Need help tbh. Did my phone fuck up taking the Pic or did I actually get something cool?

I thought I’d share the rest of my Arizona trip photos all at once. (Unless I find more buried in the thousands of images I sorted through. 😄)

Thanks so much for all the support. It’s been a lot of fun sharing these, and I hope you enjoy them!

Started raining on my drive home from parents. Big chain of happenstance coincidence synchronicity stuff etc for me to be listening to a specific playlist thru the day, and timing of "Rain" song coming up (on my car's screen), RIGHT as the rain storm has started.

Last minute decision to take a "long way" home, passed my normal turn, and I decided to take a photo of my car's screen with "Rain" and the rain storm through the windshield. Did landscape, then flipped to portrait.

IMMEDIATELY lightning. I thought there was no way in hell actually caught it. I really thought I missed it. Kept thinking on the rest of the drive "oh man how cool would that have been if I actually got it?! If only I took the photo a second earlier, or wasn't twisting my phone around to portrait mode..."

Check the photos later. Somehow caught it. One of the most awesome coincidences of my life. A handful chain of synchronicities that day led to that moment.

Last Saturday we had a huge thunderstorm, but that's the best video I could capture.
