I share in La Vanguardia Readers' Photos a photograph taken from Miramar, next to the Martínez restaurant. The image has been captured with a telephoto lens.
In this way you can see what was falling in terms of precipitation in front of the coast of Mataró upwards, approximately.
The equipment I used to get this snapshot of the storm on the Maresme coast is Canon and I used a pluto sensor shutter.
In the photograph we can see the large black storm clouds, forming different levels in the sky, where the rays and lightning are noticeable with flashes of discharges, also, at different heights.
Lightning is a powerful natural electrical discharge of static electricity, produced during a thunderstorm, which generates an electromagnetic pulse.
The precipitated electrical discharge of lightning is accompanied by the emission of light (lightning), caused by the passage of electric current, which ionizes the air molecules, and by the sound of thunder, developed by the shock wave.
Electricity (electric current), passing through the atmosphere, rapidly heats and expands the air, producing the characteristic noise of thunder.
