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.

Incredibly Amazing!!
I've visited this fascinating city twice! Awesome photo! Hope there were no injuries caused by the lightning.
It is fascinating isn't it? I've lived there my entire life and never, never, never do I tire of it!
Imagine how far Christopher Lloyd could send you into the future with eight (or nine) times 1.21 gigawatts!
Great photo, congrats to the photographer.
even the raindrops on the window add to the shot overall.
Yea, photographer dream!
Wow, now ain't that beautiful. Nature is amazing, i wish i could see cool storms like this every now and then. Storms are one of my fav things to watch, but they don't last for more then 3 min here and they tend to be weak. Though you can't get me to go out in one since there was the one time when i was lil and i almost got hit by a bolt, i must say i was probably one of the most suprissed kids ever when i saw the tree a few feet behind me fly apart.
Incredibly Amazing!
A 1ce in a lifetime shot!
A 1ce in a lifetime shot!
'Loo' closer..there are 10 bolts. One is faint and 2nd from right, still counts. There's also another striking in a neighborhood away from the bridge. And if you think it's a time lapse, then explain the single set of raindrops..not a blur like the bridge cars. Amazingly beautiful either way.
That is an AWESOME picture!! Excellent shot... a once in a lifetime!
Wow!! It is a once in a lifetime shot .... right place, right time.
Beautiful picture!
Obama's fault!
Awesome view from his apartment!
Awesome shot of a lifetime!
Awesome pic best of seen in awhile.
That is wild!!! i counted 9 hits. i use to look out of my window when i stayed at the army hosp . back in the late 60s, i was there for 3 months. And i allways thougt the bridge wasa beautiful thing.
FAIL, there are 9 lightning bolts in that photo.
Interesting.
UMMM,I think the ninth bolt isn't actually hitting the bridge sooooooooo,
Awesome image-can't people just appreciate the image without all the analyzing and religious talk. Obviously everyone is different in their opinions, and I know we are a country of free speech, but at times the comments back and forth start to take away from the simple beauty of what someone captured.
Just a thought, being a recreational photographer, why not cut a hole in a gallon size plastic bag and fit the bag over the camera while shooting to keep it dry? I've done that for water and for sand-works great.
Global warming!
It's all Bush's fault!
well i guess most of the drivers on that bridge was calling it the poop deck lol
Spectacular !!! and Kudos to photographer
