31 Dec 2009, New Year's Eve It was a very hot day almost 40deg c! The weather changed abt 8.20pm with a storm blewing...
Then the lightning started... quite a spectacular display.. have edited this clip so won't bore you with all the smaller lightning strikes...lol.
At about 9.18pm the storm reached us... strong winds, rain and hail. This only lasted less than 8mins and the lightning storm passed us but kept on for another 35mins....
Hope you had a great year and a better one in 2010!

  • i also noticed the lightning was constantly hitting the same spot at times

  • @backyardstorms103

    yes, it does look like they were hitting same spot - video was taken from a vast distance... storm cloud seem to be stationary... was unable to get some of the closer lightning or miss them as they happened.. it was a spectacular display, I must add....

see all

  • @JamesJimmaHarding- my thoughts PRECISELY !! We almost NEVER get Thunderstorms in Tassie, it completely sucks. growl growl lol

  • That was impressive, especially when you consider how rare thunderstorms and hot days are in Tassie!

  • @backyardstorms103 thanks for watching...

    read my reply below written 6months ago...

  • @DennisOnshaw its either ball lightning or a fireworks thing. but i do believe in ufos

  • @Rokket hihi, found out what that 'flare' is ... parashooters! They carry flares when doing night 'drops'!

  • oh sounds like you were under the whole storm?

  • I wish I wasn't working for the main show... I only caught the tail end of it but the strikes were still coming about about 1 every 10 seconds. Looks like you had a great view!

  • Wow, lightning put the fireworks to shame! I would have loved to be there!
