The photgrapher was in the right place at the right time and pushed the button at the right moment.

That is a wild picture! When I stayed at the race track in North Phoenix on rainy nights the lightning would strike the metal grandstands over and over but it never looked anything like that.

I have seen street lights go out and reset because the lightening was so bright their sensors thought it was daytime. The lights would flicker and hum until they were back to full power when the sky was dark again.
