A few lighting shots of a severe t-storm coming in off Lake Erie into CLE

[Jarrod Barnett]

The second week of August we had quite an impressive, STRONG thunderstorm come in off of the lake. I happened to be in Cleveland that night for an evening out but I was without my camera. My buddy Ron who does photography as a side hobby happened to have his and was able to get these shots of the storm before it rolled over the city. It was INTENSE downtown to say the least.

I got his permission to share these with everyone on here as I thought they came out awesome!

These are all from the same night, 8/9/2011.

This one is cool, but it's a huge picture! An overlay of all the big lightning strikes that night.

Nice, the first one rocks, with the city the lightning and the water all in one.
