A terrible lightning strikes at an exciting time off the coast of Kiama, New South Wales, Australia.

Petr Belobraidik, 36, often follows violent storms and sometimes goes out to document.

After seeing the storm heading southwest from a position he thought might be serious, he shifted gears and decided to drive his bike south of Buxton, NSW. at the camera.

Peter said: “I was shocked and shocked to see a hurricane on the beach that thunders three to five times a second!”
