Hi bluescope,
Good stuff, I moaned when I heard the forecast, but BOY!! what a storm!
Mother-nature really turned it on for us lastnight, what a light show!
Though I noticed it kinda dodged the city and surrounds. (see pics)
Would probably be one of the best thunderstorms I've ever seen.
I sat outside for hours watching it, moving under-cover whenever the rain came down... was sitting there giggling like a little kid.
One strike was so close my house literally shook from the thunder, no exageration, I could feel everything moving.... I was loving it.
I think it was the strike marked just to the right of the letter M in 'Rockingham', my house is under that 'm'.
The storm seemed to be mostly cloud to cloud(which I suspect are ignored by the lightning tracker), but enough big cloud to grounders with kick-you-in-the-chest thunderclaps to keep me interested.
Hope you got some action to make up for a night away from the observatory.
