{ "prompt": "An intense electrical storm rages over a modern city skyline at night. Multiple lightning bolts strike simultaneously, illuminating the towering skyscrapers in brilliant white flashes. Thunder clouds roil and churn overhead while constant lightning creates a strobe effect. Rain pours in heavy sheets, visible in the glow of city lights. The camera captures the drama from across a river as lightning reflects in the water. Lightning branches across the sky in intricate patterns. Atmosphere: dramatic, powerful, electrifying urban storm." }
