Intense thunderstorm in Walterboro, SC with clear air CG lightning, and a close strike. June 26. 

After eating lunch and getting ready to leave, we walked outside only to hear thunder. my sister and I walked up onto a hill to watch the storm, and I captured this rare clear air CG lightning strike. The bolt clearly struck well out of the rain bands of the storm. This storm was absolutely loaded with cloud to ground lightning, and one bolt struck pretty close to us, and since the storm was isolated, and the sun was out, we were also treated to a rainbow while watching the storm.
