Fork Lightning Illuminates UK Sky

A thunder and lightning storm illuminated the sky over Brackley, UK, in the early hours of July 18. The storm was strong enough to wake up William Gibson who quickly grabbed his camera to catch the action on video. The footage shows bright flashes lighting up the pitch black clouds, and moments of dramatic forked lightning.
