The Sound of Oklahoma
The other night we were at a social with the teens from a church outside of Oklahoma City, OK. The adults were watching the weather pretty carefully, because there was a forecast of heavy storms possibly spawning tornados. I went outside, and you could hear this far off eerie wail of a siren. I looked around and you could see in the distance the wall cloud and the lightning was spectacular. You could see the bolts of lightning run horizontal to the ground. I realize this picture is very bad technically, but I didn’t have a tripod, and the neighborhood had quite a bit of light in the foreground.

Should you have been out in that storm? It sounds pretty dangerous to me!–Mom

I actually like the effect of the lightning being sharp and the surrounding image content having motion blur. Nice touch.
