I received a, ummm, "stern talking to" from my wife when I got caught in a thunderstorm. The storm had maybe 2% of the lightning that yours did (and most of it seemed to be cloud to cloud), and little to no wind, though I was pedaling through several inches of standing water at points during my ride home.

It was a lot of fun, but it was a little dangerous, mainly because the reduced visibility increased the risk of being hit by a car. I guess I won't be doing that again. At least, not when/where my wife can find out about it.
