The Big Thunderstorm 5- 27- 2012, @ 9:30 pm...

Finally a truly spectacular thunderstorm has just hit the Pittsburgh area, bringing frequent lightning, heavy rain and wind, and photography of lightning bolts. Lightning struck less than a quarter mile away, and may have produced ball lightning.My mother saw a ball of flame-colored light hover near one of the eaves on the front of the house.Lasted about 5 seconds, and appeared when the close lightning struck. I'm extremely jealous...
