Mumbai woke up to frightening thunder, lightning and rains on September 13. It did not take much for people to take their phones out and record the thunder and lightning, which many on Twitter termed as “Mumbai night on angry mode”. A cab driver, Kishor M, said that the rains began around 2 am and went on till about 6 in the morning. The sound woke up the whole family at 3.30 am and we thought it was like the end of the world. We were surprised when the sun rose in the morning,” he said. A quick look through the Internet will show many videos from the night showing Mumbai sky almost lighting up like a day, because of the thunder. A couple of other equally chilling clips show the lightning spreading through the clouds before it hit the earth.
One of the Twitter users even showed how a very powerful lightning ended up creating a “ball of fire” on the ground! Click through to see some of the videos of one of the scariest nights that many in Mumbai lived through and managed to record.
