As a British guy who moved to the US a couple of years ago I still find the much more intense thunderstorms to be a pretty fascinating display of nature.
Central Virginia has hosted some pretty impressive displays in the first half of August '07 and tonight (19th) I found myself videoing our most impressive yet. Watching this particular one through frame by frame in Quicktime I estimate this bolt hit just the other side of the building across from me, approximately 150ft. You can see my slack reaction times as I shake the camera and my reflex is to turn it off!
its at 0:15 the entire screen is WHITE!

I was lucky and so was my young brother despite being moderately electrocuted, blinded and deafened by lightning that hit too close. Both of us had no burns and our hearing and vision went back to normal. I am more fortunate than my young brother despite being too close to be struck by lightning twice in my life.

150 feet is nothing. my young brother and I were less than a foot away from getting hit by lightning 9 years ago and the same thing had happened to me almost 6 years ago. I had felt a moderate electric tingling on my feet at the same time I was briefly blinded and briefly lost hearing from the light and thunder of the lightning bolt. fortunately my young brother and I were not injured and barely survived getting hit too close by a lightning bolt.

well, if u didn't pause it, u obviously see blue, white, blue, white. so clearly there is blue present. but light is so fast that u probably paused at a different nano second than me.and no it wasnt full screen, and my PC's colors are perfect.

YOU must be oblivious...
1)Maybe he had it in full screen?
2)Fix your computers colors...its looks white on mine...and this one was bought brand new less than a week ago.

If you pause it in between about 13 to 14 seconds it looks like its mid day
