Storm flashback β‘οΈ Powerline trail
This was way too close β a direct hit just down the powerline easement from me. You can see how it lit up the whole tower.
Suffice to say I quickly packed up and moved to the safety of my car after this shot!
Always respect the storm β no photo is worth the risk. I was under a shelter looking west and seeing much more distant lightning until this happened.
Have you ever seen lightning hit this close?
