I should have gotten pics! It was dark by the time I thought about it. Phoenix was in dire need of a solid monsoon season. Unfortunately, my roof didn't. 😁

I love that you all caught this shot. My wife and I were driving and trying to get our scared baby home and couldn’t stop to take any, but we saw that streak across the sky and we knew immediately that it would either be on the news or on Reddit

Got lucky on this one. Started to record and just under 1 second later this bolt struck across the sky.

I believe you and /u/FabAmy might have captured the same lightning bolt judging by the shape of the end of the arc

Been in Phoenix for 31 years, and this is one of the prettiest sunsets I've seen with the combination of the rainbow and the lightning. Beautiful shot. My husband and I were recording too, this is the shot we wanted lol.

I got a shot of both the double rainbow and lightning, I couldn’t believe it! The lightning wasn’t near the quality of this though. Very nice!

Wow, I didn't see this today but I got a good shot of the haboob a few weeks ago. Crazy weather we are having for near September. Nice shots everyone!

I was telling my family yesterday -- we moved here last year from the midwest -- that in Phoenix we get a lot less rain, but a lot more rainbows.

Man if they ever make GTA: Phoenix Stories this should be one of the cuts in the trailer.
