[Storm & Convective Discussion - 16/07/15 onwards]

I think everyone should just wait and see we afterall have live models and radar to look forward to tracking tonight, no need for speculation.

The wonders of light its enlightening to see the why this happened It might also explain why some of the light to appear to travel in the sky to with it being brighter in the distance above the roof tops then brighter in the sky more locally.

I went through some of the videos I captured and took some stills using VLC now while going through the video at key points frame by frame I noticed this strange result.

 

Can anyone explain what this beam of light is? I wasn't able to confirm the type of lightning but two flashes did occur within a short period of each other.

 

I recorded this at 720p using my lumia at default settings.

Just got back home, the power was taken out for around 10 mins by close strikes.

 

And I felt the static from a close CG, which my lightning trigger managed to capture.

Whats that line in the photo, that beam of light also appeared very clear on a night picture I captured from a video I recorded on my phone on early Saturday from Friday nights storm.

I see someone else has also captured a line in the sky after a strike, what is this beam of bright light going diagonal in the sky?

 

I captured this on my phone and used VLC to capture frame by frame behind a window.
