Here some other pix of the lightning (I finally set aside some time to find them!). For some reason, they come out really grainy whenever I post them from the Slack app onto garden.org. Hopefully you can still manage to see the lightning bolts, though.
The first picture is from the second storm we had, in which there was purple lightning. The next two are from the first storm which had red lightning. Since being here, we've only had one storm with good 'ol white/silver lightning (which was the only color we got in CA). All our other storms here have had red, purple, or blue lightning.
