“This fantastic footage of a lightning storm was filmed at 9,000 frames a second and then played back real slow.”

That’s amazing footage, especially considering it all happened within 1/100th of a second! You’d never image so much happened in that time…
But I can’t help but think of someone being really bad at Missile Command when I watch the start.
Is that a crack in time and space?
Found this really cool as I’ve just experienced the biggest electrical thunder storm of my life in Pompei, Italy last week!!
No wonder people used to believe in God.
LadyClaire has been incredibly productive these last few weeks. What a lot of contributions! I hope she is adequately rewarded with some DVB stuff.
It has all been quite fascinating, too, especially pretty things like this lightning (which btw is just amazing) and the space photos.
Thank you Claire for taking the time, and thank you Abeo and Phillis for choosing wisely.
I guess this kinda blows the old saying Lighting never strikes the same place twice out of the water, I counted 15 then I think
wow…
a dozen or so lightning bolts travel over the same path over and over and over…
I never would have imagined that this happens!
Amazing what technology can reveal to us.
Click on the smaller pic for a video on a rolling stormfront. It appeared yesterday in Helsinki. Looks pretty cool.

All i can really say is …. wow ; lol
