25th of July 2010 Night time thunderstorm, Hämeenlinna, Finland

At about 2 a.m. on 25th of July 2010 a quick but powerful thunderstorm woke me up from the distance. This vid hasn't been modified much, so it was basically over in about 10 minutes.

As i was half asleep i forgot the AF on, which is notoriusly poor in the dark, but you'll get the idea of the constant lightning... At 1:10 i almost had to change my undies :D And as the storm had almost passed, one of the last bolts left us in the semi-dark for about 15 minutes after cutting off the power.

Today (27th of July) i learned, that the blackout concerned almost all of the greater western district of our city, leaving about 20000 people without power for that about 10-15 minutes.
