Thanks for watching and subscribing!
This was truly one of the most awesome and crazy thunderstorms I have seen and heard!
Normally the weather on Guernsey is mild and calm with plenty of sunshine and beautiful clouds. But the weather can blow in and change very quickly as we found out last week when some very lively thunderstorms swept over the Channel Islands and moved directly over Guernsey.
The thunder was extremely loud and is probably the loudest thunder I have ever heard. At one point it was very scary as it felt as though the lightning was very close. Luckily we were in a reasonably sheltered spot. I can honestly say it was the scariest and loudest storm I have ever seen. I guess as climate change takes hold we will experience more of these extreme weather events.

What such thunderstorm could ever possibly get louder??. Phenomanal that this happened during daytime when storms like this always happen during the night!

@Agui007 4 ай бұрын

They were positively charged lightning strikes which are rare and deadly. The normally come from the top of the storms anvil and arise more in high humidity.

@neilgreen8463 10 ай бұрын

Great footage guys and some seriously big lightning strikes nearby! I'm a trained storm spotter and I go out in these every time they are forecast. I can tell you now that the strike that set off the car alarm was very close indeed! I've heard thunder like that only on a few occasions and seen where lightning has struck at the time so have good knowledge of what it sounds like from 100m away or less. That strike in your video was massive and no more than 2 or 300metres away and unless you hear that sound live no audio devices can do it justice as to just how loud it would have been! This is a positive cloud to ground lightning strike and is the only type of lightning that makes that sort of sound! Very well done and thanks for sharing 👍!

I wouldn't say we're brave really...we were standing in a fairly sheltered spot. I certainly wouldn't risk being out on a beach or under a lone tree in a storm like this. But I feel fairly safe by a large building. Fortunately we've never had a fear of storms...we both find them exhilarating.

Thank you, Richard. I love a good storm and needed the laugh as you involuntarily jumped (as did I) with the crashing thunder. And rain! I sure wish our lightning brought that instead of wildfires. On the upside of being evacuated, my son took me to a farm store so I can load up on vegetables to freeze, when I get home, even though my garden seedlings died from heat and lack of water. They also sell started plants, so maybe I'll get a tomato and pepper and pretend I grew them. :) The fire is being held on the other side of the river and all structures have fire suppression systems attached. Hoses attached to the outside water tap with a sprinkler on the roof. So chances are I'll still have a house to go back to. And, of course, the cats are here with me. :) ~ Jon in rural BC, Canada

I hope you are okay with all the smoke. Even here in Toronto we got bad air conditions due to the fires in Northwestern Ontario. The wind is coming in from that direction these days. The odour of the smoke is very distinct even though it's happening so far away. Meantime we are getting a lot of rain here. I've never seen the trees so healthy as this summer. *of course the caterpillars have denuded some trees but most of them are now growing out new leaves like as if it would be spring again.

@beausrsj 11 ай бұрын

The explosive, bomb-like thunder you're hearing is caused by positive lightning. This kind of lightning forms in the upper part of the cloud (which has a high positive charge). These lightning flashes can be 10-12 miles long, which means more energy and more intense thunder. That's why you're feeling the sound in your body, even when the lightning is far away. Spectacular storm, by the way. Thanks for sharing!

We had a storm like that not too long ago. 2 inches of rain. We all ran for our cars from the allotments because yanno, it's uncivilized and we are not allowed to have sheds. I got home and my sweet perma kitten Oscar was hiding in the closet. I picked him up and gave him mega cuddles so reassure him that everything's alright. When I'm home the cats never hide from thunderstorms so I didn't know until then that Oscar is afraid of thunder and lightning. Poor little baby. It's raining here again. Serious stuff. No gardening today unless it lets up at some point.
