On our way to Twin Lakes, we popped up to the summit of Mt. Margaret and ate lunch. While we were relaxing and enjoying the view, thunder clouds darkened. I had just taken this photo of the blasted trees on the summit of Mt. Margaret with rain in the distance when we were jolted by a deafening clap of thunder and a finger of lightning stabbed down to a hillside near us. A huge flame consumed a tree and then smoldered. We hurriedly put on our packs and retreated downhill. When we reached a point of relative safety we found we had cell phone coverage so my friend Wilbur reported the lightning strike.

Near the Black Mesa State Park we had a great view of a spectaculair thunderstorm with a nice updraft situated at the Oklahoma - New Mexico border.

Many CG (Cloud-Ground) lightning strikes occured with this storm.

This backlit rain was in the perfect setting for producing the greatest natural contrast.

Heute war ein schönes Gewitter bei uns, leider mit zu viel Regen. Fotografieren war da nicht mehr möglich :-(

Aber ich hab da noch was im Archiv gefunden….

I always imagine the worst when anything goes wrong. And it makes me sick to my stomach.

This is Allie.

Also, thank you to Dandelion Wish for the lovely testimonial. It came right when I needed it and cheered me up considerably. You're lovely.

A storm to the west that was obscuring the light began to die just before sunset. The remaining storm (the one above) was then lit up in one of the more vivid displays I've ever seen. May 25th, 2018. West of Elk City, Oklahoma.

Last night saw the most dramatic thunderstorm to hit the UK in recent years. 15,000 lightning strikes were recorded in 4 hours.

Luckily, they were of the cloud-to-cloud variety.

This is me standing in my porch around 1am. I had the sound turned down low on the camera, but if you turn yours up, you can hear the constant rumbling of thunder.

this storm cloud was peaking at around 43,000 feet....steered well clear of this nasty fellow..

I spent the afternoon trying to get into good positions to photograph the thunderstorms that swept across the area today!

On my 3rd time out I was trying to catch lightning with my DSLR but noticed something in the distance. I quickly realised it was a shelf cloud. It was huge and it was moving extremely fast. I photographed with my Samsung Galaxy S5 mobinle phone. As it got close the wind suddenly went crazy and blew over my camera. Then it was the heaviest rain I've seen in a very long time and the thunder and lightning went biblical. Being perched on a hillside and with a spine full of metalwork, I felt a bit nervous staying up there so I went back home to where I could get some shelter. It's safe to say that today is the wettest I've been for about 2 years (last time it was due to photographing lightning!)

I have never seen anything like this before in my life; it was absolutely awesome!
