As I was sitting in my room using my computer, I happened to look out the window. What I saw was the most interesting thunderstorm that I have seen in years. Amidst the pouring rain that I have found to be typical of Atlanta storms, there was a massive amount of lightning flashing through the sky. This lightning was not simply bright, it was close and it was purple. That alone would have made the storm memorable, but it also lasted for an incredibly long time: nearly two hours of thunder, lightning, and precipitation.
Clearly, this was not an everyday occurrence. I found the display interesting, but I am glad I could watch it all from the comfort of my apartment.
