#89: astraphobia

9/6/2015

she recoiled strongly
even when lightning bugs sparked
astraphobia

I was looking for amazing lightning images, and this particularly dramatic photo presented itself, the lightning dwarfed by the wild and unusually colorful lenticular cloud mass... I just said "wow!" outloud.

Search on "lenticular clouds." I think they are responsible for any number of UFO sitings, and remind me of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

DEFINITION of this 5-syllable noun:

Psychiatry. an abnormal fear of thunder and lightning.
