Shift 3 Lightning

I just kept aiming my little $10 .1 megapixel Shift 3 mini digital camera at the thunderstorm until I got something. Only twice did the delayed reaction of the shutter on the toy camera fire at the same time as the lightning struck, but this was the best of the two times it did. I was standing in the relative comfort of my covered front porch and holding my hand with camera attached out from under the edge of the roof into the rain and aiming in an upwardly direction. I remember this streak - it was a lot longer, but I just caught part of it.
