This very windy, wet, and electric storm moved slowly from north to south late last night. I had seen some lightning earlier from the bedroom but didn’t think that it was heading my way until maybe ten minutes later. I tried to capture some lightning bolts but never got a good shot of one so out comes the iPhone for this video. The rain kept falling for around twenty minutes which was so nice!

Video works in Tasmania John 🙂 That looks intense!! I look forward to hopefully seeing some shots from you of the dessert springing to life after the rain has passed 😀 I hope you and your home survive unscathed.
I love thunderstorms. We haven’t had too many this summer, which is very uncharacteristic. The rain (and the storms) seem to keep missing us.
Breathtaking moment, John! Scary, dramatic and intensely beautiful!!!
I agree, Kaya, thank you!!
Spectacular storm ! Thanks for the video John
Your welcome, Rudi, I am glad that you could view too because a blogger in the UK could not. I have no idea why as the video is set to be Private.
Saw the flash flooding of LV o the news this morning. Looks awful. Right into Caesar’s Palace.
Wow, you saw 100% more than I did, Anneli! I just don’t watch any form of news anymore but I can sure believe they got flooded. Badly! That rain was constant and hard with huge cold drops. Brrr! Oh well, they have the money to repair their empire.
Yes, they do!
Another reason I avoid going down to the strip!
The video is not playing over here in Europe John…
That sucks, I’m sorry about this, Richard. I follow another UK blogger, he can’t see them either and yet I have the video set to Public! No idea why… Also, I have never thought of the UK as being a part of Europe simply because it’s an island.
Pretty unusual to get a storm like that this time of year I think. Here we would call that ‘sheet’ lightening. where you don’t actually see the bolts.
Actually, this is the exact time of year we should be getting these storms, it’s called Monsoon Season down here. The moisture moves north from Mexico up the Baja Peninsula and the ocean. It makes it’s way to New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada which brings the badly needed rain. That storm last night was wild though, the lightning was awesome! 😂👍🏻
Oh I didn’t realize that John. Hoping you get lots of rain.
Thanks, me too! The Strip was flooded a bit last night, oh well! They can afford the repairs. 😂
Those bright blue skies of yours are beautiful but there is nothing as refreshing as a nice summer rain. 😊
I agree! That storm was exciting, I sat out there as long as I could before the rain got too heavy but what a great show!! ❤️👍🏻
Greatest show on earth! 😊
This planet is so dynamic! So many things must fall in to place to create these beautiful storms that give life to the desert.
That’s a nice storm.
It was a beautiful thing man! I stayed out there as long as I could before the rain became too heavy, the lightning was getting closer too so inside I go before I get electrocuted!
