A rather nail biting night
A rather nail biting night

I was in bed last night listening to a podcast and all of a sudden the dogs and I heard some pretty loud booms.

So I stepped out onto my porch and watched and listened as some pretty serious thunder and lighting were happening in all directions around my place.

This is the one thing that makes me most nervous out here is the threat of lightening strikes hitting the very dry ground out here.

I saw several vertical bolts of lightening and a lot of horizontal cloud to cloud strikes. It lasted for a good hour and the moon was such a very orange color, probably from a bit of the smoke that we had here in our area the past couple days from fires going on in various places around us.

That I know of so far this morning, this storm hasn't caused any fires in my area and I'm very thankful for that. It always puts me on edge.

UPDATE: So there are some small fires I'm seeing on our local Facebook page. So fingers crossed they get put out quickly. There is no wind right now which is a really good thing but in the late afternoons, we always get some pretty strong wind up here.

I did nothing at all to the color in this photo. This is how it came out of the camera.
