These pics were taken from a recent storm on the central coast. The first was taken at Mangrove Mt near the sport oval. The clouds were LOW and the storm CLOSE. The Lightning looks far off but it was not. this pic was taken on the dash of my car as it was raining heavily outside. The second and third were taken from underneath my carport taken about an hour later from a second front that mooved in. This second storm was VERY active and several ground strikes close at hand was FANTASTIC. See the third shot
