I'm in Phoenix and I've been enjoying the hell out of the light shows we've been getting. Sorry to hear that your's didn't go so well. :P

I don't have a fancy camera setup, but I did manage to capture a few photos of some lightning.

Note: They're called 'accidental' because I didn't have a very good method of capturing them. I basically sat there pulling the shutter switch as fast as it would take pictures. Out of 61 pictures I got 57 black and 4 with lightning.
