San Francisco photographer Phil McGrew says he has been trying to make a picture like this since he moved there two years ago. Thursday's violent storm finally allowed McGrew the opportunity to make the picture, but he says he made it from inside the window of his apartment because he didn't want to get his camera wet.
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.

I can't help but think of Rachel Maddow's "big things" spot when I look at these images of the new Bay Bridge. This is pretty darned big.
Ironworkers will climb a 35-degree slope on the 1060-foot catwalks to install four suspension cables in 2012, according to a San Francisco Chronicle story. The bridge has been under construction since 2002 with an estimated price tag of $6.3 billion and will have the world's tallest self-anchored suspension (SAS) tower once completed.

Construction crews have erected twelve foot wide catwalks that connect to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge self-anchored suspension span's tower and crews will begin to lay the nearly one mile of main cable beginning in early 2012. The bridge has been under construction since 2002 with an estimated price tag of $6.3 billion and will have the world's tallest self-anchored suspension (SAS) tower once completed.
