Currency trader Phil McGrew shot this incredible photograph,
which shows an amazing eight lightning bolts striking the San Francisco Bay Bridge at once.
(Well, almost at once -- McGrew says the exposure on his photo was 20 seconds long).
McGrew took the photo through the rain-spattered windows of his apartment, which overlooks the Bay Bridge.
"I wasn't brave enough to go outside, so I just set up my camera next to the window and watched."
