West Coast Thunderstorms 14th May

Unread post by NZ Thunderstorm Soc »

Lots of thunderstorms along the West coast today but probably easing away as the front moves north.
Thought I would mention this as nothing has come up on the forum, just for the records.
Distant lightning flashes observed from here this evening along the Alps.

I think one came down around the Rangitata gorge area as there was quite a bright flash observed from here.
Heard no thunder in the distant, though.
