Lightning Strikes

Posted on 11/11/2014 by fluidicthought

A bolt of positive lightning may carry an electric current of 300 kA and the potential at the top of the cloud may exceed a billion volts. (Ref Wikipedia)

These pictures were taken from Woody Point, Queensland, Australia.

 

Deadly fingers burning white
Booming thunder
Startled fright

    I’m not going anywhere near the top of one of those clouds, unless I’m well grounded! 🙂
