Lightning from the massive storm passing over the city.... quite mesmerizing. This was the last in a series of storms that hit Brisbane (Sunday evening storm destroyed a suburb, Thursday AM was just a violent squalling storm and this was the result of at least 3 major storm cells meeting over the CBD after they had passed through the suburbs on Thursday PM) - you can see the city of Brisbane looking quite small underneath it. This was taken from the 3rd level balcony of the Regatta Hotel

  • the video is not sped up - you can see the cars going by at normal speed, this really happened!

  • What kind of camera did you use for this.Its amazing.

  • just a regular digi camera at the spur of the moment!

  • very nice 5 stars! i would like to know was there any thunder because it sounded like there was none!

  • there wasn't too much but you couldn't hear it well either... this is taken about 5-6km's from where it was happening

  • Great Lightning footage guys! Just one thing....You really need to get yourself a Tripod. Good capture though anyway.

  • Was an adlib clip my mate caught on his digital camera while at work.... no time for tripods!!
