I showed some mammatus early last year after another big storm. Same kind of shot but different day. The lighting was better that time.
There's a second thunderstorm raging at the moment with very impressive lightning (but not very often). It's striking only about 1km away by my counting-of-seconds, almost directly overhead. I went out and watched it until I got a hailstone on the nose. Thunderstorms over this city are rare, two on the same day is unheard of. And we're two weeks into summer! Now I'd better go and start rolling my pasta. Cheers, Dave > On Dec 13, 2015, at 3:28 PM, ann sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > > yes - those are always so ominous...
