#1 and #7 are my favorites. As for C&C:

A couple of mine I recently shot. I set the focus to infinity (basically just focused on the lights way off in the distance, then turned AF off), ran a F/10 or F/11 setting, and set the Shutter speed to 20 seconds. Realize, though, that it was really dark, and I could run a 20 second time without risking over exposure from the lights. I think they came out pretty well (Although as of this post I'm waiting for some comments myself), so I hope that can help you out a bit. During daytime, you may want a much lower time. If you can get ahead of the storm, do so, and take a few images of the sky with various settings to see which will give you the best balance of light vs time.
I shot with a Nikon D60 and an AF-S Nikkor 18-55 1:3.5-5.6 G Lense.
