Cfa Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wow just had a close CG strike just outside my window, probably within a few hundred feet. Saw lightning and heard thunder at the exact same time. Pouring now, but the best part of the storm looks like it’ll miss me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduardo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Some of the most vivid, "dancing" CTG lightning strikes I've seen aside from the light show I saw when I was in Havana last summer.
