East Alabama Lightning

Thanks to ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Brandon Harris for these images… he writes:

“Another perfect night for lightning shots here in Jacksonville. The first shot of the night was a very close strike. It was so close I could hear the air crackling behind me. As a side note, I usually take my lightning photographs from within my car, so if a bolt does hit close I should be shielded by the frame. Even so…that first one made my heart pump extra fast.

Thanks!!”
