Thread: 2 quick vids from a storm system last night

Here are 2 videos I took last night from the cockpit. We were traveling parallel to and eventually through a line of storms over North Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. First is the storm itself. It was pretty active as far a the lightning and if you look very close you can see a Southwest plane also parraleling the storm:

Second vid is some VERY bright St. Elmo's fire we got while penetrating the storm. Probably the brightest I have seen in person. We could also see the radome of the AC putting of a bright glow. First time we had seen that ever! Sorry for the shakiness of this one, we were getting bumped around a good bit.

Thanks for sharing the videos. Active is right! What were you flying in?

That was HUGE line of storms out there yesterday. I was flying back from stafford, VA in a king air and we had to parallel the line until about fort wayne until we found a hole to shoot through so we could get back to pontiac!
