The first of a work in progress...

As you can see from an earlier post, I have a rather unobstructed view of the Chicago skyline and the Sears Tower ("What you talkin' about Willis?"). So of course I get to see this view in all types of weather conditions including thunderstorms. With thunderstorms of course comes lightning and with that comes The Sears Tower getting absolutely hammered by some of the largest lightning bolts this weather geek has ever seen. This photo was taken last week when some cells moved through and delivered a quite a show. I was inside of my place due to the rain, so that is the reflections that you see and the spots are from the rain drops on the glass. This is a work in progress, but I still wanted to share this photo, as it is my first of a building being struck by lightning. Enjoy.
