It was supposed to be an early night.  Fact is, I have piles of work to do, and it's thunderstorm season.  Not a great combo for sleeping or productivity.  

Seeing the lightshow through the window from inside, the flashes coaxed me out.  I was able to set up and fire off only a couple of shots before the rain came down too hard to stay.  Shortly after I made it inside, the street started to flood.  

(An interesting afternote.  This storm rolled through about 12:45am, and about 45min later was followed by an even larger one.  Too bad I'm not waterproof)
