Brisbane Lightening Storm - 20 Nov 2008

For the third evening in a row, Brisbane, Australia experienced extreme thunderstorms.

Here's a few minutes of the spectacular non-stop lightening show that lasted about half an hour as the storm headed north away from us.

Earlier that afternoon, hail the size of golf balls fell in the CBD while I was driving. Very scary, you couldn't see 5m in front of the car. Saw three cars within 3kms that had been abandoned because the trees had snapped under the winds and crashed onto the car roofs/bonnets. Never seen anything like it.

Was the storm passed? Don't hear any thunder. But what amazing lighting you capture in the skies: five stars!

Yes the storm had passed over, and it was incredibly eerie because there was no thunder at all, just silent lightening going crazy overhead. Cheers for the comment :)
