Those from last night?

I wish. No - the bottom one's a few years old, the top ones from a few months ago. They're both taken in Alabama, I think.

They might not be, but they certainly look like they were - I was in a car on my way home from work for the worst of the storm last night, and that looks a lot like some of the lightning I saw.

There was some serious heat lightning going on here, but the sky was nowhere that color.

Very nice catches.
