SueAnne
Wow Daniel, how awsome… Are all these lightings for real? I know Arizona is know for its heat lighting is that what this is?
Daniel J. McCa... replied
Thanks much. Heat lightning is the sudden reddish glow you sometimes see on warm summer nights. It looks the way it does (and sounds the way it does – silent) because of its distance from you. And, I definitely heard & saw this : ) It was pretty close. Thanks again, SueAnne.
