Jacksboro Lightning - a photo on Flickriver

            After chasing a tornadic supercell in the Haskell-Trockmorton-New Castle area we ended up in our motel in Jacksboro, TX.
Here, the storm still produced dangerously close CG lightning as can be seen in the photograph. My greatest fear was that the powerlines, which were close to our location, would be hit by lightning....

Photographed with Fujichrome Sensia 100 ISO slide film.
