Screen grabs from footage shot with the HVX at 2 fps.

The gasoline fire started when lightning struck a fuel storage facility in Kansas City.

Nice. Some of us work.

Here is the footage. The compression for the web introduced some serious banding, but you get the idea.

very nice. It would have been even cooler if you had gotten the chance to capture the lightning in slow-mo. Very awesome though.

i was in KC when that happened...that was a fun storm

mb72378 - I did try slow motion at 60fps but there just wasn't enough light to shoot that way. Would have been cool though.

Ryan - That was quite a storm. The frequency of the lightning was amazing. Almost like strobe lights in a club.
