Noticed how you see in that 2nd story house someone turning in the light just before it goes out lol the irony is whoever it was must of gone in there and trip when it went out *lmao* it goes on and BOOM off.

I love storms like that! It's the only reason why i would want to live in the mid west (been there lots, half my family lives there, and i've seen some BIG storms). If we only had those here in Oregon.

At 0:35 that lightning thunderbolt hit somewhere near by 😱

yeah it's funny too. if you see the house across the street someone turns a light on inside just before it struck, i bet that was weird for them.

For me When the power goes out is the best. And trust me, i have been there. the power went out all the time at my old house. It's so peaceful, and quiet. Doing every thing by candle/fire light. Playing board games and drinking games with your roommates and friends all night long. Even stumbling around in the dark looking for a candle is entertaining. It's like camping without having to leave your house.

actually i think that was the glow from the transformer that was hit by lightning, but it was so bright.. and green. it's blue here because the camera tries to correct white balance.

thats was a great setup with the camera. i like how it was pretty silent with the lightning and the positioning of the exterior lighting on the truck and across the street. untill the sound of the crash of lightining striking the transformer close by offscreen, with a bright flash then darkness. it looked like a haunting image. i was almost expecting a dark figure of a man standing out in the street to appear out of nowhere during a few flashes of lighning. then disappear again.

A lot of intense lightning.

I Just wish we had these kind of weather here in greece it's sunset all the time i'm missing a perfectly good storm like that :(

Whoa! i like the Lightning strike at 35seconds it really must of hit something to made it go out, and always hate it when it goes out before the stompomous god dang it thunder...lol lucky for me i got a generator now.

san antonio, tx. this was a couple years ago.. it was a pretty nice storm

Sucks that your power went out. I remember when i lived in the country, we had a blizzard and our power was out for i think 5 days, it sucked. Lucky that your power gets restored so soon :]

That is a BIG GIANT STRONG HEAVY THUNDERSTORM

wow shit when the power went out the lightning lasted for like 2 seconds. Incredible

One stubborn lightning

Was that like a Tornado Warning or something? That is the most massive thunderstorm that you wont be in in a while people

It looked like the camera was playing Tetris. Anyway, that was a HUGE lightning strike, though one has hit in our front yard, so...

@darkernights lol i could imagine someone in that house saying "honey did you pay the electric this month"

that reminds me of when it stormed so bad the transformer was struck by lightning and the transformer flew apart in shreds.its like a huge boom,power out,i climbed the power pole yelled HIT ME!! and sure enough it struck the power pole on which i flew in to my neihbors yard and passed out. i couldn't believe i was alive

Oh ok thanks for letting me know. But in other lightnings vids I have seen lightning do that as in last for a couple of seconds. But I do believe you dont worry about that lol.

prob scared the hell out of whoever turned it on to blackout like 2 secs later lol

The strike was very close and the effect was immediate. Besides the transformer itself, were electronic devices in the homes zapped as well? Here in Germany power distribution to end users via overhead lines in the streets is a rare occurrence, cable is usually the way to go. So instead of many small transformers, we got fewer and larger transformers from 10 kV to 230 V.

but in winter all you need to keep your frozen/chilled food from spoiling is to bring it outside. Besides, there are inexpensive grid-independent heating devices (propane-powered), but I haven't come across any grid-independent air conditioner yet.

I have Solar Panels on the roof that collect energy so in any power outage we get we use the reserve power most of the time only good for 3 hours one time 10 because it was sunny all damn week and then on one of those sudden surprise storms you usually get over the night BOOM brought down a powerpole and we didnt had power for 12 hours, but our reserves kept us good till it went out but we only had to wait an hour before normal power was restored lol, our neighbors were jealous! XD

Que buena vista de la cámara!!

lol, as soon as the person in the house turned on the light, the power went out

wow incredible never seen that in meriden ct

wow, never happened to me.. even when i was kind of in the country.. never more than a day. :)

no it was a pocket camera, point and shoot. Casio EX-Z850

at 0:35 you can see s.o. switching on the light, and after 1 second it is cut off. lol

Somewhere some Call of Duty nerd just said "WE'VE BEEN EMP'D ELECTRONICS ARE DOWN!"

That’s the worst storm I seen just like those pixels

i bet, i've seen some myself. crazy stuff.

So you got a solar system that allows you to sell surplus power to the grid but also charges batteries so that you can switch your complete home over from the grid to the batteries via an inverter? That's what I am dreaming of, and the dream ends with a growl, "and to get it, get the hell out of bed now and work on your German patent attorney qualification."

that storm is more like a lighting storm cause it keeps flashing

This is one ANGRY storm.

Lot of Building Construction

Wow that was nuts

No wonder it looked so familiar lol

someone forgot to pay the electric bill lol

Feel the POWER!

If only we got that kind of weather in England.

The resolution of this video is 192x144. Anyway the transformer exploding is behind the camera, as can be seen in the reflection.

Wow!

San Antonio ,tx. :) on the northwest side.

5 stars!!

Lighting Just Struck Was Blowing A Fuse

There went the power..

I was inside filming from the front window. ;) outside, hahaha yeah right.

hummm! big lightning and out of power:)

@Indestructible229 Well I guess but our last one was last september and there havent been any this summer.

I noticed that just before the power went out, I observed the window on the top floor light up. It was freaky.

oh no the power line is out

wow that must have sucked

pause at 34... theres the sky!!!

yeah lol I saw that too. Good one

it hit's the transformer and blows it, thus power is lost. :( took them .. 3 hours to get it back.

maybe he thought, oops, what a mess, I should better have fixed that faulty lamp... :-)

holy fuck who turned on the sun!!!!

Cool!

yeah, :) probably thought it was his fault. XD

Was there a severe thunderstorm warning?
