This video is a slideshow of a series of photos I took with my drone as a storm approached Brisbane, with a strange phenomenon that I’m unfamiliar with.
You can see a horizontal bolt of lightning slowly crawling its way across the sky from left to right. What’s interesting is that each frame of the slide is an 8 second still, meaning that the bolt was visible in the sky for over a minute!
You know how lightning never strikes twice?
Well, that’s a myth. It loves to strike the same place twice. Hot air left behind after a strike is a conductor for the next one.
