Photography of Lightning over St. Louis and the Gateway Arch

Lightning and severe weather can and does happen any time of year in St. Louis, meaning a storm chaser here needs to be ready in both winter and spring alike! This gallery includes scenes of lightning captured over the city in the 'off season' months of September and February, as well as the more typical spring and summer storm events. - Dan
