San Francisco photographer captures incredible Bay Bridge electrical storm photo

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 oppertunity to make the picture, but he says he made it from inside the window of his appartment becuase he didn't want to get his camera wet.
