A Menacing Lightning Bolt Shaped Like a T-Rex Prepares to Take a Bite Out of the Petrified Forest

The U.S. Department of the Interior posted an incredible photo of a menacing lighting bolt shaped like a very toothy Tyrannosaurs Rex dinosaur who was preparing to take a bite out of the aptly named Blue Mesa, situated high within Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park.

Have you ever seen lightning make such crazy shapes? This bolt looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex getting ready to chomp a formation at Blue Mesa in Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. Monsoons usher in summer lightning, so explore safely and be sure to check the weather. Photo by Hallie Larsen, National Park Service.
