    Photographer Terry Ketron in Rio Rico shared this wonderful time lapse of lighting:  June 25, 2017 delivered a thunderstorm to the Tumacacori Mountains that had an average of one lightning strike every 32 seconds. I recorded for 24 minutes then edited out about 92% of the dead spaces to end up w/ two minutes of lightning laced video w/ fiery daggers of electricity splitting the sky into momentary parts every 1 or 2 seconds.
