The Lighting that was going off in this video was just above our suburb, we were woken upat approx 3am by an almighty crack, almost pooped the bed it was so loud........... can't find too much footage of the storm at the mo. 8 hours later a bush fire started across the way from us at the airport, so were on alert for a while, luckily no homes were damaged.
