Photographer Captures Slow-Motion Lightning Bolt During Rhode Island Thunderstorm

Thunderstorms rolled across Providence, Rhode Island, bringing strong winds, hail and lightning to the area on July 14.

Photographer Mike Cohea documents weather across all of New England and managed to capture part of the severe weather in slow motion.

This footage shows a stunning lightning bolt, followed by flashes of light in the gray clouds.

Several hundred residents in Providence were without power on the evening of July 14, although almost all residents soon had it restored, according to the National Grid outage map. Credit: Mike Cohea via Storyful
