A french site and I don't understand the french commentary. Beautiful and spectacular lighting effects.

Nice pics.

Reminds me of when I was very young (and the chores hadn't been delegated to me yet), it got very dark and there was a close lightning strike.
Dad was milking the cows at the time, and when he came back to the house he said it knocked him off the milk stool.
Next day could see the lone big tree down the lane from the barn was split in two, half standing and the other half lying on the ground.

Makes you appreciate why they say not to seek shelter under a tree when there is a chance of lightning.
