If you couldn't sleep last night, it may have been due to flashing lights and thunder.

The Northern Virginia area, particularly Alexandria, experienced a lightning storm around midnight. It was a brilliant show of mother nature's fury. The lightning seemed endless and continued the show for about two hours.

Enjoy the photos and video taken by Michael Lanfear.
