lightning strikes...twice

We have had bunches of storms the past month. My mother truly believes in the seven years of feast (or rain) and seven years of famine (or drought). We are in the second or third year of rain, and God has really reminded us lately. Due to these storms, I've become a LITTLE obsessed with lightning. As in, I'm making Sb pull off the side of the road so I can take shots. Tonight he used the second camera and we both caught the lightning. Unfortunately I didn't get any shots after dark, when it really started to streak. I tried, but no luck. Something about my aperature, or f-stops, or some other photography lingo I should have paid attention to when I took a class. Oh well, there's always GOOGLE to look things up on, maybe next time!
I should have taken the mono-pod with me...I'm a little shaky with all the lightning and excitement! And maybe just a little bit of shock that Sb actually pulled over AND let me get out of the car...
These two are his shots...let's PRETEND like they are not better than mine. Maybe even better then the lightning, was he and I giving each other photography pointers while standing in the middle of the road...because neither of us have a clue what we are doing...
At one point the conversation turned to this:
sb: You have to wait and be patient.
rhysanne: Oh yeah! Who got the first lightning shot?
sb: Who got three shots since then?
rhysanne: Get in the car, I think it's getting too close
