Intense Cloud to Ground lightning strikes with loud exploding thunder as severe storms track across the Chicago area. Video shot on the southwest side near Midway Airport

How to easily tell the difference in Amperage in CGs: 0:04 is a weak 40Ka Negative leader about 1/4 away. 0:21 is a strong 55Ka Negative leader, same distance.
Note that the first one isn’t a “crash” and instead a near quiet fizzling “crack”.

The most intense thing about this video was not one, not two, but three giant logos and copyright notices splashed all over the screen. C'mon.

[@Kristoff3069]

Protecting copyright. Get that straight and clear sir. I don’t think he would want anybody to steal videos. Hello from 365 days later.
