We had a great thunderstorm here in ulster, new york tonight. I got in the truck and shot some video since I don’t have the observatory built into the house yet. Most of the strikes are flashes and such, but it’s still a good video to watch if you like thunderstorms. I’d highly recommend turning down your volume, for some reason it came out really loud when I added it to youtube 😛

P.S. As a side note, do you have enough lighting protection on your home? This isn’t an advertisement, it’s just a really good idea to get some surge protection and other things in place. It may not save your electronics, but it could save you and your house! When I see heavy thunderstorms like this it always concerns me that power or cable lines may be struck and cause an electrical surge to wreak a lot of havoc on electronics or worst yet cause a fire in the wall of my house.
