Cape Liptrap Storm

On Nov 29 I witnessed an awesome storm cell at the Cape Liptrap lighthouse. The lightning got so close I had to stop the cameras and lay low to avoid being hit. Some of the brightest bolts I've ever seen.

My camera was taking continuous 20 second exposures and lightning lit up every 2nd or 3rd frame. Outside of the bolts it was pitch black and still. Each bolt sent a shock through my visual system. Pretty darn scary!
