    I took some pictures of the storm.

    Most of them were crap... these are only a little less so :)

    I like this one the most:

    And before anyone asks - the photos were not taken parallel to the ground because I do not yet have a tripod and had to improvise :p

    I'm usually far too lazy to bother trying to take photos when it's storming. Don't really have any good vantage points either, so kudos to you for effort.

    This spesific lightning / thunder storm reached us in Stellenbosch at around 01:00 yesterday morning, when I was trying to sleep. Lightning came closer than 500m from my house, with very noisy / scary sound effects! It knocked out the electricity of the farm where I live and it only came back on about 13 hours later, 14:00 yesterday. My fish were moving around rather slow before that. I added some gas-heated water and oxigen drops to my aquarium. All survived the trauma! Beautiful orange in your pic, Andre!
