The couple of days before Christmas were a lot of fun with some nice little storms developing and lasting for good time with lots of lightning, specially in the 24th here in southeastern state of São Paulo, in Brazil
Here are the pictures and video

Do you have a good road system that would allow you to chase if you desired?

It's a decent coverage: https://maps.google.com.br/maps?q=A...=araraq&hnear=Araraquara+-+São+Paulo&t=m&z=10

But the roads and terrain are not ideal for chasing. In my state we have what is called here of "Sea of Hills" and there are some big areas of vegetation covering the view, single lane roads with no place to stop, etc. I got my permission a couple of months back so I'm still not really confident with driving in these roads with heavy rain and winds. But it's definately on my plans
