We got nothing in Anthem, but a ridiculous light show from about 8:00P-Midnight.

It was great. The walls were actually shaking in my house from the thunder. I don't think we got as much rain as some of you guys did, but the lightning was amazing. I opened up the blinds in the bedroom so I could see out.

I slept through all of it, but it must have hit Goodyear pretty hard. My neighbor's trampoline is in my other neighbor's tree. :eek:

The storm short circuited the smoke alarm in my complex. That was not a nice wake up call early this morning.

Amazing storm... The hail was incredible. At about midnight, it sounded like someone had opened up a cannon loaded with rocks and marbles on our house!!

As long as the tailgate goes smooth, I'm good.

I am sitting on my front porch and due north is a great lightning storm.
What's up with north PHX folks?

noise, bright lights, brief bout of wild wind, splatter of rain, and it seems to be sliding on by. Dogs got a tad restless, but no chows in my lap.

Got hit hard again last night - started at about midnight agian - just like the night before... And it sounded much like the night before - the Thunder just never stopped!

Only last for about a half hour though... Hard downpours. Tons of lightening and non-stop thunder... Not too shabby...

Nothing so far tonight, but here is a pic I took from the roof of my parking garage in South Scottsdale last night.
