I enjoy the changes in weather and if I see that there will be clouds out during the day or a storm, I keep my camera handy. After stepping out to go to the store, I saw some storm clouds and grabbed my camera. Then a great opportunity started while walking to my car from the store. The clouds were still low and the lightning was hitting every few seconds. I stayed outside of the store for a while to get this shot.
