A bit of a night owl, I was up last night when the powerful thunderstorm cell I’d been tracking via tweets from KOMO’s Scott Sistek hit Seattle. We were closing in on the end of a movie when the power went out. And, lesson learned, my phone was nearly dead, with barely enough juice to look up the outage (which affected 3883 people on Queen Anne and in Magnolia). So, no posts to Queen Anne View or updates to Twitter (and lesson learned).
Now, it’s the morning after and pictures of the storm are plentiful – and this one may be one of the most striking (no pun intended… ok, maybe a little):

Photographer Anthony May captured this amazing image of lightning over the Space Needle. May posted the photo on Twitter, stating “[I’ve] lived here my whole life and never seen anything this intense.” The photo has been making the rounds online, and trended on Twitter.
