Ah, thanks for the good info, Tom!

At 2000 June 15 - Thursday 20:09, Tom Trottier <TomATrottier@xxxxxxxx>
spoke about *Re: [OM] Lightining...* saying

    A single lightning flash can be comprised of several return strokes.
    The average number of return strokes in a lightning flash is 3 or 4,
    each stroke typically separated by 40 to 80 milliseconds.
...
    The duration of the whole flash of lightning is usually
    one-half second.

So it looks like the mechanical shutter misses the first stroke, but could easily pick up return strokes.
