Apache Lake 7/27/13 after some Thurs, Fri afternoon storms (lots of thunder but only a few visible day time lightning strikes) Saturday night, sitting at a camp fire enjoying a cigar & beers then this rolled over the mountains, only got a few good ones before it stopped producing.

Nice dramatic set Paul!

Love it!

nice! clouds look super sweet too

very very cool!

Thanks guys! I think the monsoon this year is just blah! not much action :(
I was lucky to be up late enough to get these (and surprised they weren't that bad considering the amounts of beer I had that night)
Alan hooked me up with some kick ass water marks, (Thanks again man! I owe ya) I'm hoping to re-edit these with in the next few days.

Family fun last night on Honda Civic Storm Chase Squad

Wow. Unbelievable shots, Mike. The sky was really showing out for you last night, huh.

I had other commitments last night and couldnt chase :( but did notice alot of cloud to cloud strikes and very few ground. Great shots glad you were able to harvest!!

I got west by 12am. Ton of lightning over home but no good views. I called Spshl J on the way out the door to make Noel feel better about me going out alone. He was actually able to meet me and we continued on together. It all went too fast NW but then came back. Almost headed S for part 2 that the radar showed a couple hours behind but we decided against the 6:30am getting home. Home at 3am.

We saw it hit between us and the mountain. It left a glowing spot for almost 30 seconds.

nice, like the last shot the best

i didnt even know it stormed till I got up this morning. Slept through the whole thing

Thanks. At this point I feel like the last photo is just cheating. Almost didn't post it. There's nothing for scale or background.

hah yah but I like the colors in it

Those are incredible.

I was driving home from Scottsdale around 10 and even then I could see the sky light up in the distance.

It was like shooting fish in a shallow barrel last night. Glad to have Offroadaz and Spshl J rubbing their lenses together out there with me.

The first one blows my mind with how many times it trails off... incredible.


The last one is my favorite because it looks like it's striking another cloud, and coming out bigger and stronger.

Taken on my roof tonight. Some of those bolts shoot in between the towers.
