Same here. As a kid, I locked myself in the bathroom because there were no windows. But now, being an adult, I chase these beauties if they are close to my home.

Just to add a little worry to your life, I remember seeing a verified incident where an individual in the US was hit by lightning 56 miles from the nearest storm. According to the WMO, the longest officially recorded lightning bolt on earth was 750 kilometres long and was recorded on April 29th 2020. it stretched from Texas to Mississippi.

Lol

EMP of course. Same thing that can stop your heart if you're extremely close to the lightning and also extremely unlucky to have it strike at a certain short interval between heartbeats.

That’s streamers failing to connect to the lightning bolt. If you hear a click before the thunder, you know you’re too close to lightning

@@algodoomarbleracing It's sometimes upward streamers but not in this case. It's a distinct pop you get from the tiny blip of interference in the ADC. Another giveaway is that the pop has absolutely no acoustics, whereas any proper streamer would carry at least a little reverb, being a rather significant electrical discharge. Here's an alarmingly electrical storm that has examples of both. The timestamp of 11 seconds lets you hear a nearby upward streamer, although you may need to turn the volume up / use headphones to catch it. I warn in advance that the actual thunder is loud. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocibY5ihtL2VoWQ.html

@@Asterra2 thanks

I record thunderstorms on my old cell phone & then put them on my ipod touch, it's perfect sleeping weather for me. I occasionally remember to upload my videos to KZfaq as well.😊

​@@Michellethompson5231no se como pueden dormir con ese ruido

​@@Michellethompson5231I will record them on Spring and Summer.

I get easily startled, so I don't like thunderstorms at night when trying to rest. But they're cool.

@@SupportTheArts-yo8ox I like thunderstorms!!!

Several. In this video just a sony handicam and a Lumix GH5M2 with external mics on both sides of the house synced together. :)

É verdade ✅

I was so scared of thunderstorms when I was growing up. I love them now but I still get a little scared when the thunderstorms start dropping tornados everywhere.

I’ve always loved storms growing up, and still do. But about 20yrs ago I went to my girlfriend’s grandparents house for the weekend outside of San Antonio, TX in the hill country. It was perched on a hill with fantastic views, it was a traditional ranch style house with a metal roof (which is important to remember), but we pretty much had to stay inside the whole time because of the weather. Around 7pm, the storm was getting pretty bad. Lots of heavy rain, some light hail, but lots of lightning and roaring thunder. A few minutes later while a bunch of us were still playing poker on their big living room table, a MASSIVE bright flash came from the air duct just above us (which nearly blinded us), immediately followed by the loudest clap any of us had ever heard (that did cause hearing problems for almost a day). It didn’t matter how old how or how young, big or small, male or female, there was either screaming or cursin, and we all somehow leapt from our seats, but jumped under the table as if a bomb had just exploded inside, lol. The house on top of the hill with an AC unit on top of the metal roof was the tallest metal lightning rod around, so naturally, that bolt of lightning shot through the HVAC system and out the vents. That was the scariest damn thing I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been shot at before, lol. Ever since then, if I see lightning while I’m outside, my @$$ is headed inside and away from any HVAC vents.

I'm scared of thunderstorms too they scare me and catch me off guard

@@WakelessXistancedont think anyone was reading all of that lol, you might wanna try to simplify it so people will read it more.

We had these storms back when I lived in IL but since being in VA for 6 years, I never seen these storms anymore:(((

Its called spiders lighting

Currently in Norman finishing my MS in meteorology at OU and looking for jobs, likely in operational forecasting.

The second one was the most beautiful.
