Who doesn’t love a good storm in the Top End.
Katherine also has some accomplished lightning photographers as we can see here.
Capturing a zillion-volt discharge of electricity in darkness is a real art and no fluke as we have seen before from Jacci Ingham.
As darkness fell across Katherine last night the storm rolled across with the jagged lightning bolts the photographers like to see.
Residents who lost power for varying amounts of time were not so happy.
About 5mm of rain fell officially but some totals as high as 38mm were recorded across the region.
The storm only lasted a short time but we appreciate those who sent in their terrific pictures of the event.
