Springfield/Monson tornado 6th anniversary: Boston Lightning from that day, June 1, 2011

by markadmin Posted: Thursday, 6/1/2017

I photographed several Boston storms that day, 6 years ago. I did not go out to the hard hit areas of western Massachusetts, but I did see some tremendous lightning in and around Boston. The top two photos were snapped between 9-10pm from Medford. The bottom photo was snapped in the mid-afternoon from East Boston. The Coast Guard station lightning bolt looks totally fake, or “photoshopped.” Lucky for me, I had another camera rolling video (at bottom) of the same strike.

    Great shots! I wasn’t as daring but got a few strikes from my bedroom window in the South End of the Prudential getting some strikes.

    Have a nice weekend.
