Yea it was awesome. We were outside with guitars when it was orange. With crazy pinkish lightning. All to Pink Floyd. It was sweet as hell.

There's a lot of awesome pictures posted on twitter. Looks gorgeous. Too bad I was too far south to see it.

Hahah I definitely would have seen that one cause we were only looking west at the lighting. Good thing you didn't get struck. It was a sweet as sky and lighting show.

That was the creepiest Hitchcock sky I've ever seen, I tried explaining the color to a friend and could not. Anyone got a good pick of the sky with the weird colors?

Those pictures are awesome. There was nearly a FULL rainbow in the sky as well, around 8:15 p.m. I was driving along I55 South and it was the biggest, clearest rainbow I have ever seen.



That storm front yesterday was INSANE. My pool was literally overflowing at the top from how much rain fell in that short amount of time. Had to go buy a utility pump yesterday to pump out the front of my house, as a lake was forming outside my door. Keep that weather away from now on, shall we?
