A bit of stormy weather occured today in Poltava  Smiley
Two isolated t-storms have passed directly across my home between 4-5PM, several more passed by at some distance (3...20 km).

Heavy rainfall during ~15 minutes (total 2.5mm), also hail falled during a short moment.

I've got 91 image and 2 videoclips from today (there were many nice Cb  Wink ), but now I'll post only this still from video.
(16:13 EEST, looking N)

That's a spectacular shot Roman! Definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time.

It's also a reminder to me as to what I've missed out on this year (i.e. T-storms). However in view of my recent run of clear nights (tonight looks like being another one after a day of significant cloud) I guess that I shouldn't complain too much.

You've done well, Roman, because  it's difficult to get lightning during daylight hours.
