Lightening Storm

[ben306]

At about 7.30-8.00pm the darkest clouds ever moved in over Toronto

Then within minutes the best light show I have ever seen kicked in. It was still going on when I went to bed at 11.30.

The power of Mother Nature is awesome.

Found it hard work getting photos but these are the better ones.

Those look miles better mat, i suppose mainly due to them being closer than the last one you took pictures off. I take it ThunderStorms are quite a regular occurance over there?

Through the summer we have been getting storms about once a week, the heat and humity build until you get an out break, then probably every 3 weeks you get a proper big storm like this one, but this lasted alot longer. Usually its only an hour or so but this was an all nighter
