While myths about lightning are seemingly harmless on the surface, the fact is that there is no safe place outdoors during thunderstorms! Here’s a fact check on a few common lightning myths. ⚡️

@Vincent_Ledvina 18 0n my phone and 167 on computer. They are mostly from October 10th of last year.

A tornado just went through great valley across the southern tier. Pretty large debris ball

⛈️ The storm I witnessed yesterday near Clarendon, Texas, is hands down one of the most incredible ones I’ve ever seen! Those bright blue bands were so vibrant. I haven’t seen such bright blue banding like that since a hail storm in Iowa in 2022.

The blue hues are caused by the scattering of sunlight by ice crystals and water droplets high in the storm clouds, especially during the “golden hour” when the sun’s angle enhances those vibrant colors. I’d trade nearly any tornado I’ve seen in the past two years for this—honestly, I could care less about tornadoes. I just want to see the coolest or most interesting thing out there.

I wish I had more time to stand under this thing.

A few of my shots of the dusty monster near Morton, Texas yesterday... I have closer-range shots that are just brown rectangles.

A G4 geomagnetic storm may cause auroras to be visible in the night sky tonight, particularly if looking at the northern horizon. While skies will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers today, a clearing trend is expected after sundown.

@JAtanackov I saw the aurora in October. I live outside Buffalo, NY. I captured the beautiful aurora to the north, and the rest of the sky was red.

@ReutersWitness Yes, you can use these.
