Went downtown to watch the fireworks last night, and all the while leading up to the show, there was a lot of heat lightening in the area. Just after the first fireworks were shot off, it started to rain, and continued to thunder and lightening through the entire show. It was definitely one of the cooler shows I've seen because of this. I shot a video of finale, and was able to get a few cloud to cloud strikes in the shot as well. It was a good time. [video=youtube_share;3w0E1kQvrM8]http://youtu.be/3w0E1kQvrM8[/video]
Could have been like San Diego's fireworks. They had a glitz and what was suppose to be an 18 minute display all went off in 15 seconds. LOL http://www.mercurynews.com/californ...re-ignition-causes-san-diego-fireworks-fizzle
lightening and fireworks Similar to a show we caught in NC on the 3rd, less the rain. One of my sons is in HS, so I threw a challenge to calculate the (approx) storm cloud height from the silhouette and angle. We were able to pull up our distance from the storm on the phone...
