Lightning strikes behind the cityscape of downtown Raleigh


Lightning between Wachovia Building and RBC Plaza


Faint bolt behind BB&T


Internal lighnting flash over the city


Cloud to ground lightning strike from Dorothea Dix


Lightning to the west from Boylan Ave

    I had a feeling you will be out there taking incredible shots, as always :) Thanks for sharing your work with us, Matt. I wish I could take such wonderful photos, myself, but I will settle for enjoying yours. Thanks to Beth for being supportive, too. Without her moral support and patience such images would not be possible as often as Matt shares them.

    I never realized how good our skyline looked at night…if only 1/2 Progress Plaza were lit up…then it would be perfect!
