Severe storms knocked power to hundreds of thousands in eastern US
GIANT PALM TREE SPRITE: Last night in Texas, a flurry of red sprites exploded from the top of a powerful thunderstorm. One of the the red forms was so tall and bright, it was witnessed by naked-eye observers 200 miles away in Oklahoma. “My boys and I saw it with our unaided eyes,” marvels Paul Smith, who photographed the event from the shores of Lake Thunderbird, OK. This may be the first time that a sprite’s reflection has been captured in water:
