Condo Lightning

The stroke of a CTG lightning bolt strikes beyond the Colton Square Condominums as seen from Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 8:37 PM, Thursday, May 3, 2012. This
image is a video frame capture and looks southwest toward the approaching thunderstorm. The storm was rather tame as storms go--mostly lightning and steady rain but no hail or high wind. Not so in southeast Iowa at this moment though--a tornado was reported on the ground there. I safely shot the video from under the overhang of the church's front entrance.
