Flash Dance: Adventures in Lightning Photography
(For the PROs around here!)
MIAMI — I’ve grown accustomed to thunderstorms. After living and working in Florida for nearly six years, I know to carry a pair of tall rubber boots, a rain jacket, towels and covers for my cameras at all times.
Though lightning is one of the most powerful and unpredictable forces of nature, I didn’t used to fear it much, because it can be so constant here. My thinking has changed since working on a recent story by Lizette Alvarez about four survivors of lightning strikes in Florida, where more people die from them than in any other state.
