Extreme Weather! {personal}

So, we had some wicked thunderstorms tonight!  And I love severe weather.  If we’re going to get more precipitation, it might as well be on the extreme side (ie: hail, wind, lightning, thunder, etc.).  Anyway, around 8:30 the light was just spectacular: all surreal and glowy.  I grabbed the camera and headed down to Long Beach to see if I could find something interesting to photograph.  It was like a laser light show.  The storm seemed to stretch out in a semi-circle, from Milford out across the sound and then back towards NYC.  Lightning pulsed across vast expanses of sky and converged into massive bolts that would blast down (far away from where I was setting up my lightning rod/tripod).  Then there was the fireworks show going on in Norwalk (I think).  And the wind kept the bugs at bay.  All in all not a bad night to be at the beach.  Hope everyone got through the storms unscathed!
