Incredible lightning filled the sky all around. The air was thick with electricity. I was inspired to form the clips into a music track synced to the lightning. I hope you enjoy. I know I did!

Last night’s powerful storm in SW Iowa (tornadoes, wind, hail) slid along about 15 miles (24 km) north of my house. We saw lots of lightning, but we still had starry skies above.

„Unsere Analysen haben ergeben, dass die durch den Klimawandel steigenden Temperaturen die Gewitter- und damit Blitzhäufigkeit noch weiter steigen lassen“, sagt Simon. „Dass dieser Trend so eindeutig im Einklang mit den globalen Veränderungen des Klimasystems steht, hat uns auch überrascht.“

How some tropical trees benefit from being struck by lightning https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.70062
"The lightning's power cleanses these trees of parasitic #vines. It also zaps trees nearby, reducing competition. Dipteryx oleifera, a towering presence in #Panama's forests, is particularly adept at thriving after enduring events that are deadly to most other trees."
woah, BIG lightning flashed across the sky outside our windows, around 1km away based on the thunder? maybe a bit more? definitely over northshore.
Tropical tonka bean trees (Dipteryx oleifera) not only survive lightning strikes, but appear to benefit from them. Lightning strikes on tonka bean trees kills liana vines that are growing on the trees, and kills or damages surrounding trees.

What should you do if you're outdoors and caught in a lightning storm? In the past, the recommendation was to crouch.
@PopularScience reports on new advice from the National Lightning Safety Council: https://flip.it/D1LnC8
Popular Science · Actually, it's not safe to crouch during a lightning storm‘When thunder roars, go indoors.’
The sooner you get to a safe place, the less risk you’ll face. Crouching only prolongs the risk of being struck.

“A Migration Story”
Last week near Kearney, Nebraska on the Platte River with the migrating sandhill cranes (about 700,00 in this area when I was there). I was overnighting in a blind when this storm approached from the west.

I love it when they zoom into the map in some of these rural Tennessee areas and say stuff like “the tornado is now crossing old Lebanon dirt road and Possum Wallow Creek Road, moving toward the corner of upper brushy Creek Road and State Route 13”
