Fantastic series of pictures, HiJinx. We get thunder on rare occasion, but rarely lightning. Awesome display of power!!

1918 2nd Battle of Marne began during WW I

 

The Second Battle of the Marne marked the turning of the tide in World War I. It began with the last German offensive of the conflict and was quickly followed by the first allied offensive victory of 1918. The American Expeditionary Force with over 250,000 men fighting under overall French command played key roles both in the initial defense and the later advances. In the Second Battle of Marne with 30,000 killed and wounded, the United States started suffering casualties on the enormous scale usually associated with the battles of the Great War.

AHA! Now I see said the blind man. And south are the rocks in some of the sunsets?

"And south are the rocks in some of the sunsets?"

Yes!

[HiJinx]

That's a fact, working inside is by far the best way to weather storms like these.

OTOH, the boys and I sat outside on the back porch last night and watched the light show...until the stuff started hitting within a mile of us. Then we decided it was time to come back inside!!

[HiJinx]

Ha, Ha, Ha. Not when there are 60,000 people in line in front of you! (just think of the view)

Well, I can give you #1 if you'd like it...

[Centurion2000]

Nice ... but that khopesh sword sucked in battle ... looks like a cross between a sword and battleaxe ... doing neither job well.

[HiJinx]

Very scary...after they started hitting within a mile of the house, the boys and I came inside to watch TV. The very next boom was so loud and sudden that Mrs. HJ jumped nearly a foot out of her recliner!
