Last night was a memorable one.
It felt like all of Hawaii stopped what they were doing to watch the laser light show amid the clouds. Every 15-30 seconds the sky would light up and uncover a different part of the island. The purple and blue fragments of lightning seemed to be in perfect harmony with each other – as if it was a choreographed performance.
Although we all watched it from different parts of the island, we were connected through Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Take a look at some of the photos captured below, along with some of the reactions throughout the night.
For anyone who experienced Hawaii’s lightning show – it was a real treat. Mahalo.
