It's not often lightning strikes as dramatic as these are captured in photographs. These photos were shot in Harvard, Illnois back on Thursday, July 20. Powerful storms, which swept Mc Henry County, unleashed these cloud to ground strikes captured by Michael Janesak. Many thanks to Michael for allowing us to post these here—and many thanks to Michael's co-worker Mary Davis who first called these shots to my attention!--Tom Skilling
