Nighttime fireworks treat
Summer thunderstorms in west central Florida are an every day event. However nighttime storms, after the sun’s energy is removed to power them, are rare.
With a blocking high pressure area over the Gulf of Mexico recently, the East to West winds that normally blow over Florida during the summer were absent – giving a dry period. The removal of this high, and the heavily laden moist air resulted in this beautiful nighttime fireworks treat.

I gotta admit, this was just a lucky shot. I was using a simple point-and-shoot camera, and was intending to take a picture of inter-cloud lightning illumination. I just happened to catch these bolts. I won’t complain about the results tho’
Nice shot Ron.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
Thanks
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was entirely right.
This post actually made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information!
Thanks!
