What amazing photos of the lightning. They terrify me, it's a strange feeling because I'm afraid of them and at the same time they fascinate me, they are so beautiful.
Great captures.

Thank you :) I was never a big fan of thunder, but my husband made it his hobby, and when we started chasing storms and seeing what the camera could capture, I was hooked. The only thing I don't like is driving when you're chasing a big storm. I need to be calm and focused on the road, but when you see a big cell approaching and he is beside me, screaming, go left, go right, it's just like, I want to see, not drive. :) But he is a great navigator, so I'm the one responsible for driving. I'm just glad this time we were at home, because I don't know what would have happened outside. It was like the end of the world.
Wow that sounds like a very exciting hobby.
As dangerous as it is, on the other hand, it's definitely exciting. You just have to be really careful how you drive when chasing a storm. You always have to drive to the side of the cell and never towards it. My husband has already learned this the hard way when lightning struck next to him because he didn't notice that another storm was also approaching from the other side. But it's a great hobby for the two of us :)
Do you get a lot of storms where you live? I would be afraid to be so close to one.
We're used to storms around here. Usually, it's just very hot during the day, but storms often show up in the evening. Lately, things have been tense. Last time, there were severe floods nearby, and behind our house, even trees collapsed. There's always something happening, but we're used to it by now. Is nice to see lightning, especially when the storm is very close :)
