Summer in the South features lots of glorious late-afternoon storms (less glorious: the humidity before and the sweating that comes with it). North Carolina's been pelted with lots of storms this summer, with may of them containing high-powered lightning.
Monday night was a great example, with a massive lightning storm sweeping through Charlotte and the southeast part of North Carolina. Lots of folks in the surrounding area lost power (shoutout to my brother-in-law/Uncle Jay for buying a generator and using it to charge his iPhone with it) but in downtown Charlotte there was some WILD action.
Specifically, a bunch of lightning that appeared to strike in the middle of the Carolina Panthers' Bank of America Stadium.
