Peninsula Daily News photographer Keith Thorpe captured these bolts of lightning east of Port Angeles Harbor around midnight Saturday.
This photo image was made above the Red Lion Hotel in Port Angeles looking east. The reddish light on the water is the pier at the old Rayonier Inc. pulp mill site.
But the thunder and lightning show appears to be over, with the North Olympic Peninsula swings into a period of precipitation today without Mother Nature’s rumbling.
Here’s the official National Weather Service forecast, issued for 9 a.m.:
