Amazing Lightning Strikes

So it’s been raining outside for more hours than I’d care to count, and while doing my typical random pokings about the the internet, I found myself looking at an increasing number of images of lightning striking.  So here are some of the more amazing lightning strike images I found.  Enjoy.

A picture of some ball lightning taken by a woman in England.

Apparently this building in Dubai has a bad habit of being struck by lightning.  I wonder why that is.

I’ll admit that the image looks a bit doctored, but either way it’s an impressive shot of lightning on a beach.

An amazing photo of a double lightning strike on two buildings.

It’s like a tuning fork…except it’s lightning.

Sure, the lightning looks like it’s hitting land on the other side of the water, but I still don’t know why anybody would want to be in the water with a storm like that going on.

There are lightning storms and then there’s this insanity.

The varying colored lights at ground level add an interesting effect to all these lightning strikes.

It’s not the greatest photo, but that’s a plane being struck by lightning.  Bet you’re glad you’re not on that flight.

It’s only a single bolt, but the shear size of that single bolt of lightning is a little intimidating.

Tornadoes and lightning together.  This is why I don’t live in Kansas anymore.

Not only did the lightning take out the tree, but it went out of its way to do it.  That’s just rude.

Another tree being taken out.  What did trees ever do to lightning?

Lightning at the site of an erupting volcano.  Be somewhere else.

Another lightning storm at a volcano.  I imagine this is what the End of Days will look like.
