On our 30th day of less than 1/10th of an inch of rain at WeatherMatrix HQ
in State College, PA, we finally got a drought-breaking thunderstorm last
night. There were several close lightning strikes, along with heavy rain,
high winds, and unusually fast moving clouds.

Here is a record of the lightning strikes from AccuWeather.com RadarPlus.

(I am the red "X"). Notice that there were 3 strikes very close by, less
than a mile away, one at Wal-Mart and one at the Nittany Mall (we heard
that one, big time). There were also several strikes to our east near a new
power substation, probably one of which caused one of my computer UPS's to
blow during a power surge (took one for the team).

Here is the graph from my Boltek lightning detector:

I also have some cloud / gust front photos (looked much meaner in
real-life) and some radar movies at http://www.weathermatrix.net/2005/0705/

This is what the radar looked like at the time of the photos:
