Details:
On the night of Aug 15, 2021 I was monitoring the sky above Tropical Storm Grace as it was approaching Puerto Rico. I had my 3 watec cameras recording and when one of them detected a very distant Gijantic Jet I headed to the roof with my Sony A7s camera. Soon after I set up my Sony I got my first hit, a negative polarity sprite followed later by a Jellyfish sprite and then a huge Gigantic Jet. There were also Elves and a halo but my Sony couldn't detect them through the heavy light pollution from a nearby town and the far-off distance that these events were appearing at. I was happy with just capturing what I did because when Tropical Storm Fred was in the area it didn't produce any TLEs. I guess not all Tropical Storm systems have the DNA to produce TLEs, Lol.
