Lightning over Indialantic, Florida, on June 14, 2011

Lightning over Indialantic, Florida, on June 14, 2011. Photo by Chris Kridler, chriskridler.com

Today was good evidence that east-central Florida’s dry season is finally over, or at least taking a break. We had several rounds of severe and nonsevere storms in Brevard County, but chasing the lightning wasn’t easy. The storms this evening were moving south so fast, I could barely get ahead of them, thanks in part to way too many traffic lights. Makes me miss the prairie! Check out the photos.

@ChrisKridler and  @AletheaKontis met up with Jason Persoff to chase the Morton, Texas, supercell that spawned a giant tornado. We were on the dusty side of the storm most of the time but were still treated to an epic show as we pursued the monster. Video ©2022 by Chris Kridler. Music licensed from Pond5.
