On the flight over we passed near a thunderstorm that was pretty spectacular. I figure it to have been somewhere in the very northern reaches of the Great Plains, maybe even a little way into Canada. As usual with things like this, I never quite caught an image of the very best lightning bursts, but I got a few good ones. Here's what it looked like.
Very impressive! When I flew back to Albuquerque from Houston a few months ago, there was a lightning storm going on to the west. It looked safely distant, but the lightning bolts were a little disturbing.
I was on board Southwest's impressive "New Mexico One" 737. Here's a youtube video of it taking off:
