Violent storm off Sardinia



Quote:
Stefano Garau captured this stunning photograph of webs of lightning lighting up the sky during a violent storm off the island of Sardinia. Stefano took the electric photograph from the balcony of his house.
The only time I have ever seen lightning illuminate the interior of a cloud, as above, was in Scottsbluff, NE.
The storm lasted approximately an hour from about 9pm and was probably one of the most violent but spectacular meteorological sights I have ever seen.
If you've experienced damage under those circumstances, quite understandably, you wil no doubt have a very different view on the matter.

Put me out of my misery, please! A brief explanation would be very welcome.

Do not attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once.

Dani? Sundae?

I'm fond of Wyoming and I've experienced one or two of the apparently resident thunderstorms, so I thought I'd add this.



Lightning strikes north of Gillette, Wyoming.
