An electrically charged sky gave U.S. Air Force pilots a rare light show while evacuating planes in Florida ahead of Hurricane Idalia.
U.S. Air Force pilots in Tampa, Florida, were treated to a rare light show called St. Elmo's Fire while evacuating planes ahead of Hurricane Idalia.
MacDill said all aircraft have been evacuated from the military base, which remains closed until further notice. According to the National Weather Service, "The glow on a masthead produced by an extreme buildup of electrical charge is known as St. Elmo’s Fire." More than 200,000 customers were without electricity as trees snapped by strong winds brought down power lines and water submerged streets. Along the coast, some homes were submerged to near their rooftops, and structures along the ocean crumpled in the surge. As the eye moved inland, destructive winds shredded signs and rooftops.
