Storms in the morning, storms in the evening

I was actually shocked this morning - no pun intended - to witness lightning in the western sky as I prepared to venture off to work.  I strove mightily to get there before the rain to no avail, but seeing CG's before full daylight will definitely get the chaser's blood pumping. 
Knowing there was a chance of storms also this afternoon kept drawing my attention to the radar display, but as of 5:00 pm or so I didn't see much chance of chasing anything worthy during daylight hours.  However I was pleasantly surprised to have a line come through as dusk fell, and I located myself (black "X") in a weak spot in the line to observe its passage:

I witnessed lots of lightning but didn't catch any on video as I finally had emptied the batteries of all remaining charge.  My inexpensive handheld weather radio also bit the dust as the antenna broke after a couple of years of keeping it together with luck and an overly large screw.  But, that's what early season local intercepts are for:  working out the kinks from several months of chasing inactivity before the real stuff begins in earnest.
