...and boy are my hands hot!!  Very Happy

This morning, the Moon was transiting across the sky on my webcam feed, so I thought I'd look at yesterday's time-lapse to see if it was there, too. We had a storm come though early in the morning yesterday, so I was surprised to find that the camera woke up to record the image. Knowing this, I'm looking forward to those summer storms that wake us up with a flash and boom!

I think it is a cloud-to-cloud strike behind the the. The storm woke us up, but there were no close strikes based on the delay of 5 seconds and up. Interesting how much it lit everything up and silhouetted the IP camera on the mast. The light at the bottom is a security light on the neighbor's barn.
