• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

awesome super slow film,lightning

You see some positively amazing weather phenomena on the Great Plains. One of my abiding memories of my stint at Forbes AFB near Topeka, KS was of spending two or three hours outside our barracks one summer evening observing something I had never seen before, or seen since. The entire sky was covered by grey cloud that resembled cotton batting - from horizon to horizon. On the other side of that cloud layer was an awe-inspiring electrical storm that went on for hours. There were many hundreds of lightning flashes during the time I watched this go down. It looked like a neon light fixture with dirty cotton stuffed into it, it flickered so fast. Yet there was not a sound from this display - not one thunderclap or rumble in the distance, nor was there a raindrop. Like I said, I've never seen anything like that since.
