Living on the West Coast, the opportunity for lightning and thunderstorms do not happen often. So, of course, I jump at the chance for any opportunity to capture rare electrical storms that hit unexpectedly. The first image in this Gallery is (in my opinion), fine art created by Mother Nature. I am so blessed to have captured such a rare shot in which I consider to be "true weather art"!
"Ultimate Strike". A rare electrical storm passes through the South Bay on 8/15/08.
As I was awoken by rumbling thunder on the night of August 15th, 2008, I jumped at the chance to possibly capture a rare electrical storm that hit unexpectedly. As three separate thunderstorms collided, hundreds of jagged bolts struck the skies over the ocean before me with no rain nor wind. A perfect recipe for amazing shots and a once in a lifetime adventure for me in my own backyard. The NWS sensors detected 445 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes from midnight to 3 A.M. thoughtout Los Angeles County that morning.
