At 11:55 p.m., Thursday, September 10, a very intense thunderstorm raged over the Corsican reliefs. 300 kms away, from Genoa, I photographed this magnificent jellyfish sprite (leprechaun) Sprite jellyfish over corsica from Genoa, (300 kms away)
Hiratsuka has been thundering from the beginning. A scene of a thunderstorm at 20:50:56 on September 9, 2020, seen from a home in Hiratsuka to the northwest with a wide-angle camera. It's a change of only about 2 seconds, but you can see that lightning is proceeding while looking for a place where electricity can easily pass.
Thunder was heavy last night, and large sprites also appeared. A sprite that appeared at 0:57:52 on September 10, 2020 is seen from a wide-angle camera facing northwest from his home in Hiratsuka. Multiples appeared at the same time and illuminated the sky red.
From the electrical storm tonight in the North Sultana (Monterrey Nuevo León, Mexico)!!!

RED SPRITES AND GREEN GHOSTS:
Christophe Suarez of Genoa, Italy, wasn't trying to photograph sprites when he pointed his camera at a distant thunderstorm on Sept. 10th. But this magnificent specimen was too big to miss:
"I was shooting a thunderstorm across the Ligurian Sea almost 400 km away over the island of Corsica," says Suarez. "Suddenly this jellyfish sprite appeared!" Its red form stretched 100 km high, nearly touching the edge of space.
Note the slightly-green caps on top of the sprite. These are a newly discovered phenomenon called "Green Ghosts." When sprites intersect Earth's airglow layer 96-97 km high, they can excite oxygen atoms, producing an aurora-like glow. Green Ghosts were discovered just one year ago by Hank Schyma, a Houston Texas-based storm chaser better known to his fans as Pecos Hank. Only a handful of Green Ghosts have ever been photographed, so this is an area of cutting edge research.
Another good video from Adapt 2030:

Indeed. It seems the electrical nature of our weather, changing atmosphere and weakening magnetosphere is becoming ever more apparent:
- Something new in the realm of sprites
- Rare red auroras captured over Utsjoki, Finland
- Beached pilot whales are a sign of the magnetic pole shift and waning magnetosphere
- Up to 1,500 birds flew into skyscrapers in Philadelphia
- Recently discovered atmospheric electrical phenomenon 'Green Ghost' captured over West Texas

I've never seen such a gigantic lightning bolt. There is a noticeable increase in this type of storm in the Middle East.

Recently, many sprites and elves have occurred. It looks like the sprites that appeared at 23:07:37 and 10:12 on December 24, 2020 were seen with a wide-angle camera from Hiratsuka to the northern sky.
From midnight to this morning, large-scale sprites and elves appeared one after another. A wide-angle camera from Hiratsuka's home to the south and southeast of the sprite that appeared from 1:00 to 4:00 on January 29, 2021. Sprites are lightning strikes into space that occur with lightning strikes.
#Orages quite strong currently between #pau and #tarbes but also in #ariege : 30mm of precipitation recorded at #saintgirons (22mm in 12 minutes). Meteociel

More negative effects of the storms this afternoon. Damage to fruit trees in the southeastern third of the municipality of Hellín (#Albacete ), bordering Jumilla (#Murcia ), near Rincón de la Dehesilla.#meteoAB
The thunderstorm cells although often isolated, have sometimes left copious amounts of rain today in a short time. We can see 42.8 mm at Felletin in the #Creuse , 38.2 mm at Gaillard in #HauteSavoie and 32.6 mm at Clermont Ferrand in the #PuydeDome . Data source: MC
Line-1
Regional disparities are strong. Due to the low rainfall in May, the index is lower than the first decile in the Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Ariège and Aude. On the other hand, no department is above the eighth decile.
Line-2
The rains of the days to come, sometimes abundant in thunderstorms, will be especially beneficial to the vegetation. To recharge groundwater, which is often deficient and declining, it is too late. The #sécheresse may be a concern of the summer.

Sprites!!! Camping in Big Bend National Park in one of the most remote locations in the USA. Looking across Mexico toward Del Rio Texas last night, saw numerous sprites with the naked eye for the first time. Unforgettable! #sprites #lightning #TXwx

Orages : trois départements du nord de la France en vigilance orange
Le Nord, le Pas-de-Calais et l’Aisne ont été placés en vigilance, vendredi 4 juin, à 11 heures. Météo-France met en garde contre de soudaines inondations.

The Nord, Pas-de-Calais and Aisne were placed in vigilance, Friday, June 4, at 11 am. Météo-France warns of sudden floods
En this beginning of June, the weather remains decidedly capricious. While summer should arrive in a fortnight, and the month of May brought its share of gray, France was no doubt expecting a somewhat more lasting calm these days. But heaven has decided otherwise. After Seine-et-Marne and Île-de-France affected by violent thunderstorms in the last 48 hours, it is the turn of part of northern France to have to prepare for an intense meteorological phenomenon that s 'ready to disembark.Thus, Friday June 4, in its 11 o'clock bulletin, Météo-France placed three departments on orange vigilance for thunderstorms. These are the Nord, Pas-de-Calais and Aisne. The forecaster site evokes a phenomenon of "high intensity", responsible for "intense electrical activity". And warns against "heavy rains that can lead to sudden flooding." For now, the alert is in effect until Saturday, June 5, 6 a.m.
Thunderstorms… and hail?
Friday, at the end of the morning, Météo-France indicates that the thunderstorms which touched the Paris region earlier in the morning are moving towards Hauts-de-France "losing their activity". The agency plans a "stormy reactivation (...) of the Massif Central at the Belgian and German borders" for the beginning of the afternoon. And specifies: “The most violent thunderstorms are expected in the east of Hauts-de-France. »Accumulations of 30 to 60 millimeters in less than an hour are to be expected. Hail could also surprise residents. Finally, during thunderstorms, gusts can reach 80 to 100 km / hour.A #orage of rare intensity touched #Paris around 7:30 am with #pluies torrential: 16 mm fell in less than a quarter of an hour. Result: nearly 300 km on the roads of #IledeFrance . In time-lapse images, the arrival of the storm seen from the camera on the roof of the tower
@TF1
#Orage at #Paris : the peak of traffic on the roads of #IledeFrance reached shortly after 9 a.m. with 425 km of #bouchons , an "exceptional" level for a Friday ... It is quite simply as much as what had been measured on Wednesday, May 12 in the evening, the day before the Ascension Bridge!
@LCI
8am: the sky is impressive in front of the #orage in Chambly! Take care in the Chambly / Beaumont / Persan sector, which has already suffered #inondations last Wednesday! #meteo#nordparisien
