Best full frame capture of the third anvil crawler lightning display. Mutare

During the first half of April more lightning has been recorded in Mutare then at any time approaching the end of a rainy season in the past twelve years! The most recent thunderstorm on the 15th was accompanied three spectacular displays of anvil crawler lightning under a cumulonimbus cloud which had developed above Chikanga Township, Mutare. This was captured in a video taken between 5.48 and 6.02 pm from which selections of frames have been extracted and used to produce the accompanying still image and a spectacular real-time, half and quarter speed timelapse animation which will be presented as a Disqus comment if this submission is accepted. These clearly show the movement of the anvil crawler lightning in the clouds as there was hardly any intervening rainfall.
