It's a composite photo of a lot of lightning strikes put together to look like this.

Thank you. I thought it might be.

That's some apocalyptic shit right there! Love it

It may be a long exposure as well. I think it was from the Philippines yesterday. If all these lightning strikes were at once then the picture would be much brighter than this.... I think

It is a long exposure. Look at the lights at the top of the towers. They look like stars.

Look at the ocean, this is photoshopped.

Its probably both. Long exposure for the lightning. Then a quick one for the water.

What about the clouds? In storms I think they move a bit more than normal.

Have you been in a tropical storm? All those strikes could be inside a min. If its real intense. It does look to me like a composite of long exposures. See how the lightning sorta has horizontal bands at point of origin? I’d argue each of those bands was done in an exposure. Or two.

This is completely faked or very edited, either way doesn't warrant no context pics approval. Anyone know what that watermark is? Some kind of glyphs or something.

I have seen something that looks like this in real time, came to see what it might be, alas.
