Multicell in Greece! (time lapse videos + photos)

7 & 8 June 2008, Thessaloniki - Macedonia, Greece. A wonderful, but severe thunderstorm stroke whole Northern Greece and provoked electricity cuts, local floods, damages to seeds by hail and tree-falls. The lightning frequency was very high and it reached even 324 strikes/minute!!! 18 hours later the multicell had reached Constantinopoles, in Turkey, where it fianally disolved!
Next day a thunderstorm appeared NorthWest of Thessaloniki again, but it was no way as spectacular as the previous one.

PS Notice the loud thunder at 1:47!

Excellent catches of storms in your area friend! Cumulonimbus these giants and convective towers are amazing and very beautiful, I see that in your country you have many days of storm, something that does not happen here since 2 weeks, time is not for nothing warm and therefore do not develop cells stormy :(.

The still images of lightning are great, there is even a glimmer that you download very close to his area which causes a great thunder!

Fantastic 5 stars. greetings.
