I was in a loud boiler room with noise cancelling headphones and felt the power of this storm. Thanks for capturing these, as always!

At 213pm, in Lake Saint Louis, it was the loudest I've ever heard. Incredibly loud.

Lightning is the coolest freaking thing in storms imo. Great footage Dan! 🙌🏽

Great lightning captures! IMHO you're the best at high-speed filming lightning and doing the vid edits with them 👍👍
For those who might not know this sound is caused by a low dense air layer confining and concentrating the sound waves. Further away it would be heard as 'rolling thunder'. If you know the language, storms can talk too!

Great footage. I love it!

[@vindictivetiger3958]

Yeah, I heard those today... it was nuts!!

[@AngelWhisper_7]
