I'd like to see the normal speed version, to compare it to this.

Looks cool tho.

Lightning at sea is also beautiful to watch

Well, since lightning is moving @ up to half the speed of light (depending on plasma concentrations and pathing) it's fairly difficult to reach recording speeds where you can see the actual electric charge move seamlessly. Wink
