Severe storms (some with strong rotation, but no tornadoes) erupted across eastern CO today. By night, the entire area had flooding & dangerous frequent cloud-ground lightning hitting VERY close while I carefully navigated between the storms.
Note: the closest strikes were bright & close enough that some show the "ghost effect", where the radiant main bolt temporarily burned the camera's sensor, leaving a 'ghost image' (similar to the burned-in image you get when looking at a bright source for a few moments, then looking away. Just a few of the closest strikes had this effect!
Enjoy!!

  • what is CG?

  • Short for cloud-to-ground lightning. Instead of shouting "Lightning, lightning!", we just say that instead.
