Nanaimo - Fireworks and thunder and lightning at the same time! JULY 25, 2009

Well, this never happens. We had fireworks last night in the Nanaimo Harbour, part of our bathtub weekend celebration. And at the same time the fireworks were going off, we had an amazing thunder and lightning show over the Georgia Strait. My camera is not that great. But you can see some pretty good flashes and fork lightning behind the fireworks. Also, to see the still pictures of this incredible night, go here: http://nanaimo-pictures-photos.blogspot.com/2009/07/nanaimo-fireworks-with-th...

did nanaimo lose power in areas?

[nanaimom2008]

No, we did not lose power at all. Not even a flicker! The lightning appeared to be coming down across the Georgia Strait and over on the mainland and on Bowen Island etc.. I don't remember even hearing any thunder. But the lightning show was really bright!

Hi, guys. i could had zoomed in on the fireworks more. But I wanted to try to capture the lightning as well. I thought the lightning show was even better than the fireworks! :)

That night was just amazing, there was no thunder at all, just flashes (like that scene in War of the Worlds, ahah) me and my freind sat a gyro park watching both, we sat watching the lightning for about 1 hour before the works even started.
