fantastic thunderstorm lightning tornado wind storms

A thunderstorms and generates over a million volts and bolts pure minutes

we used to get storms like this all the time, don’t even know what happened😮

You are in the middle of two thunderstorms, I would be in the toilet changing my underwear, what a night - like armageddon

Common with tornadoes, but you can get some pretty intense lightning in regular storms too.

I see that frequently during the thunderstorm season in my country

Thank you very much!

Yes it was!

the lightning was definitely making itself known...

I was

Oh for sure definetly!!

Thank you 🙌

thanks for your input. glad you enjoyed the video.

Yea. America is the place to be for storms man.

​@@JDintheDMV Pretty impressive in Canada. It is important to recognize where to go and what the storm is doing.

Thank you very much!

🤩😍🥰😇

it's okay, it's only a video. :)

They are!

Thanks for watching!

@@richeyrich You're welcome!

yes, the derecho that wrecked all of central Iowa occurred last that day. check out my video of my drive through Cedar Rapids, IA 4 weeks after the derecho roared through - it was still a mess down there. Incredible tree damage.

storms like this one are actually common here in the upper midwest and the ones I have put on video happen in the late summer/early fall.

@@richeyrich The most intense storms I’ve been through where I live in New York have always come down from Québéc moving due south-southeast.

Yes they are!

I will make a longer one for you next time!!! ; )

@@richeyrich yessss I love thunderstorms !!! Thank you!

the clouds were strange. Even more strange was I was between storm cells. Didn't get a lot of rain - I must have missed the other storm that rolled in later - but I had to get to sleep since I have to wake up at 4am for work.

I hear that the most intense lightning is around the Tallahassee area and around that part of Florida. I would love to witness a waterspout there!!!

@@richeyrich I lived in Highland county, Central FL. I never saw a water spout, but I'll tell you this: On my way home from Florida Hospital, Wachula, where I worked as a social worker, in June 2003, I drove home in a near tornado that hadn't been warned because there were no sirens. Lightening was flashing, shooting and rolling everywhere, the sky was teal-green, the mammatus clouds were outlined in black, and the gusts of wind kept lifting the back tires of the agency van I was driving off the ground. Scarier than anything was the funnel cloud hovering over the farmland a few mere miles away. The cattle had their backs to it, standing there like statues. I'll never get over that!! NEVER!! Fortunately, the funnel never touched down, and by the time I got to Sebring it had dissipated. But that was a hairy experience, and that's why I'm a diehard advocate for having tornado sirens. Sometimes a cell phone signal can be interrupted in rough weather and not everyone, including myself, have weather radios. It was shear luck that tornado I drove in dissipated; if there'd been a siren, I would've known to wait before driving home!!

@@PJBovio it would have been a harrowing experience to say the least. i love adrenaline rushes, tho'.

If you lived here, you would soon be used to them and want worse!!!

I once travelled by train at night and we were surrounded by constant lightnings from all sides. That was terrifying and I was expecting it would hit the train any second. But everything was fine in the end.

Glad you enjoyed it

HELLO!!!

We typically get these types of storms when there is a large and persistent amount of high heat in the summer just to our south and west. Energy from the northern rockies sweeps down and develops these types of storms. The Derecho of 2020 was formed by the same elements that produced these heavy storms in Minneapolis.

thanks for those times. I appreciate that.

thanks.

it was!

Thanks 🤗

The storm I recorded was 9 or so hours before the derecho started. I don't believe either was associated with the other, but the severe weather setup in the midwest certainly created the ingredients for both storms.

Correct Hermanus... All these CG's were positive. The biggest tell is the one stroke and subsequent bead out of the bolt...

it was, thx

Thanks 🤗

Please share it. Thanks!!!

it was an amazing storm.

nice light show

you are absolutely correct. I knew that too! see what it looked like 4 weeks after the storm hit in Cedar Rapids: see link.

When all the right weather ingredients come together, such lightning storms are a common element. About 12 hours later a massive derecho came through the midwest and did destructive damage in six states.

thx, i appreciate that!!

thanks for watching. I will definitely check out your channel.

Glad you enjoyed

did that S lightning bolt look cool?? Really weird looking.

we have this kind of storm at least once every few years. I have two other videos that have almost the same amount of lightning flashes, but this video is the best of non-stop lightning that I have.

I love when these types of thunderstorms happen. Especially with all the +cg lightning.

but you get fierce winds there in the fall and winter...
