โ๏ธโโก๏ธStorms moved through quickly last night! I rushed out the door after having dinner with the wife and headed south to get ahead of the storm. I am definitely lucky to have such a supportive wife for my storm chasing addiction. I got down to Sarasota just in time to get my cameras setup before the lightning hammers were thrown. The thunder was so heavy on these bolts it shook my camera and made it move downward just slightly. I also scored some more professional video which I am working on shooting more of this year.
