Tony Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Given the fraction of time a lightning flash becomes visible capturing this image and for the first time that I've seen the shock wave is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phipck Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 That is an interesting photo. I’d like to find out the background to it. I can see a mast and som rope lines coming from it, I wonder if it was set up or known to be often struck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Looks like a boat mast being struck by lightning. Not uncommon and if that was a nice tall thing with nothing else around then it's more likely to get hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Boat it was, here is a story of it: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f47/buy-a-boat-struck-by-lightning-170488.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Explains a lot being a boat and the mast..... Could a boat have a lightning conductor like a house to earth directly to the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
