No, nothing was damage. The electricity never went off either. It sure was close at time. That first one scared the crap out of me when I struck. I so close in my face. I was sitting out on the back patio watching and recording it. Stay tunned....There's more storms on the way later this week! I post more lightning strikes if I get some good ones on tape. :good

It's going off here again this morning in Lake Havasu. Lightning, thunder, wind and some rain. Having a hard time this morning capturing the lightning since it seems to be only striking once in one area.

GREAT photos honey~~ You really should send them 2 the Havasu newspaper. Maybe they will post them in the newspaper. AND............ if they DO, maybe you will get famous and people will want your autograph... heeeheee :rotflmao

Hey Mike, Like the pic's. They remind me of a lightening storm I got caught in at Lake Mead about 10 years ago. The lightening struck a tree in the camp ground about 50 feet away from our camp. AWESOME

I wouldn't mind being the last man on Earth - just to see if all of those girls were telling me the truth.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my lightning photos. I love lightning and just can't get enough of it!! Ok here is one lightning strike that was super close to me. It couldn't have been more that 300-400ft away from me. I captured this video with my cam-corder at my river house in Parker, AZ September 7th 2002. Watch the flash of lightning on the palm tree. You'll get a idea of how close this strike was. Also I remember hearing the zap of electricity before the thunder hit but the video camera mic didn't pick that up. Check it out.
