This had to be one of the scariest lightning shoots I was every one. This is one burst of lighting. It would come out horizontally from nowhere. At one point when I was on the side of this mountain all the hair on my body started to get static. I could tell a charge was building and had to run for cover. Lucky for me I got the strike but did not get struck. The original was shot on film. (C) 2011 James Insogna
