(Sigh) British Weather

Nothing like a good thunderstorm

We had a cracker of a thunderstorm last year in August. I just had to go out in the middle of it armed with camcorder. My son and his friend came too. The lightning was spectacular. One shot I took of the lightning, if you play it back on the video player frame by frame you see the lightning coming straight down, then it fades and you can see the trail of smoke it left. Within a split second another bolt of lightning goes down the trail of smoke so lightning does strike twice in the same place. We followed that storm in the car for several miles. When I was driving my son was operating the camcorder. Awesome. That storm lasted nearly 4 hours.
