Tempest! Art of Nature brings you shockingly beautiful lightning video from around the world.

Tempest! is great for those who don’t want a CPU hungry screensaver running all the time but instead appreciate a gentle artistic reminder from time to time that the machine is still awake. Tempest! runs cool because your CPU rests between lightning strikes.

For best results use a large screen in a dark room. Thunder and rain have been added by popular request. Some people find Tempest! an aid to a meditative state of mind.

A separate screensaver launcher can be downloaded from the "View" menu in the app.

Beautiful

The lightning is fascinating and looks great on a big screen. The thunder is intense. Its as close to a real thunderstorm as you are going to get indoors. Often I run it with just the rain sounds since they are so relaxing.

Tempest!

Extraordinary! Great effects on a big screen. Incredibly soothing thunderstorm. Refreshing.

Tempest puts me in the zone!

I have enjoyed tempest and it relaxes me and gets my head clear, much like a real thunderstorm does. I have a 42" LCD screen in 1080p and a very good set of speakers with great bass response, and it looks and sounds so real with everything setup right, that in a real thunderstorm I get this great experience. I recommend trying it with the blinds closed in the room and using a big TV, which gives the effect of watching the storm out of a large window, and good stereo speakers will really make this feel every bit of one amazing thunderstorm! Well worth setting up the equipment for!!

Send a bolt of lightning!

Just turn out the lights, turn up the volume and be prepared for a very cool show... :o)
