South Australians were given a spectacular sight on the evening of Monday, Dec. 19 when a “spider lightning” crawled across the sky over a suburban beach.

The video, which was captured by Australian Caleb Travis during a thunderstorm, shows the magnificent lightning branch out into different directions while illuminating the sky in stunning shades of purple. It was captured in the seaside town of Glenelg, Adelaide.
