Lightning Strikes
Uploaded: June 13, 2008 05:33:48
During a tornado warning and sirens going off, of course where was I? Out in the field taking pictures.
A rain drop decided to join in on the fun as it hit my lens while taking this photo...
I went inside and took cover after this shot as it started to rain harder and I was getting wet.

Fantastic shot, Karen. This really looks intense. Nature can get very ugly very fast - do try to stay safe. #6055759Karen R. Rubeiz June 13, 2008
Thank you Bojan!I was keeping my eye out the whole time for anything that would make me run for cover...at least in Nebraska we have a basement in our house, so I feel much safer knowing I have a place to run too.
