Just wondering whether anyone here is into storm chasing and has any pics or vids.
Also does anyone have a video of the corragated iron hitting the Lismore Zone Substation on Friday 26/10/'07 Cheers

Was right behind a tree dang it, still looks ok with the sky lit up and all. I like this one, amazing how it seems that the lightning just starts from nowhere. Nice one through the trees. Out the front of my house, its similar to one I already had, but thought Id post this anyway. I had to edit this alot, as the tree blocked pretty much the whole thing, but as you can see, it was a little close, lol. It wasnt raining at the time really, so I was just standing out in the yard snapping photos, lol.
