Thanks for the replies all; it was a good night. Slept like a rock with the windows wide open. Give me clear skies or serious storms; not this in-between cloudy/hazy stuff... :lol:
Just for fun, here's the video I took most of the screen captures from. 125MB, MP4 format.
Personally, the best storm I ever saw was at the 1981 boy scout world jamboree in Kananaskis, Alberta, but that's another story... ;)

All the best and clear skies!

Gordon, I'm sure what happened here... I was replying to a post I made, but I just realized I had this window and another one open, both on TSS. Been a long day; please delete this if you can, it really doesn't matter anyways and my apologies....
