The Mail Online reported on Friday that an incredible eight bolts struck the Bay Bridge in San Francisco last night which was captured in this incredible shot by photographer Phil McGrew, who took the photo through the rain-soaked window of his apartment.
Mr McGrew, 49, was shocked at the striking image which shows the split-second moment of electric forks hitting the span of the bridge.

look at the blur of headlights on the roadway. time-lapse photo, NOT a split second capture of eight strikes. does look cool as hell though!
amazingly beautiful...
I would think that a complete inspection of the Bridge will be done to check for any damage or structural Problems. Unless Caltrans is too low on cash or their Union Contract will not allow this
Don't need it, the bridge gets hit all the time, lighting rods connected to grounding cables get the job done.
wow wonderful pic glad i wasent there, looks like storms here in belize, placencia beach house
Massive earthquakes and tsunamis, tidal waves, blizzards and rain storms and, then, there's lightening. Such an electrigying event that mankind, fortunately, has failed to duplicate. It's a damn beautiful picture, though, and like others, I counted nine strikes! One would have been super cool, especially with all of the bridge lights. I'd rather stare at this picture for hours and hours than to look at one more "sighting" of Sarah Palin (oops! my bad!). Seriously, it's a dynamite flick, one that one can only not know when the opportunity for such a shot will appear. It's sort of hard to be ready for something like this instance. Great job in sharing with humanity the powers of nature!!!!!
Great shot, but I count 9 bolts hitting the bridge!
amazingly beautiful...
Is it me or are there actually nine?
Insane Photo! I count 9 bolts though.
Can you say desktop background....may survive most of the backgrounds I have. This is an amazing shot, grats P. McGrew!
Amazing shot for sure. But the comments of "God putting us in our place" are ridiculous. Give it a rest and just enjoy a fantastic shot.
Awesome!!!
great shot, wish we could get more.
Behold, the power of mighty Zeus!
Insane Photo! I count 9 bolts
great shot, wish we could get more.
Just think what the view looks like on a nice day!!!!
Cool pic. I was wondering if there are any going from the ground to the sky? I heard they can sometimes travel across the ground & then go back up, not sure how. I think this pic also deserves an "Awesome".
Just imagine this shot on a nice day........
This became my new desktop background.
The last tower on the left of the picture has two hits. The faint strike after that is not on the bridge. If my memory is right the bridge dog legs to the right just after that tower. 8 strikes is correct, but who really cares this is a wonderful picture.
This became my new desktop background.
Incredibly Amazing!!
I count 9 bolts- awesome picture !!!
