This bolt got my attention. The ones in the background are probably 4 - 5 miles away, but the foreground bolt was less than a mile away.

Gorgeous. We had quite the storm last night but it was right overhead. Be careful, 4-5 miles isn't that far away and a mile is a bit close!!

Excellent shot, Sam! Wouldn't want them to strike much closer than that.
