    Lightning Storm at Tallahassee, FL

    By FLken  |  Posted July 17, 2012  |  Tallahassee, Florida
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter FLken was amazed to see this storm near him in Tallahassee, Florida on Monday evening. Keen to get a better video, he drove to the woods in the outer bounds of his neighborhood, stepped out of his car and began shooting. "I have never seen sky producing colors like this before," he told CNN. "The lightning was condensed at one area. It was all happening at one spot and direction [and] clouds formed the shape of a dome." Although the storm was safely around 50 miles away, our iReporter did have one more immediate concern - the possibility of snakes in the woods around him. "I had to watch my steps," he said.

    Shot this video in the neighborhood. It is one of the best lightning shows(some call them storms) I have ever seen. It was just really quite. No thunder at all. All I can hear was bugs and frogs. Actually it was not a very smart idea to step on tall grass in pitch dark. Cotton Mouths love sneaking on you in FL. Enjoy the video. I shot it with my small pocket camera that happens to have full 1080P HD. No tripod since I rushed out not to miss it.
