Day Lightning @ 240FPS

Recording day lightning is difficult enough under ideal conditions. This attempt, the best for me thus far, captures two separate discharges at 240 fps using my iPhone 7 Plus.

The first bolt is actually a series of discharges aimed at different directions. The second bolt shows a step down leader in distinct segments. However, even slowing down the speed 8x realtime is still not slow enough. You may have to watch this clip more than once. These lightning strikes followed the virga (precipitation) channels from high based thunderstorms. Relative humidity was only 20 percent so no rain reached the ground. Anyway, enjoy.
