Colorado Anvil Lightning Crawler

http://ift.tt/1WPcJ84

Out chasing storms in northeast Colorado and saw some amazing crawlers that looked like they were coming off of a tower going up into the sky. During the dissipation of a severe thunderstorm, many discharges of lightning that never appear to make it to the ground will appear to cling to the base of a cloud. Looking up at the cloud base, an anvil crawler will look like fingers of lightning underneath the clouds.

Leading Strike

This storm packed a lot of rain, so the only thing you can do in that case is find a place with a over hang, porch or park shelter.   It was tough finding something with a good composition so here we are at McIntosh lake East end view to Longs Peak in the far distance.  Longmont, Colorado, NE Boulder County.   Number one is safety the number two is protect your gear.
