Our Strange Sky: The Lightning Skies of Huntsville or The Gods Must be Showy


8/3/11 Lightning in Northeast Huntsville

In the early days of August, Huntsville was witness to a fantastic lightning show. We attempted to take video but our phone is on its last legs after an unfortunate incident regarding a washing machine. It took some small doing but we found others who captured the phenomenon(in photograph and on video) and shared with the world at large.

Below the jump is a pilot’s video(markopenguin) of the skies filled with lightning attacks.

On a trip from Jackson, MS (KHKS) to Huntsville, AL (KHSV) on August 3rd, 2011, I witness perhaps the most spectacular natural light show I’ve yet seen! I’m very thankful to have been far enough away from those storms to have enjoyed getting to watch them without having to fight them!
