A SUCKER for storms truly suffered for his craft when he came face-to-face with a bolt of lightning.
On Monday night, Gladstone residents were treated to a stunning display of lighting and thunder.
And like many people who just love a good storm, Tim Alfrey whipped his camera phone out to capture the free show.
