| Caption | A bolt of lightning, emanating from the ominous dark clouds of a severe thunderstorm, strikes a wheat field near Elmer, Oklahoma. The unusual color of the clouds on the left side of the photo is due to hail inside the storm. This photo was taken with a lightning detection device, which triggers a camera's shutter when a sudden increase in light level is seen. | |
