Orange Lightning !
Last night on the way home I saw some really powerfull orange lightning stikes. These strike were ground to cloud and nearly vertical with no branching arc'* you usually see.
When I first saw it out of the corner of my eye I thought it was some light show or something, but not once I started paying better attention. I grabbed my camera but by the time I go back to where I had a good view the front had moved off. :(
Anyone else ever see orange lightning? That was really weird.

Well I emailed the local news weatherman , Wayne Mahar, and he got back to me that he actually saw it too. He said the orange color was caused by polutants in the atmosphere that night.

Before then, neither had I. Now to find out who'* polluting so much that its only occuring now. I've live in this area for over 30yrs and lightning has always been white.

I was coming back from New Jersey to my home on Long Island, NY and I'd have to say around NYC and such I saw orange-ish lightning too. When I was barely able to make out the moon between the clouds at times it seemed to have an odd tint also.
