From Brandon McGahee and Dana Barker:
"Here's a cloud-to-ground lightning picture taken Monday night, July 5th, just before 11 PM in the Upatoi community in eastern Muscogee County, just east of Columbus. We were approximately 10-15 miles west of the thunderstorm and were on U.S. 80 looking east when the picture was taken.
