Almost unbelievable photos of an erupting volcano in Chile getting hit by a lightning storm. "Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them." Who knew? via chizumatic.

Trees, or lack thereof, Part II

I uploaded about a dozen large photos of yesterday's storm aftermath. You can click here to see them. Enjoy!

Trees, or lack thereof

Crazy weather in Chicago tonight. Huge trees knocked over, all over the city, just block after block. This is one from down the street. I saw a lot bigger trees crashed into houses and smashed into cars coming home. But another storm's on the way, no time to go back to take photos. UPDATE… A small photo gallery of big images has been posted here.
