Jaw-dropping scenes show rare reverse lightning

Awesome scenes show lighting over Atlanta at the weekend.

Amir Shaheen captured footage of a severe storm that passed through Georgia on Saturday (15 March) night.

His footage shows reverse lightning, a rare phenomenon where electrical discharges originate from tall structures or the ground and travel upwards towards the clouds.

The storms brought heavy rainfall, flash flood warnings, and high winds, with multiple trees down across the region.
