Lightning Show

in #nature5 years ago

There was a lightning storm in the UK some nights ago.

I was up late and had no idea it was coming, so it took me a while to realize what were all the flashes going on outside in the middle of the night.

When I realized the lightning wasn't just a one off, I stayed in the garden to enjoy the show. And try to grab a few videos.

I managed to get a few videos, by just leaving my phone recording and hoping one would show up.

I did get one video that I now love.

Here are some stills from that video:

And a gif of the video slowed down

There were many more like that across the sky where I was. It was truly majestic.

Wow that looks pretty awesome. Almost sorry that I wasn't in UK to see them live

Gorgeous! It's been a while since we've had a good storm here in Australia. I love lightning as a self-confessed ceraunophile (lover of storms). I even have an illustration of lightning that I did as my cover photo. The gif is too cool!

it was Wednesday night / Thursday AM, .. around 1amish, …. haven't seen or heard a storm like that in quite a while, .. and even then it might have been in a different country, .. loved it.

It was magical. Loved your videos on Twitter.

There’s another storm due tonight.. any sign of it where you are?

I saw lightning really far away, but only twice, earlier around 5 or 6pm. Nothing else so far, and not sure I can stay up to wait and see this time!

How about over there??

Ah cool. Yeah I’m about to hit the sack.

It’s certainly cooling down quickly and the wind is picking up - so
I’m hoping to be woken up again around 4am. If so I’ve got my GoPro at the ready this time!
