Maine Man Captures Burst of Lightning From His Porch

Home entertainment has come to the fore in recent times, but Maine photographer Robert Wright was treated to a more natural kind of spectacle on March 29, when he witnessed a spectacular lightning show from his front porch.

Wright posted on Twitter about “big cloud-to-ground lightning strikes” on the night in South Berwick. He said he took this slow-motion video from his porch.

The strikes lasted for 10 minutes, Wright told Storyful, and came after clouds of rain that had “embedded lightning that lasted the better part of an hour,” he said. Credit: Robert Wright via Storyful
