Lightning (and Bat) Over Tucson

Tucson, AZ

This is a single 10s image catching both a lightning discharge and a bat in flight.

Below is a short video of this storm cell that moved through the
southern edge of Tucson, as photographed from my home. The video
covers about 1/2 hour of activity condensed into less than two minutes.
