Details:
These sprites were captured over the tropical wave that later became Tropical Storm Gordon. They were captured on the night of Sept 1 2018 while the wave was generating numerous lightning strikes per minute just west of Puerto Rico.
Sprites will usually appear in the decaying phase of a storm system and over the stratiform region of the storm cell. My animation of this storm cell will show that to be the case with this storm system.
