2004 Lightning Videos

I've added a short clip of lightning from the north side of a tornadic storm that occurred the evening of May 22, 2004 and continued into the night.

Ah...yes, the night of the Hallam, NE event. I remember that night. In fact after everyone crashed at the Victorian Inn in Beautrice, I took the WeatherBus (minivan) out to the east-southeast part of town and took a few shots of the last of the storms as they moved off:

Sam, was that second one real time, or was it edited? If that was real time that thing was sure active.

Looks good.

It looks real time to me...and it was JUST THAT ACTIVE!!!

I'll see if Jeff Gammons has his video from in front of the hotel online....super good spider lightning that night.
 
I once watched a storm that literally had a lightning strike every second. These strikes were very photogenic and big. Mostly cloud to ground/ ground to cloud strikes. I was very young at the time and I have never seen a storm that active again. Great video Sam.
