A shock to your system

Look on the lh side of the image.
Its a twisting something. The lightning is affected by it.
I dont know what it is.

Very cool shot.

Nice pic/capture. That something resembles a water spout, which isn't uncommon but it still looks odd if it is one. Edit: maybe you captured a streamer??? Lightening strikes are attracted to streamers coming up from the ground or objects. I have no idea what else it would be unless you have lens worms. :beguiled:

Hmmm...there were no tornado warnings at that time, were there? It looks like the rope stage of a tornado...or it could just be a vine's tendril photobombing you! :biglaugh:

Maybe one of these guys having a bad night?

Wow am I envious, I always wanted to get a great shot of a lightning bolt, my wife even made me up a special suit out of aluminum foil with a copper antenna on top for going out in thunderstorms.

Jeff G · Jul 26, 2019

Maybe just an artifact from a bolt the camera didn't quite catch?

Great catch!

@K9Kirk - That's too much. :biglaugh:

Do you stay awake at night and think these things up?

@ OMP Ron - ...special suit out of aluminum foil with a copper antenna...

Take off your rubber boots! :clap:

@Jeff G - I am with you on this. Maybe the artifact is the superheated air left behind by another bolt that the camera didn't catch. It would be nice to hear what the "experts" say.

BTW @Soocom1 - Great capture! :icon_salut:

Nah, I don't have to stay up late, I have an uncle that was in the C.I.A. and he has a left over batch of MK Ultra's best psychotropics, lol! (I kid of course) really, I'm just an artist with a wild imagination, that's all. My friends tell me I'm a riot after three beers.
