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
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!
