A STORM LIGHTNING STRIKE IN RAINBOW COLORS


 A STORM LIGHTNING STRIKE IN RAINBOW COLORS

In Southern Oregon near Mount Shasta’s region,
right when a night storm stacked into thick layers over the peaks and the air turned electric.

The lightning is real storm physics: charge builds inside the cloud, then releases in a fast strike. The intense colors come from light scattering through heavy moisture, thick cloud layers, and suspended particles, which can tint the scene purple, green, and orange — especially at dusk or night when the camera catches the glow more strongly. Over mountains, storms can also build taller and sharper because rising air gets forced upward along the slopes.

Where you can see dramatic mountain-storm scenes:

Pacific Northwest & Northern California (Cascades / Shasta region)

Colorado Rockies (summer evening storms)

Montana & Wyoming (big-sky lightning over peaks)
Best timing: late evening when storm cells are active and the last daylight is fading.
