Close lightning strike

- Scenes from a super-intense thunderstorm here in Connecticut. A remarkable storm. I opened the front door to get a better view and within a couple of seconds a huge bolt arced out in the street, maybe 75 feet away. There is a park across the street and the next day I found that primary part of the bolt splintered two large trees. Blew the bark right off them.
The second half of the video I shot from under the awning outside my back yard. A scary storm, we get them like this once or twice per summer.
Neat storm! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
the timing! Walking out calmly then bam! lol that happened to me too. It looked like that was even closer then 75ft
Now that's a thunderstorm. I wish I could be there (I love rain). I love your patio too. Nice video.
"Get back in that house! I'm raining here!"
Lightning said "NO PEAKING!!"
he's right about NC, i love our thunderstorms!
Holy CRAP!!!
Nice! That was a very intense storm. I've seen storms like this in Minnesota, but not quite with as many close strikes.
Too bad you didn't capture more, I could have watched this for hours! Thanks for posting. :)
1:06 - 1:08, impressive, great sound!!!
1:06 1:08
@@YuRiSunga Thanks!
the lightnings like "NO. NO FILMING THE RAIN
Reminds me of August 25, 2007, when in Springfield, Vermont when on a porch. ;)
That storm was energized
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT ! I could feel that from here !
I love thunderstorms! Thank you for posting!
I never been outside in a storm like this!
Me either.
"stay away from doors and windows" is always said... this is why.
That was to Damn close!!!
Wow! You have some excellent composure not to make a sound when the lightning hit at around 0:09. I would probably have uttered some profanity if lightning struck that close. I also love how at 0:48 through 1:10 there's a series of 4 strikes getting closer.
that lightning strike at 1:07 reminds me of a luncheon we had in back in the 80's it hit a piece of tin roof in the yard
Homie opened up the door and the lightning was like. . . . Uh uh, not today satan
Enjoyed your comment, Josh. Scared the crap out of me, but glad I got it on video. Having a lot of views has been a kick.
Guy Yocom awesome video dude, that strike was so close. I hope you check out my videos. 😊
0:09, 1:03-1:08, 1:23
BEST THUNDER EVER!
especially 1:03-1:08, because you have the rumble of the first big strike, then you get a crash of another close strike too!
SIX star video :)
Great vid Guy! Wish I could have captured the lightning strike that hit a tree 50 from my neighbor's apt when I was there. The thunder from it just about blew my ears out, even with my fingers in them. Tree died and got cut down earlier this year, but I remember in Sept 2006, I was riding the Metro bus in Portland, Maine when, right next to the airport's runway, the bus I was on got struck by lightning. That was quite the adventure. Lol!
About 10 years ago, a little 20 foot tree at the corner of home was struck by lightening. All we heard was a loud BANG, as though a stick of dynamite fired off. I looked outside and noticed that the tree trunk was split in half and was steaming. That was interesting.
that is possible, but usually the"snapping" sound heard a split second before the strike is caused by the positive streamer coming off the ground connecting with the negatively charged stepped leader. It also indicates you are extremely close to the discharge.
Kind of like when you get a shock from a spark and you hear that snap sound. Same thing but on a larger scale.
I feel like I’m reading these comments through a time machine.
Really intense! And no close strike or even multiple is going to hold you back?? Dude! :D
Wow, that is a close lightning strike indeed!
That happened here last night at about 3 in the morning! Since it was not raining yet my mom thought a bomb had gone off nearby or something.
the 1:06 strike, is so loud it kinda reminded me of a gong being banged to hard. lol. That's awesome. :)
same but I was in a dark ally way
this is just crazy, that lightning bolt was super close. Intense thunderstorm indeed!
This video is insane!!!! I love watching this video. It always scares the crap outta me when the tree gets hit by that bolt. :D
The lightning: "GET BACK INSIDE!!" >:-D
amazing video
lol it's funny that when there's a loud thunder the camera shakes :P
Dude was insured 🚗 no peep when hit ⚡⚡⚡⚡💥
If you pause at the right time you can hear the sound of the bark snapping and a little part of the lightning hitting the street.
Wow that's under lightning at the beginning that scared me😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
lol the tree felt thy wrath!
Your lucky it did not bounce off the tree. My aunt was struck that way the lightning bolt hit a tree and shot right through her open door knocking her unconscious.
the first one would have scared the crap out of me!
@dingutscal Actually it hit two large trees across the street. Blew the bark off them and melted the blacktop at their base. The bolt arced into the middle of the street. It missed the tree you're referring to.
Very nice !
unfortunatley canada doesnt have wild weather like this
Excellent and clean video- no talking or swearing.
"Oops, I think I peed myself."
One mean storm - awesome
This must have been one of those real nasty storms if it was the same day you posted this or during that week. Because that same storm ripped through here in NJ and killed 1 person and seriously injured another while they were standing under a tree.Don't know what they were thinking!
1:08. That lightning and thunder were exactly on time. You shuddered big time dude that's scary hahah
WOW... That's what it is like in a Florida Thunderstorm...
TH-cam: yea lets recommend this 13 years later
It was a while ago for sure. That old man car in the driveway is long gone. Sure was a great car, though.
You have a pretty yard. I wish we got rain like that in Texas
THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN 10,000 VIEWS CAUSE THIS IS FREAKIN CRAZY btw HOW THE HELL DID U NOT SAY ANYTHING AFTER THE FIRST 1 HIT!!
dayum that WAS insane
You have a nice garden ^^
Dang i wa eating cereal during that first blast, u must piss the gods off that day!
The clouds are showing their power.....
That was insane!
To catch something like that on film is to be able to submit it to some home video show to get money. Absolutely shocking. I would LOVE to get that on film lol.
definitely a some sweet blasts, that first one, you had to have felt some. Lightning is unimagineably powerful. Had a bolt hit right over my head when i was a kid. Sent me flying. That nice crispy snap from it. I still hear it in my ears.
Cool story bro.
1:08 is CRAZY
Wow! the lightning strike not more than a half mile away from you...
Great Sound! :)
0:28 What an emergency to deliver pizza!
West Haven, across from Painter Park. Took out two big trees across the street.
Damn thats the closest lighning video ive ever seen. You can almost see where it hits at the edge of the screen
holy shit dude that's some wicked thunder
I was like 19 days old when this video was made, but wtf was that lightning? 😂
holy shit :D thanks for sharing this with us!
Lightning strikes.
One of my biggest fears.
Although most don't survive being struck it's still Amazing with the power anyone who is struck and lucky enough to survive.
If you’re struck and survive-and a lot do-I think it changes your outlook on everything. The ultimate second chance.

Woke up .
Can't sleep.
Open TH-cam and damn.
Another death.
A couple at the Whitehouse touring.
Guess it happened yesterday.
Sad. RIP.
Good shots. I have a Lesabre like that. Looks like it just missed it.
O wow fabulous beautiful this my favorite vedeo lighting thunderstorm heavy rain and sound lighting bolts very 👍 I love 💕 this
I've been that close to lightning before, it is LOUD!!!
damn just as you open the door lol
Holy Moly!
the awning is a very dangerous place to be during a T storm Great video
Do I hear a detector in the background? Beep, Beep
The awsome power of nature. Don't mess with her.
Nice capture. I liked the thunder at the 1:07 mark. The bolt had to hit at least 40 feet from where you were. Now where you were standing was at a bit of a tedious place. This still deserves a 5 star rating for sure.
Wow. One time it was storming at my house and I was gonna go outside (why I don't know) and I tried to open the door but it was stuck and then right before I opened it all of a sudden lightning struck right on the other side of the door and I just thanked God that the door was stuck because that was scary
Parts of Canada do... I just saw a few vids of Manitoba tornados.
wow, all these ones were INSANE!!
0:09, 1:02, 1:07 (those 2 combines, sounded SCARY!!) and finally, 1:24
this is my fav. video!!
eeeeeeee August 2021, anyone?
epic lightning
Man: "Is it safe to come out I wonder...." *tentatively opens door*
Zeus "Rarrraraggghhhh !!! ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ ϟϟϟϟ"
It sounds like you got one of those lightning detectors bleeping in the background, are they any good ?? I might get one of those. Great footage by the way
Waw!! I would love to visit Connecticut just for the storms! The second video is impressive, after a first close stroke, not even 5 seconds later a very close one strikes again!
New England electrical storms are somewhat underrated. T-storms can be intense anywhere, but up here they have a way of feeling extra close.
Never seen such a thunderstorm like that!!! OMG!!!!
Holy Batfart!
SWEET!
That scared the hell outta me! XD
Aren’t you deaf after hearing all that lightning striking nearby??
god of thunder
something like that happened to me when i was on a highway
Boi that's scary
@bouceystix that would be watever it struck (i.e. a tree) getting vaporized lol... btw the lightning strikes only 4 seconds after the door is opened! That's epic!!!
Thats very intense.........
that looks like some REALLY intense storm.. where do you get lightning detectors and how much do they cost?
Oh my god !
This is Crazy lightning!
5/5
Yeah I agree with you at the beginning it was loud in with lightning strike😨😨😨😨😨 is in boom out loud as you can and I was freaking out let me show you emoji🤯🤯🤯🤯
I thought, before I read the blurb, that you must have lived in Florida! 😂
Diane, it definitely was Florida-like!
DO NOT SHAKE WHEN THE LIGHTING IS HERE
Actually that should be "Extremely close lightning strike"
Just keep hitting "1" over and over!! LOL
Nature telling you to stay inside
Top video
damn, nice!
