Storm at Culburra, May 17 2024

Some nice lightning after dark just out to sea from Jervis Bay, NSW Australia on 17th May 2024 - a mix of video and photos.

A couple of really nice photos there Andrew, well done. As I'm typing this there is a heavy shower with a bit of thunder up here.

Well done mate, a couple of nice bolts from the top of the storm. I did a quick run to Geroa, but it was way too far out and non thundery congestus started building between me and storms. There was a rather sus cell ahead of the pack as well

It’s always a lottery where those type of storms will pop up, they could just as easily happened off Kiama

@@stormsandfishing5448 in the cooler months its a well trodden path for storms to deflect more out to sea after passing Jervis Bay..well that is my opinion, I suppose grass is always greener elsewhere

Ah what? That sucks I never got anything :(

Colder upper temperatures further south, and better timing of southerly change - came through about 930. Last minute chase for me, was at home till I saw 630pm update of windy rain thunder was now expecting storms developing - grabbed the cameras and raced out. By the time I arrived there was flashes visible to the south
