Jonathan, thanks for the report.

The line of storms which passed through State College PA (the home of
WeatherMatrix) also had an inordinate amount of lightning with them, in
fact it was mentioned in the severe thunderstorm warning which was
issued:

http://www.weathermatrix.net/archive/severe/0507.html

"THIS IS A DANGEROUS STORM. INTENSE LIGHTNING IS OCCURRING WITH THIS
STORM."

Which is really of note here because generally our local NWS does not
modify the warnings away from their template.

I videotaped the storms coming through at about 10:30 last night and got
a lightning strike or two on tape, will probably be after vacation
before I can get them online.

We got about .60" of rain out of it, in a short amount of time.
