Epic after-dinner entertainment

After dinner tonight, we sat out on the deck to watch the fireworks at the St. Paul Rodeo, approximately 20 miles away across the Willamette Valley. The fireworks were nice - small at that distance, but colorful. What made the evening though, was that SIMULTANEOUSLY an incredible lightning display was arcing through high elevation clouds to the north. The combination of fireworks and lightning was awesome - it was like God was saying, HA you think that is cool, well watch THIS!
