T-storm in Havi last night

[RiverRatMike]

Had lots of lightning Wed night and even some rain. I was at work during most of the storm. My work is just up from Windsor beach. I stepped outside with my camera a started taking photos of the lightning. This one is looking towards Havasu landing on the CA side.

It poured last night.........great show :)

Thanks everyone! Just got home from chasing another severe thunderstorm tonight here in Havasu. I left work at midnight and drove out to Sara Park. It was going off big time!!! I witnessed 1000's and 1000's of lightning flashes up in the sky just about a mile up from me. It was just me and the lightning and it was putting on a very good show for me. My camera was snapping photos left and right for over a hour. I'll post a couple of what I captured tonight later.

Those were the strongest winds I have ever felt, It was blowing so hard on the south side, woke the whole house up....

[RiverRatMike]

tonight was the best lightning show of the year in Havasu. It kicked ass for over 6 hrs!

Wunderground said it got up to 47mph gust.........wife called and said it was the worst one all season.

[lawbreaker2]

WOW, great pic's, can't wait to see more, I can't belive the storms you guy's are having this year, and so many of them, Over here we have not had to many this year, Infact we only had a few in the spring and that was it, very little rain to.

[phebus]

Last nights storm kicked ass. Wind, lightning, rain, and oh yea, did I say wind. Fock..............

[BigDoug]

Oh ya, it was very cool looking fo sho :)

[phebus]

I was afraid the electricity might go out, so I went to the refrigerator, performed last rights on the beer, and then put each one out of their misery. :messedup:

I hope the wind left me a few shingles on my roof. I'll be checking it out this weekend.

[havaduner]

Yeah, I wonder if I'll have any awnings left.

[Warlockjer]

It was pretty intense. Can't wait to see your pictures RRMike :)

[RiverRatMike]

thanks for all the comments!
That storm last night was crazy, yet it only produced very few cloud to ground lightning strikes in a 6 hr period. So really I wasn't able to capture much of really anything but just a bunch of flashes going on up in the clouds. Out to 500 photos I took, only a few bolts were visible with this storm.

I saw that same transformer blow also, I was at work during the first part of the storm. Didn't see any lightning hit when it blew.
