating the sky, especially at night. It is very reminiscent of Independence Day fireworks going off in the sky (with less colors of course). But fireworks cannot match the sheer ferocity of the house-shaking roar of thunder, can it? Nor are fireworks an act of nature, which adds to the mystique, I feel. But alas, I digress.

Yes, lightning and thunder are a cool experience, but when it keeps me up at night for hours upon hours when I'm attempting to get my beauty sleep, that's when my enjoyment of this natural phenomonon ends and my ire begins.

You had to patiently wait for that. Good job.

Yeah, man. I sat at my window with my crappy Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD1000 pointed at the sky video recording for like 5 minutes straight before that happened.

How about a slowmo version. I want to see that bolt grow at less than the speed of light. You could do the same filming fireworks. Slow each twinkle and wink. And now I'm imagining the psychedelic versions....Color-code them. Windows Media already has this.
