Monsoon

Those of you who hail from Arizona won't find this very interesting, since you saw it first hand. Hopefully it will be mildly interesting for the rest of you. This is a short clip of a monsoon storm last Thursday. It did quite a bit of damage in some parts of the valley, but the amazing thing about the storm was the amount of lightning it generated. During a one hour time span there were a total of nearly 5,000 lightning strikes. It looked like strobe lights going off for about two hours. My lame little video won't do it justice, but nevertheless, here you go . . .

That's unbelievable! It's awesome from a distance, but just a little creepy up close I'm sure!
