When an intense storm's forecast, most sensible people take shelter in their homes.
Thankfully for us, a handful of mad cap photographers and storm enthusiasts were on hand to capture strikingimages of a thunderstorm that lashed Sydney, Australia, on Thursday night.
For all of the storm's intensity it lasted little more than an hour before heading both north east, but not before some of the more electrifying moments were captured in freeze frame.
