Скачать или смотреть INSANE Lightning Storm in the Kimberley, Western Australia in Slow Motion

Watch to the end for some of the most incredible lightning I've seen.

On 19 February 2024, Derby, in the West Kimberley of Northern Western Australia was hit by the first of the outer rainbands of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln. Though Lincoln failed to bring high rainfall totals, it did produce a line of severe thunderstorms in its outer band, which was followed by some incredible cloud to ground, intercloud and anvil crawler lightning. Filmed in 4K and in slow motion.

Being at work, I missed the impressive, horizon spanning shelf cloud rolling in, though I made it just in time to watch the incredible core come through. It was terrifyingly fast and within minutes, me and my gear were being drenched in torrential rain, turning the mud flats I was on into soup. Pretty scary stuff. As the heavy rain faded, I captured this incredible spectacle over the King Sound inlet.

It was difficult to convey the dissonance I felt in the wake of this storm. The teals and browns being cool and calming, occasionally broken by peals of crazy lightning and thunder made for a strange mix of anxiety and awe. I hope that comes across in the edit with this awesome music. I would love to hear what you think as I am VERY new to video production.
