I live in France, near the Swiss border, I wish I saw a lightning storm like you experienced. We have tstorms here but rather they give a few lightning strikes at maxima in a miles radius, not like you experienced on the video, so many in a close range you got!

2:49 IT WAS LEGIT IN YOUR GARDEN WOW

Dude, those upward leaders in your yard! And at one point, you could hear the crackle snap sizzle of the main bolt making the connection. I love it when you see upward leaders.

4:40 That lightning looks scary. ⚡️

When I was six we had a severe thunderstorm one afternoon in August 1985, our house was struck by lightning during the storm along with about a dozen others in about a mile radius of ours (North Aberdeenshire countryside). It’s one of my most vivid childhood memories, right down to the engineer from the hydro electric telling my Mum he’d never seen storm damage like it before. I absolutely love a good thunderstorm but I’ll always be aware of how dangerous they can be.

Wow!! So many of those were just terrifyingly close!!

I just love thunder and lightning, I always know when it's going to happen by the clouds and how the air smells

4:28 literally in your garden! 😂😂

Awesome storm capturing! Three awesome thunderbolts recorded...Cool!

Very nice captures mate sounded like artillery shells going off

Hey, really scary lightning, double strikes loud thunder, don't think my nerves could have stood a storm like that. A lot of changes of underpants. Thanks for being so brave and videoing that storm!!

I love severe thunderstorms like this one 🥰

BRUH starting at 0:09 … watch 👀👀👀….. there was literally a lingering thin streamer of a lightning bolt LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO YOU in your backyard 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 WOW

2:48 Looked like those bolts of lightning were dancing

not to be a party pooper coz this is a a decent video. but those that appeared to be in your garden was actually the reflection of the lightning in your camera lense. Actual strike was few hundred yards away

Nice step leader in your yard 😲

I think you captured what they call a "step leader" from the main lightning strike......if it was the main lightning strike then it would have been intense white and your windows would have really rattled and you would have dropped the camera with the shock of it and quite possibly thrown you backwards a bit with the soundwave......as a rule you can tell if the lightning strike has fallen towards you by the sound of the thunder....the crackling sound directly after a strike indicates overhead and you can usually hear the thunder rumble on for sometime....the other is when you see a bright and fierce lightning strike and a few seconds passes before you hear the thunder as a rolling and muffled noise indicating the strike has fallen away from you. Good footage well shot.

I love the stepped leader. Very hard to capture.

Lots of CGs!

Fabulous footage and beautiful stills of the lightning. Very well done and thanks for sharing this stunning video. 😃👍

Great photography ty

Great video. The sounds are so relaxing!

I got the fear just watching this!

This is terrifying 😳 so much braver than me!

That was a beautiful though dangerous storm due to the postive lightning strikes.

Nice! What date and time was this storm?

0:11 was the first lightning strike

Im crying 😢😢😢😭😭

Camera effect - the strike was a few hundred yards away. Still pretty impressive though!

Blimey !

Thats a fantastic storm by British standards. I moved to Florida 5 years ago; British storms are no match for the insane summer storms over here. Its not uncommon for fork lightning to strike every few seconds at the front of a storm

I didn't know that England gets thunderstorms.

Is so dangrous 😟😟😢

Hello England

Be careful in doing something guyzzz

Looks like that one at the very end touched down in your back yard neighbor's yard.

OMG

Hello, I hope you're well. I'm currently working on a documentary about extreme weather throughout 2015 and was wondering whether I could talk to you about potentially using some footage from your lightning storm video in the documentary? The programme is using segments of user generated content to paint a picture of extreme weather throughout 2015, and it would be fantastic to use some of your footage in the film. It would be great if you could email me at guy.baillie-grohman@raw.co.uk so we can discuss the details. Thanks very much for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. All the best, Guy.
