July 7, 2017 – LAKE WALES, FL – This is what brought me to Florida. The absolute power in nature, and the atmosphere. It's not like Michigan storms, in Florida when a bolt of lightning strikes closely, it's an earthquake, and generally long sound effects to go with it. One of many captured between 7 and 10p.m. EST. The storm caught me off guard otherwise the footage would be a lot better :/ #lightning #florida #weather #stormchasing #lightninghunter #lightningstrike #mothernature #lakewales #wx #severestorms #killer #fury #electrifying #cxypher #nothinglikeit #violent #polkcounty #boktower #orlando #centralflorida
