Lightning at 5 am this morning.

What a great front row seat we had for the lightning, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Anyone else wake up to watch (not sure there was a choice to wake up or not)

Yes! It was about 4:30a when I saw a light show going on in the sky. Lots of flashes - my mom always called it "heat lightning" (not sure if that's a correct term for it) - but anyhow, it was interesting to watch. A quick storm followed it and it had all passed by 7a.

Not sure what side of the Island you're on, but over here on the South-West side, it was rather incredible ! No direct hits here, but PLENTY of RAIN!

Much earlier (within a couple of hours after sunset - don't remember the exact time), there was a tremendous bolt that hit somewhere on the mainland, in what looked to be Gilford. That was a biggie!

I don't know if it was the storm this morning or the forecast but we got back from a boat ride just before the rain and it sure is quiet out there! I guess everyone went home early. I think the air has changed since the afternoon shower too. It feels a lot cooler to me.

The pre-dawn electrical storm was fantastic. Lots of lightning, thunder, and rain. At dawn, rays of light beamed upward as seen from East Bear Island.

the thunder woke us all up at around 5:30 and we all sat in the living room staring at the skies. Bright flashing lightning.....awesome. Best show of the summer
