So I know there are other important things going on in the world, like the fact that Barack Obama just gave his acceptance speech last night, and also, the fact that John McCain has chosen a woman from Alaska that no one has ever heard of before to be his running mate ... but put all those political questions you're mulling over on hold and check out this storm we had last night.

It's still monsoon season in Arizona, and last night Mother Nature reminded us just exactly what that means. Several thunderstorms merged into a single superstorm over the Phoenix metro area and gave locals an incredible light show.

Have you ever seen anything like this in your life?

It's like God was having a disco party or something...

This year, Arizona State University (in Tempe, Ariz., just south of Phoenix) erected what it calls a "bubble dome" on campus for the football team to practice in. The 103,500-square-foot, climate-controlled facility was just completed this month and cost a total $8.4 million to install.

Well guess what. The bubble was not built to withstand 70-100 mph winds. And last night, it deflated.

It used to look like this.

Now it looks like this.

Ready? All together now...

HA!
