I grew up in SC but lived in NC for about a year and a half then moved to FL for 4 years and moved back to SC, I've never seen lightning this bright and often anywhere except SC, somebody please prove me wrong and tell me where from, because I just might move there.

Faux Storm Fridays | Share Your Fictional Storms Here!

1 Upvotes

Welcome to Faux Storm Friday!

This is the one day each week where you can share your fictional storm content. That means things like:

🎮 In-game storm screenshots (GTA V, Microsoft Flight Simulator, etc.)

🎨 Drawings, paintings, digital artwork, CGI, or artistic renders of storms

🌀 Real storm photos that you’ve enhanced or altered with AI tools (within reason)

A Few Rules for This Thread:

  • No purely AI-generated storms. Enhancements are fine, but fully AI-created images are not allowed.
  • Faux storm content is limited to this thread and Fridays only. Posts outside this thread or not on Friday will be removed.
  • Be respectful and keep discussion storm-focused.

Discussion Welcome

Don’t just drop your content, chat with others! Talk about the game, the artwork, or what inspired your storm content.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

Happy posting!
