A Morning Double Rainbow!

There’s nothing like looking out your front window and seeing a huge, full double rainbow. It’s even more special when the rainbow is in the early morning and in the west, which seems to happen here in Ohio far less than seeing a rainbow in the east. (Click on image for larger view.)

Severe Storms And Lightning Strike

We've been in a pattern of severe thunderstorms over the last few days. Last night a storm moved in over Lake Erie and brought in very high winds and heavy rain. The video below shows the storm wind up in intensity as it moved through. The following day, there was more of the same. This time,  I captured a lightning strike. In the second video below, a section of the lightning bolt can be seen striking only a few hundred feet away. (A slow motion video of the lightning bolt is toward the end of the second video,  where the strike is more visible.)
