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!

    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. :)

    @meteormanmike 15 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

  • @jack5505

    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!

  • @natureboihikes162
    @natureboihikes162 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @DougDaCosta

    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.

  • @sicilian12345
    @sicilian12345 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    @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.

    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.
