    Found a spot for Illuminations and hoped it would go before the storm arrived. Lightning and thunder were closeby. The show was delayed. I looked at the radar and decided to walk quickly toward the bus. The show did start about the time I reached Spaceship Earth. I did make it to the bus an back to the resort before any rain, but there was a lot of lightning.
