One year ago today, I photographed these nice Kelvin Helmholtz waves on Montserrat (8 Aug 2023) Avui fa un any, vaig fotografiar aquestes ones de Kelvin-Helmholtz sobre Montserrat.

My closest lightning photo was taken 10 years ago (8-8-2014) in Castellgalí. It was a single event with 3 bolts to ground at 1 km. Fa 10 anys que vaig fer aquesta foto del llamp més proper, en Castellgalí. Va ser un únic llamp amb 3 canals impactant a 1 km.

Check out today's The Washington Post! Beautiful layout of my story on sprites, fleeting red flashes above thunderstorms. One of my fav stories I've written 🎆 Thanks Paul M Smith, Oscar van der Velde, Burcu Kosar, Ph.D., & more who taught me sprite 101! Read it here: wapo.st/3Mb7gGG

Two groups of red #sprites last night, 43 seconds apart. Evidence for relatively long-lasting chemical modifications by sprites: the second event has the "heads" hanging upside down, in exactly the same locations as the first sprite! The sprites happened over Aragón, Spain.
