Spectacular Lightning.
Dark clouds gathered over Mutare late afternoon on Thursday 10th November which developed into the first severe thunderstorm of the new rainy season. This produced more than 50 mm of rain and was accompanied by several cloud-to-ground lightning strikes and spectacular displays of cloud-to-cloud anvil crawlers up to a few kilometres in length. Some of these are shown in the accompanying sixteen image photo montage. The delay in presentation is due to the time-consuming effort required to locate, recover, edit and process all the material required to best display the lightning.
