Lightning

by Robert Swanson
Last night, we were awakened by our weather radios squacking about thunderstorms.

Around 0030 (central time) we looked to the south, and the entire sky was lit up.

I used the Panasonic Lumix GX85 in video mode. It was running 50 frames per second, and many of the lightning flashes filled only one frame.

A video that contains this, and other captured stills.

Heavy Weather in South Dakota

This is a frame capture, cropped to square in GIMP.

Best to view on a black background.
