Lightning Strike 20 Meters Away: Brisbane 21/02/2011

After two consecutive days with temps hovering in the mid 30's, Brisbane copped some nice afternoon and evening storms (21/02/2011).

This afternoon's storm's bark was worse than its bite...but it fortunately cooled down the 35°C day,

It wasn't until this evening's one that started to get interesting!!!

The video makes it look further than it was, but it was literally 20 meters away!!!!
- I assume it stuck a tree in a neighbouring property.

Filmed in the Suburb of Hawthorne, Brisbane, Australia.
Filmed on Apple iPhone 4, and edited in iMovie for iMac.
