Lightbulb Lightning and Rainbow

I was looking at some of the excellent lightning shots and thought I'd post one of my own. I'm not pleased with the quality but I am very happy with what I captured. See the rainbow? The lightnign crosses it. This was followed by an evening of anvil crawler lightning (and preceded by a 96 degree heat, flying shingles, a hailstorm, flooding, etc... LOL).

Lightning Strikes Rainbow in Texas

Wow, lucky you are (well, it takes more than just luck, surely...)...Steven ! I heard a lot about the powerful storms in Tx, and now I see the beauty of them. Thanks for sharing!

I was more concerned with the rainbow at the time, so it was pretty lucky.

North Texas has some great thunderstorms during Spring. It's exciting for those who like it and pure terror for others.
