Amazing Maryland lightning

So I come back from vacation today and find we've received some astonishing lightning photos from reader James Willingham while I was away. They were taken during the thunderstorm on April 3. He didn't say where he was during the storm. Wish I'd seen them when they first came in. Here's my personal fave. But here is the link to all four. Thanks to Jim for posting them to the MarylandWeather.com Readers' Photos feature.

Remember, anytime there's unusual, or beautiful, or amazing weather happening near you, see to your personal safety first. But then think about pictures for our Readers' Photos page. Please provide information on the time and place the photo was taken, what sort of equipment you used and how you made the shot.
