[GH85Carrera]

On the commute in today it was very dark. The clouds are thick and the possibility for rain today is 100%. The entire sky would light up with lightning on occasion. It is like a giant flash of light for the entire sky. I could not see the lightning bolts but the clouds would all light up.

It reminded me of many years ago we were returning from a photo shoot. I had a portable flash unit made by Norman. That sucker was powerful. The battery pack was huge and it had a belt strap that was several pounds. We would always turn off the battery and then fire the flash to discharge the capacitors. I was sitting in the car and the guy driving had stopped at a grocery store for something. I fired off the strobe to be sure it was discharged and I noticed a lot of the people in the store looking around. They had seen the flash light up the store but did not see the source. It was funny to see everyone looking at the lights. I fired off several more flashes and they were all looking around. The entire front to the store would light up. My fun ended when we drove off.
