Wow....that's really cool. Any word on when that was from? May have been the same storm that passed through here last week where lightning hit my neighbors house and caused damage to the roof.

Probably nothing. The strikes appear to have all been on lightning rods.

I think the point was getting a picture of three separate lightening strikes in the same frame. Trust me, as a former photographer it is tough as hell to get a lightening strike on film.

I was responding to tex's question about what happened to the buildings. Even as an amateur photog (extremely amateur), I can definitely appreciate the video.
