Lightning video
« on: June 02, 2011, 05:19:32 pm »
Some cool video of a thunder and lightning storm taken in Boston last night, 1/6/11
Keep your eye on the Prudentail building around 56 / 57 seconds.

Any idea what the orange glow is on the side of the Prudential building? I did a roof repair on that building years ago. I wouldn't want to be on it that night!

Never seen anything like that before!  The building looked like a tesla coil.

I was hoping for video of a Ford getting whooped but that was pretty cool too.
