- This Thunderstorm just came from no where last night 23/09/2010. The Storm hit just north of where i was in Kingswinford England we were right on the edge of it as it caused havoc through Wolverhampton and walsall with over an inch of rain falling in just 45 minutes. Some great Lightning shots and Thunder. Check out the first clap of Thunder right at the begining of the film and people screaming with fright! Turn up and enjoy if you like Thunder!!!
2:47 me and the boys out running a storm
Surreal Salami 😂😂😂
Lol
Good one, lol! 😂
geese are like "oh man its a storm, quick get out of the way!"
That is one hell of a cumulonimbus cloud right there mate wow
It is a huge storm cloud
The geese are like "f this, we're out of here!"
Birds have got more brains than we give them credit for!?
This was published the day after my birthday
Positive lightning strike at the beginning caused that bomb-like thunder. Brutal!
I loved storm since I was little even tornado
Absolutely love storms like these yet sadly we don't get them much unlike back in 2005-2010 where we used to always get these big beautiful storms that would last for hours while I would watch it come in, in the pool. The storms I love the most are ones where they're huge and have tons of lightning, hail and thunder as well as lots of rain.
The Great Sloth Lord Here in California thunderstorms are terrible and not even that beautiful they are just tiny thunderstorms
But once we gots a good storm with big hail and heavy rain with a lot of lightning strikes
(kinda scared of storms)
Well sometimes there are severe thunderstorms here
Once we got a really not that great storm it only had one thunder rumble and only a wall of hail but no rain or lightning strikes
Like HOW is that a thunderstorm?
Mabye I'm just dumb
And also there was a tornado here in California it was in mid day in the mountains
Here in kansas we just got a storm early in the morning on July the 4th and it flash flooded like crazy outside we got 9 inches of rain and huge thunder and lightning every sec
@@ganon8109 a Thunderstorm IS A THUNDERSTORM NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL IT ACTUALLY IS
Scary looking there OP. Thor looks very angry!
Those lightning strikes in the video are very bright! If only I knew it was brewing, I would have been there to see it! :(
I've always loved thunderstorms. Every time I hear one coming, my wife and I go out to our front porch and sit out there and watch it. She likes it as much as I do. We have a Victorian home with the wraparound porch with an awesome view of the sky. Perfect for thunderstorms without getting wet... Unless the rain is coming in sideways from heavy wind of course ;-)
Put the kettle on, We'll join ya lol Love storms too.
I always look forward to thunderstorms. But, sitting out on the porch to watch then, you risk getting hit by lightning. My kind of day would be one that is mainly sunny and hot, about 90 degrees or above, being in s serious drought, then ominous clouds begin to move in toward dusk, then you begin to hear distant thunder, which gradually gets closer as the storms near, which leads to heavy overnight thunderstorms, which are perfect for sleeping, and the rains bring gardens and dried out lawns back to life.
Yep this was filmed sept 2010 just west of Wolverhampton UK. The storms are def getting much bigger here :-)
Cheers Lee
Was the thunder severe when you were not filming
West Midlands seem to always get Very big Thunderstorms ⛈ I get massive intense ones
FoxyWeather 123 we don’t anymore lol and thank god 😂😂😂
tamara that’s a good point actually! I hate thunder and I’m constantly checking all the live streams and everything! I live in Staffordshire and the storms always seem to hit towns 20 miles down the road and never us! I’m not exactly complaining though, but I can certainly see us getting more as global warming takes more of a toll. Where I live we are much lower down (altitude wise) than surrounding areas so the storms tend to skirt around us. It’s weird. I have noticed that we get a lot of storms forming over shropshire way and just south of Birmingham, but they rarely pass directly over us.
@@hollylouise1814 Here in Telford, we miss them too. Any storm that is in Shropshire goes by Shrewsbury rather than hit me. The last storm that did hit me was the overnight storm on July 24th, about half one in the morning after I heard the biggest bang for a long time
North west is the same
⛈️
Those birds said, "We're getting the hell out of here!" Nice looking storm there, mate! Greetings from the USA!
In Arizona we usually get insane lightning that strikes on and off for seconds. One time lightning struck in my backyard I was in the bathroom. The flash was bright as a camera flash
@King Ninja haha
Tucson is reportedly the most lightning struck place on Earth. Just massive amounts of water vapour and insane power and blazing heat from the sun turn clouds into colossal batteries that discharge some serious firepower.
This storm seems to be like those they sometimes get in California's Central Valley in the wake of a strong cold front with cold air aloft from the Gulf of Alaska and warm air near the surface blowing from the south or southwest.
Now, that is a Cumulonimbus cloud of epic proportions!
That's Our Country From The West Midlands 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great footage of those ominous skies and the thunder.
The geese were sayin , "quick lads lets scarper before it gets us !"
Joe Ritchie xD you made my dad!
What are you on about ?
Joe Ritchie lol
I absolutely love this video and have watched it many times - brilliant
Wonderful footage of a beautiful storm. I miss thunderstorms! It's barely rained all summer here in the midwest. (USA)
Geese are like: "Aight boys lets out run this storm"
I love days like this over hot clear sunny skies, there is something ominous about it like the atmosphere it brings just before the storm is coming. Shame in the UK we don't get many of these, though with summer approaching I'm hoping we will get some.
However,UK thunderstorms are happening more frequently with each passing year and they are becoming stronger and longer lasting too
I remember that storm, it came over Stafford where I live which is just north of Kingswinford - i remember looking out of our front window and seeing it approaching in the distance and i was like freakishly excited, watched it go over my house (and we live on a hill!).
I distinctly remember how it went really dark (like night time dark) and it was still daytime!
I will always remember it - got some really good lightning shots on my camera!
we never get any in stafford anymore. i'm sure we always used to have them every summer. 2020 was the last one and the best one i've ever seen/captured!
@@summerdreams7949 you will get more in the years to come
i remember this as i was working at the airport at the time it was early evening and from our crew room you could se the entire storm cell. gutted however that it didn't reach us, it just side skirted us.
Nice footage. 5*
loved watching the ducks fly in opposite direction, saying "quick duckies, make a noise, bust a move"lol! Really good video! and I agree, storms here in the UK (Surrey) very rarely happen, we've had a few rumbles of thunder of late but thats all! I miss the Florida storms I've experienced over the years!
Those geese were very wise :)
This is a fantastic video mate, 5 stars.
When I lived in Pendeford, we always got big storms with plenty of lightning.
Fantastic video That's not very often we get that kind of storm in the UK.
Very rare to get storms like this over here, in the UK. Good capture, I love thunder and lightning!
Yea
massive?!?!? THIS IS VERY LIGHT!!!!!!!
Just in case you wanted to know, there is an Air China 747-400 visiting BHX this Saturday 25th June arriving at 1925hrs and departing the Sunday 26th at 1415.
Arrival due to a visit from the Chinese Premier.
Yes I remember this when the then Chinese Premier Hu Jintao came to Birmingham.
Birds - ''Fuck me I'm out of here'' lol
Err not sure about 30 years lol.
cheers thanks for your comments
Lee
I love thunderstorms but my absolute favourite part was the flock of geese at around 2:51! Lovely! :)
I live in Wymondham, Norfolk and all ever get is either light rain, cloud, or sun; thunderstorms nearly always miss us, I can only remember 2 or 3 good ones!
This video recorded 26 lightning strikes/ rumbles of thunder altogether
Omg I was woken up by a storm last night
The Gaming Channel that’s why I’m here 😂😂
We got a bad storm a few weeks ago in Lincolnshire, torrential rain,thunderstorms which was really loud and a very small tornado!
I am Ridiculously high right now and this is fucking blowing my mind
Thats that one up high, thanks for sharing (:
This storm flooded my school
Lucky that u didn't get to go to school
you like....20 now? 👀
or 30 or 26 XD
Apparently, in Willenhall, 28.2 mm of rain fell in just 40 minutes! That's incredible for the UK! :D
Just gotta love a good old thunderstorm
the way our english summer is going ( for a change)..i feel we will get a storm like this ..COME ON!!!!!!
Oh I can hear the boom of lightning in the distance
Very good video, really scarey storm😮😮😮😮😮
My house was in the middle of that thunder it was like night time and was making the windows shake
Great video. I love thunder, subscribed!
0:40 Ooh, a streetlight comes on!
beautiful strong thunderstorm,,about my self,, i love these weather bordered adore
The thunder and lightning from around 3:30 to 5:30 into the video were all exactly 17 seconds apart from when I saw the lighting, until I heard the thunder. Three in a row at exactly 17 seconds. Pretty funny.
Those Canada geese know the score not daft!! Nice vid thanks for sharing
Thats Storm Looks Very Intimadating! WOW!
Thats a pretty scary image at the beginning. Was wearing headphones & was not expecting to get an ear rape from that thunder XD
Great job :)
I was woke by a storm at like 1 am ish sure thunderstorms are meh but gee they're annoying
Surreal Salami yeah same but that wasn't this thunderstorm this video is 8 years old
@@jamesstevenson183 o shit dam
LOL at the camera jolt at the first thunder hee hee. I'm amazed you were out there, I'd have been hidden under the dining table with Bob! x
This is cool not seen one like this for a while last huge one we had in the south uk was September 2016
you jumped on the first thunderclap lol
The time to run is when you see ducks flying from the storm... 2:50 lol
1 year old me: **doesn’t give a crap and continues sleeping**
birmingham seems to always get freak weather... definitely the 'texas' of england lol
But if you go north west Birmingham (Sandwell) you don’t get that much there
Look how dark them clouds are did the storm come this way to u mate or did it turn away
nice vid mate, i miss that little village.
Beautiful
ur brave...i would not stay outside in a thunderstorm i would scream and hide under my bed XDD
That was pretty cool, reminded me of war of the worlds with the girls screaming
My perfect day!!! #gorgeous and breathtaking :p
That is beautiful quality for 2010
Thunder just happened today in Birmingham like a lot, and there were so many flashes happening! in London, there was a bit of lighting.
So Amazing!
great video i used to live in Waterhouses near were you shot this video. not sure if u know it but we had a ace strom one year 2006 i think after a hot spell i was just 6-7 so i freaked out lol me and my bro were playing footy to when a huge lightning bolt shot through the sky and a right over head clap of thunder :0but iam 12 know and i love storms:)
Awesome footage ( Graeme in Kent )
Some beautiful updraughts on this storm and a nicely established base. I have heard that a storm with persistant thunder means the storm has reached it's mature stage and is losing it's strength. I don't know for sure though.
Those birds were getting away from that storm for SURE!!
Miss them years
They seem to be on the increase aswell like this year in Birmingham England. we even had 2 reported supercells pass over the city.
Yeah I encountered the same storm but further up north. When it hit is was the heaviest rain I've ever seen and it flooded my garden and the street within minutes
I live in tornado ally, Fort Worth Texas. You don't want that to happen I promise. Until you've been in a tornado there is nothing you've experienced in your life like it. I didn't hear a train I heard the wind screaming and the sounds of total destruction. When it was over the entire downtown area was destroyed. Giant glass buildings with all the glass blown out and cement and splintered wood everywhere. We have at least one tornado every spring. But we had one this winter also..
Great footage
Thunderstorms are always better before the rain starts.
Didn't you record the thunderstorm of May 19, 2014? I had some thunder then. It was about 6.30ish when it happened xD
That’s one hell of a cell
I lived in Kings Norton that year when the Tornado hit. Now me from Newcastle. We never had stuff like that b4 lol. But that did scare me cos I remember it like it was yesterday. Never touched down in Kings Norton but wow I remember the winds and the rain and the lightening. Had never seen nothing like that in my life. Dont no what it is in the west midlands. T time kicks off a thunderstorm allot lol
We had one just now
I once was in the school hall with my friends and other students doing a dress rehearsal for our school play when a thunderstorm came right above it. It was literally about 200 times louder than this! We watched all the lights go out in our school and everyone started crying ! Hate thunder.
Very impressive storm.
We just had a small storm here in Milton Keynes! (uk) It’s the 18th may 2021 tho
I was in France at the time, I'm so upset, I love storms :( The one time there's a decent one, I'm out of the country :/
I live in Maine so when every i hear 1 thunder boom and GRAY clouds i freak out. i would go into shock if i saw that coming at me.
followed by a severe winter that year
Cool video brah.
Did you flinch at the first roll? :) Gorgeous cloud that one, completely eating the blue sky.
class video lad you should have been standing right smack under the storm to get the full beastly roar of it
fantastic i hope you have fun.
Nasty storm there!
In the description it's minutes not minuets
It depends where you live in the UK. I live in the East Midlands on the Anglia border and we see very few storms here which is a shame because I love t storms. The further North you go in the UK the more storms there seems to be. However, a supercell tstorm hit Hinckley in Leicestershire last week and that produced 3.5" hail and that is only about 30 miles from me.
The geese in this video were saying lets get out of here before we end up roasted
In florda (thunder capatol)I was at the beach i lightning struck the sand 1 mile away from me and my cusins, we got kicked off the beach
As far as more "massive" storms go, having lived in different areas of the Gulf states and S.E. U.S. we do get some whoppers...especially when hurricanes roll through (I was forced to evacuate twice one summer in the '90's from Wilmington, N.C.)...scary...In England, I was working one winter and a pretty big snow storm hit and as a Yank trying to drive (on what was for me the wrong side of the road) was quite challenging!
