I'd have expected a good display to make the papers but I haven't seen anything 
so I don't know if they were ever any more dense than that.  I was lucky to 
have good light otherwise I might not have even noticed it.

We don't get anything approaching supercells around these parts so I may have 
been lucky to see anything at all.  Even thunderstorms over the city are rare.
