July 12, 2010 lighting

I took a couple hundred storm photos this night and found that the photo editor (Picasa, yeah . . . big spender) had a time lapse feature.

I didn't get many straight bolts on the storm but a lot of cloud to ground.  When running thought the photos in a strip type line, I noticed a lot of lightning that wouldn't stand out alone in a pic, but streamed together was interesting.

July 12th, 2010 later that day

Walked out of school and found another storm down south.

I put this on KAKE.com attempting to get some publicity for the website.

This storm was slowly dying and generating a lot of lightning.  I stayed out watching the storm for about 45 minutes trying a couple of different techniques to capture.

There were continuous cloud to cloud lightning but only a few cloud to ground.

Didn't have any issues other than lots of bugs.

July 12th, 2010 mid afternoon

Left work and luckily had the camera with me.

On the left side I thought we might have a wall cloud, ultimately it didn't rotate or do much.  NOAA did refer to this as having a pseudo-cold front.  Notice the line of clouds just off the horizon right of center.

There was a lot of rain out to the northwest but otherwise not too much going on.

July 11, 2010 and all is quiet

Some storms did move south of the border.  Other than that, not much.

Manmade Thunder and Lightning

Because nature is only providing rain . . .

Late Forth show due to rain

Small front went through this morning with additional possibilities this afternoon.

060810 Not much of anything

Usually I've had about ten good chases by now.  Not this year.  A cold front promised to stir up the atmosphere a little, and to a point did.  To a very small point.
