Storm report

SE QLD – NE NSW Storms, May 3 2011

· by Jimmy Deguara

I braved the cold headland at Sawtell for a few hours tonight to get some lightning shots. Not alot happened until about 8pm or so when a much closer storm developed off the coast. I saw two positive strikes but only captured this one.

Not to long after the cg's dried up but a awesome shelf structure was visible in the few flashes.

Not bad for May
