Just outside of the Aerial Port fenceline was this particular tree. If I would have arrived at the warehouse 1 min earlier, I possible would have felt the jolt from the lightning hitting the tree. I was driving on the main drag on base when the bolt hit the tree... it was a deafening sound!
Close Up
Now, here is the storm. If have been to North Charleston, the building in the background is the Embassy Suites on International Blvd.
On Base... CHS Aero Club in the distance.
