I find that if I can leave the shutter open for 10 or more seconds during a severe storm I will catch one or more strikes. Sometimes they occur at quite regular intervals as the storm front moves across the land. Storms out at sea seem to be more consistent with timing. I guess that it is just static electricity on a massive scale. A differential in potential energy must be created as the storm moves across the land and the sea. Cheers, John Patricia, Thank you for the comment. I find that if I can leave the shutter open for 10 or more seconds during a severe storm I will catch one or more strikes.
