Lightning Fills the Sacramento-Area Skies (Add Your Photos)

Did you see the lightning storm? If you took photos or video, add them here!

While driving from Winters to Davis Sunday night, my wife shouted, "Whoa! I think I just saw lightning." 

A few seconds later, a few more bolts lit up the eastern horizon in the span of just a few seconds, confirming her suspicion. We decided to drive home on country roads so that we would have a better view of the horizon as the lightning flashed continuously. We parked our car on County Road 32 -- west of Davis -- and took a few long-exposure photos using the hood of our car as a tripod. If you took photos, feel free to add them to this gallery.
