We get thunderstorms quite regularly here, and although this wasn't a system that was strong enough to spawn tornadoes, dump loads of hail, or have frightening winds (at least around us -- perhaps it was worse in other parts of the city?) one thing it did have was lightning. An amazing amount of lightning.
After the storm passed us to the east I went out onto the deck and shot some video. You can hear a few raindrops falling and a bit of thunder, but I'm glad that most of the lightning was in the clouds and wasn't producing thunder (or was it?) -- it would have been deafening!
If you live someplace where thunderstorms aren't too common, I hope you understand that sometimes they can put on quite a show!
For some of my older posts about storms, take a look here, or maybe here for my favorite storm photos.

Wow, that's quite a thunderstorm!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a little bit like that south of here, but not that close.
That's a lot of thunder! We seldom get thunder here and certainly nothing like your show. Amazing! Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteQuite a dramatic show that is, cool!!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see that. We get lightning so rarely that it's an event when it happens!
ReplyDeleteWow, Alan. Awesome!
