Storm structure and lightning – chase yesterday

· by Jimmy Deguara

Sydney, NSW Lightning

Michael,

It was a great chase day given we covered a range of storm situations and it wasn’t such a long chase. We got anything from storm structure to lightning at night time. There was one cannon thunder! I didn’t get the bolt due to over exposure though Nick definitely got it dead centre on camera!
