Superbolt

... my eyes were clicking away like mad, ....

Any picture I have of lightning just can't compare to the Superbolt of October 13, 2001. :/


Full dark.  Power out, taken by Storm.
God spoke:  'Let there be light[ning].'  It
was as He commanded:  a bolt to end
all bolts, one that fractured the entire

sky as the world flashbulbed white ---
and I, under, ducked, waiting for the
crush of thunder.  Had to be a record,
and it was:  it was seen from the DFW

Metroplex to Waco, a distance of 118
miles.  Didn't have a camera then, but
my eyes were clicking away like mad,
storing images into my brain long

before I ever thought about going
digital.  And when I want to be awed,
I pull them out, remembering the
time when nighttime turned into day. 

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (12/3)

Sounds cool. How did they measure the bolt as a record? Never heard of that type of comparison. Patrick
