Lightning Over the Atlantic Video

Ralph Fato of Norwalk sent the following video to me. He wrote, "Here’s a five minute edited video of lightning over the Atlantic Ocean Monday night (August 1). I caught over 15 bolts on camera. It was incredible to watch. Winds were sustained around 15-20 mph at one point on the beach."

He used a Kodak z990 to capture the video. Click the 720 HD option.
