Read the passage.
From the mountain's summit, we could see the storm
clouds building in the distance, boiling upward, light
gray at first, then blanketing the distant sky in a cloak of
ominous darkness. The first lightning strike bolted from
the clouds to the ground in a blue flash, followed by the
thunder's reverberating reply.
