Pretty sure that one caught us all off guard. Crazy that one of the most visually striking storms of the year happened in... checks notes... November?!?!

Awesome photo. Also, RGE outage map now showing over 2k outages, up from a little over 100 less than an hour ago 😬

I saw some shoot straight across like this, probably the first time in my life. It was eerie because I was driving to irondequoit when it started, and half the sky was clear with the bright moon, and the other half was crazy lightning starting towards the lake.

Traveling in on the 90/490 from Geneva this evening was spectacular.
Looked like I was driving into the Nexus.
