Ok...it's 12 am where I'm at (lets just leave it at Northern Washington). I was browsing tfp before going to sleep and my brother rushed into my room, telling me lightnings are striking outside. So I pulled up the blinds to see, and what I see is spectacular!! About every 30 seconds or so, a stream of white, pure light lit up the dark night sky, followed by the roaring sound of thunder. And big surprised was that it's not even raining! The northern sky, I see have some clouds, thats where the lightnings take place, but the southern sky, it's clear, so clear that I can even see the big dipper with my naked eyes. I've never seen this before in my life, so this would be my first experience.

We enjoyed it so much that we went out try to take some pic. Unfortunately, our parents took the camcorder and the digital camera so we have to take it with a normal camera with films. Lightning strikes very fast but we did manage to capture one or two good shots, out of a whole role, we'll develop them when we get the chance and post 'em up later.

any ways, the question(s) is: Does any one experience this before? How rare is an occasion like this happens?
