Last night, we had a rather large storm that decided to cross over. I decided to take some video, and caught a few strikes, including a very close one abot 20m from my house. Crappy quality, since it was pulled from video, but you get the idea.

Looks fairly overcast today ..... (Have a look at the window of the car, its a hint :D)

Ive just recently had a operation on my nose, so I didnt really feel like pulling out my green module that night. Our power went out about 3 times, and we had a few brown-outs aswell, so I didnt really want to risk the laser.

That strike in the 2nd picture, actually TURNED OFF my laptop!

I think it was due to the huge EMP created by the lightning, just wiped it out. I am using it to make this post, so it still works fine, but its kinda weird .

Lightning struck within 500 feet of my house when I was home alone last year... knocked two clocks, a painting, and a shelf off the walls. It also killed my modem, and I needed to get a new one. So much for surge protection. My PC wasn't even on either.

Wow, very nice shots! Yeah actually about 4 months ago there was the most insane thunderstorm I have ever seen. Literally for about 5 hours there was a lightening strike every 3-4 seconds!

lightning is fun!
i used to love watching the storms in walla walla. well they weren't there, but it was so flat we could see them just fine when they were south of us (pendleton?)
huge effing chains that went for miles across the sky...
i miss that....


best i got in vancouver was a decent storm a while back, lightning hit what seemed like a couple miles in front of me, exactly where i was staring. blinded me and sounded like a bomb going off :D
oh and our gutters were overflowing it was raining so hard

i love bad weather you could say.

but screw hail
