Flew out to Tampa, Fla. with my friend on Thursday. We landed at 3:30pm, temp was 94, humidity was 98%, heat iindex was around 102 degrees. We picked up the two cars we went after and proceeded on our drive back to Michigan. Everything was peachy-dandy till we were going into Cincinatti . The skies ahead of us was turning a sickly purplish blue-black, I thought there was a twister somewhere in those skies for sure ! Needless to say, I do not like those things . We had no way out of there, we were stuck in traffic and concrete barriers on either side of us. So I did the only thing I could do (follow the leader of the pack) into the bowels of the approaching storm. I was listening to a bluegrass gospel show on FM radio, and I couldn't believe it, this is the first time I ever heard lightning crackling through the FM band! I grabbed my camera from off the seat next to me and tried to catch bolts, they were very loud and numerous. Didn't catch any, but did get some pics of the ominus skies ahead........Enjoy........NGE
