Storm over La Torre

From the website that last year brought you the "Great Fire of La Torre" this year's near death experience came courtesy of an 8 or 9 hour thunder & lightning show.

Of course the real fun came after darkness had fallen but the air had been banging and crashing for a few hours before that.

I had been in Murcia City and started to drive back to La Torre at around 10pm. All the way home there where constant flashes of the storm but it wasn't until I was within a few kilometres of home that the rain grew very heavy and the flashing lightning became almost constant, often with multiple flashes across the sky.

I started taking pics at 1.30 when it was really going at it full blast. If you have ever tried to capture the moment you will understand that around a dozen good photos from around 200 taken wasn't a bad return.








If you have been paying attention you will wonder where the near death experience came into it. That was the threatened heart attack from the 200 photos that produced nothing of note.
