Insane Positive CG Lightning Barrage!

September 7, 2021 Northern Illinois severe thunderstorm event.
The storms had a complex charge structure which led to continuous positive CG lightning strikes from the core at times. They were high peak current strokes (most in the 80-110kA range) so they were loud too. Several of the flashes also featured positive re-strikes which are not so common.
Video shown 8x slower and 40x slower, thunder does correspond to each stroke shown.

Thanks to Tom A. Warner and other lightning physicists and researchers who have helped me understand lightning processes explained in my videos. Tom has created a great resource for individuals interested in learning how lightning works.

FRAME-BY FRAME AND DATA FOR EVERY STROKE FROM THIS EVENT: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6ynl65kzq-yo6s.html By the way, MidwestStormChasing was about 10 minutes east of me and he was right underneath a +CG barrage. Check out his video for some REALLY close range +CG strikes! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9mShN2qqNTbo58.html

I love how in the second to last clip you could actually see the positive leaders seeking out a negative charge before the circuit completed itself. There were even some faint recoil leaders visible.

Great video. I love lightning as I always try to video positive lightning strikes whenever a storm comes rolling through town.

It's so weird to see multistroke positive lightning, it's kinda rare! Amazing shots, as always!

The frequency of positive restrikes is definitely one unique aspect about this event. I've only seen them in the occasional video over the years. Looks like one flash had two restrikes (three strokes total). This is VERY rare for +CGs, and I've only seen that in one other video. Also the physics for positive restrikes is completely different from that of negative restrikes. At some point lightning scientists believed it to be physically impossible for a positive restrike to occur!

@@thelightninghunter23 It's so interesting! This is exactly why I'm almost as fascinated with lightning as I am with tornadoes!

Probably a dumb question 🙋🏻‍♀️ What’s up with the beeping right before or during the lightening?

@thelightninghunter23 2 жыл бұрын

My YI camera. I've been contemplating turning the beeping off, however it helps me with finding the exact times of the individual clips. I currently use two cameras and an audio recorder; I timestamp the audio files at the start of the recording and then match video clips to the audio recordings.

@@N.Sardone Now that I watch the video again, I realize you hear that quite a bit. I'm just that used to it I guess... I never really noticed it too much in my videos but I can see viewers getting annoyed by that. The specific cause of that sound is me stopping/starting a recording. I do this to prevent excessive file sizes and right after strikes so that I can find them easier while reviewing footage... that's why it comes up so much in this video because I'd stop/start after every strike.
