Very cool thunderstorm

Best I've ever seen in kiwi land.
Probably an hour of lightening directly overhead.
My little Discus is tied down outside...hail would not be a crowd pleaser.
It's not looking crash hot for a contest day tomorrow...or Saturday.
Damn this is starting to feel like a Matamata contest...only I'm 22 hours from home not 40 minutes.

Update...the weather forecaster here in Omarama claimed that last nights thunderstorm was the best he'd seen in all the years he's been coming here.
There was a fleet of pilots sitting in their cars, out on the runway at 11pm watching. However once the lightning strikes got quite close most retreated.
No hail...thankfully.
