This Was the huge Lightning bolt in The Graham area that killed the power to many people!!

HUGE LIGHTNING (8/17/08 morning)

This is the actual lightning bolt that had struck around 330 in the morning that hit a couple of power lines near graham and killed the power to many near by residents! This particular bolt struck the power lines about 2 blocks from my house!!! It came with a fierce crackling and loud bomb sound shortly after, you could see the power line voltage light brighten up also! Even after this Picture was taken more lightning bolts continued to strike the ground only a few blocks away! *If you got any questions go ahead and leave a comment for me to answer* :)
