Pretty sure that's actually wise. You want the car to form a completely unbroken surface around you in order to create a Faraday cage. If your vehicle is struck the lightning will, hopefully, travel over the surface of your car and discharge to the ground, without ever energizing the inside of the vehicle. Would also be wise to put down the camera and take hand off the dash as if the car does become energized, the current will likely leap through electrical components.
*i have a severe storm phobia, if I hear distant lightning in the slightest I get violently panicked and start to freak out. It’s the noise that freaks me out since I always hated loud noises since I was a kid. I’m going on a wilderness camp all week next week and I’m scared it’s gonna storm. Ironically though, you’re videos really help me, seeing how people like you can be so brave in storms makes me realise that even though they are dangerous, you can still find beauty in them and enjoy them.*
Storm chasing is definitely a bit dangerous but I do it to witness the beauty of these storms, there’s nothing quite like it on Earth. I can definitely understand having a phobia of storms though, they can be and are extremely dangerous sometimes. The lightning barrage in this video absolutely would have killed us if we weren’t inside our cars which acted like faraday cages protecting us from the strong electric fields and the bolts themselves. It’s always important to remember that’s it’s extremely unlikely you will ever suffer any direct harm from storms but it’s not irrational at all to fear them.
Don’t feel bad. I absolutely hate lightning. I like it when it’s in the distance. It’s pretty to see especially at night and I like to hear thunder in the distance. There’s no sound more menacing and that is able to instill an uneasy feeling of danger approaching than the deep, low rumble of thunder in the distance. I like to hear that sound. But, once the lightning gets close I hate it. I know what lightning can do to a person, a house, electronics, animals, etc. what bothers me the most though is simply the fact that you have no idea where the next strike is going to be. It makes me a nervous wreck. I used to live in Baton Rouge and that place is a lightning magnet. They get storms almost every afternoon in the summer months, although they can pop up at any time day or night. Almost every storm is packed full of lightning. A storm one evening stalled overhead after popping up from nothing directly overhead. The sun was still shining bright and I had no idea that any clouds were anywhere in sight. At least until I heard a small click sound with a flash and then less than a second later the crack of thunder. For the next 20 or 30 minutes almost every lighting strike was accompanied by a click or spark sound in my apartment at the exact time as the flash, followed by a crack of thunder 1/2 to 1 sec later. I was absolutely terrified. It wouldn’t end! I just knew my apartment was going to get hit by lightning. Fortunately, it started to weaken and then rained itself out. One morning that winter I was getting ready for work. We were supposed to have a chance of severe weather that day. The gulf coast has a severe weather season through the winter months. It was pouring the rain but the only thunder I heard was a deep boom somewhere in the area about once every 10 minutes or so. I’m assuming that they were positive strikes. All of the sudden as I was about to walk out of the door my living room lit up almost bright enough to blind me, followed by the most intense explosion sound I have ever heard. It hit a tree about 100 yards or less from my apartment. I’m surprised I didn’t have a heart attack before leaving down there and moving back near my family. I wanted to share those little stories to let you know there are plenty of others out there just like you.
Dayum, being so close to so many CG lightnings must be absolutely terrifying. I can tell you were pretty happy to be in your car at that moment. That frequency of CG lightning this close is absolutely absurd. Glad you guys are ok, could have been very dangerous with the windows open
I've seen videos of positive lightning barrages with no more than 5 seconds between strikes. One of the people filming such a video remarked that it was going to burn some of the houses down. What these videos had in common was very little rain or wind as the tightly spaced barrage was going on. I wonder if the lack of wind and rain could be a clue as to what causes an area to become that highly energized.
I respect and admire what you do. This is great footage, and the seagull noise you make at 2:24 is GOLD 🤣 Curious about the audio during the 'close' strike? That loooong zap 😯
1:32 you’re a lucky boy. Clicking buzzing noises aren’t what you want to hear during thunderstorm. This is some of the craziest storm footage I’ve ever seen. The frequency of CGs is ridiculous. If you were standing out in one of those fields the chances of you getting struck are honestly decently high.
Impressive Barrage! As with all supercell thunderstorms with a powerful updraft, getting a barrage of Negative staccatos striking within the updraft is widespread. You practically positioned yourself right underneath the updraft feeding into the mesocyclone (You will always get the most strikes alongside the RFD & slightly on the southern/southeastern flank of the supercell), where the highest intensity is going to be. I've told fellow chasers here in Illinois that if you want to avoid getting bombarded with strikes at close range, position to the west side of the RFD or a few miles west. I can see that you were prepared for a close one at 1:05. Pretty sure at that point, you were feeling the static in the air, and you just knew it was going to happen. 1:32, it happened. Listen closely at that mark before the shockwave reaches you a millisecond. That "Click" is the closest nearby upward streamer emitting from the tallest object on the ground (i.e., telephone pole). It is also that from the EMP charge that gets picked up on cameras and all that. It sends a shockwave that travels no more than 1,000 feet from the base of the strike.
As someone who is mechanically inclined and obsessed with how mankind has bent the laws of nature to our will, there is something so captivating, beautiful, and terrifying about so much unbridled, uncontrollable, raw energy. I love these storms, as much as they terrify me they captivate me and draw me in.
0:25 in and I was already jealous. Well that was kinda until some of the hairier strikes towards the end. Then I was was feeling a little bit of the heebie jeebies. Some of those strikes had to be a lot closer than dang 50 feet. Yikes….. Fantastic footage…….. ⚛️☮️⚡️🌏
happened to me while fishing outside of Aspen, CO about 30 years ago. I curled up under a washed out bank for about 10 minutes. It actually felt PERSONAL.
There's something both terrifying and mesmerising about lightning strikes. I cannot resist them and will always go out in a storm to watch and photograph - even though it's quite a stupid thing to do (I don't have a car to act as a Faraday cage).
Aaaaaah what a wicked lethal storm!😁What a perfect storm this was and I love the constant barrage of lightning! I am 💯% convinced that the high humidity produces deadlier lightning.
Dangerous and incredibly beautiful. If you feel your hair about to stand up it's really time to get in the vehicle if not sooner. Awesome sound and photography though.
oh my god the one at 0:45 was so close that you could hear the tiny discharge of static off the metal, that's absolutely terrifying edit: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
to me it sounded like a hailstone hit the car. but jsut 1 , your theory sounds more plausible than mine. thats way to close. Maybe a step leader that the camera didnt see?
It sounded like something hit the car, but the idea of it being a step leader coming off the car that the main bolt didn't connect with is incredible, terrifying, and awesome.
On August, 2020, SF east bay CA, 3:30 in the morning, woken from a deep sleep: a painfully loud explosion sound, windows rattling, like a bomb being dropped on the neighbors house. I actually thought world war three had started for a moment and woke up in terror...
ben struck before and spent days in hospital. When you suddenly taste a bloody penny in a storm and then smell a smell like the biggest burned out bulb ever duck. Thats all I remember sort of. Now I have heart issues that require pills twice a day and can't use lasers for target shooting for some reason as they die. Just let me grab the most expensive one you have and you will panic when it dies in my hand. The harder I grip the deader the laser. . A trick I have done for doubters at many gun shows. The scar along my side is amazing and so is the hearing loss in my left ear. Stay inside when the thunder rolls if you can or you may end up like me or be killed out right.
...I herd it again while awake opened my eyes and saw the blinding light: positive lightning had struck the tree across the street twice in short order, splitting the trunk and causing it to partially collapse over the utility line, causing damage to part of it.
1:32 by casuality did your car Shake during that Lightning strike or something else? That could mean you might be struck by a Lightning. Is a posibility
Wow where was this? I use to go to florida every summer and it reminds me of the florida thunderstorms. I was also in a house that was struck by lightning many ears ago there too. The airconditioning exploded and the house was set on fire. It was one of those bolts from the blue strikes. I am also blind so you can imagine after that experience how scary I find the florida thunderstorms.
@@CeltonHenderson interesting. Near Kansas city? I have not experienced thunderstorms in kansas. But i have listened to many videos of storms in the midwest. The thunder seems to sound quite different in the midwest to my ears. I assume that this was a supercell, and that cape values were well in excess of 3000, 4000 j/kg?
@@CeltonHenderson Very interesting. Do you guys ever get derechos with extreme lightning rates? For instance, the derecho/mcs that moved through northern illinois and northwest indiana on August 4 2008. On that day, dew points were in the 80’s, cape values were in excess of 5000 j/kg. Here in Ireland, you’d be lucky to get 5 days of thunderstorms per year. We don’t have as much instability on the European continent as the US. Nevertheless severe thunderstorms do occur especially in the mediterranean during the fall months. The western mediterranean in particular due to strong jet-streaks and a very warm mediterranean sea . CAPE values around 3000 j/kg are common. This phenomenon is known as a mediterranean epesode, and can lead to devastating flash floods and very high lightnning rates. But CAPE values higher than 3000 j/kg are extremely rare in Europe., usually only occuring once every few years. I am also aware that in Florida, the setup in summer is often high instability but very low windshear. I study meteorology in my free time so i’m really interested in atmospheric setups etc. . On very rare occasion’s mesoscale convective systems hit the UK, setup is usually a low pressure system in the bay of biscay and an upper level trough moving into southern UK from France. Although these systems are often elevated.
I was a storm chaser for 20 years and I have to say, you were too damn close. Lightning IS incredible but it is way more deadly. I have had two close strikes. The only thing that saved me was rain boots and standing in the door frame. The last one struck a metal fence post. It felt like someone had bitch slapped both ears and entire body ached for a week
Yup, that’s the sound the upwards streamers make right before they make contact. I’ve unfortunately been close enough to hear that sound on several different occasions lol.
Looks too risky & very dangerous but a very fun experience by standing only 50 feet away from a possible fatal lightning strike. Where was this filmed at and when did it take place?
Thats what happens when the storm is close to or may form a tornado. You get lots of very dangerous CG lightning. the car is the safest place to be during this. alot safer than being outside tbh. I like storms but this kind of lightning would keep me inside for sure!
Between the beautiful lightening bolts and the deafening crashes of thunder we are drawn in with each .Our heart races and although we are scared we stay, because we know that if we walk away we will miss the next spectacular strike.I love this kind of weather.⚡
On August 16'th 2020, 3:30 AM, SF east bay, CA, I was woken in terror from a deep sleep by an explosive painfully loud boom that caused the windows to shake. I thought it was a bomb at first and world war 111 had started, as I wasn't expecting it and there was no rain. Then I heard it again: positive lightning had struck the tree across the street twice, splitting it's trunk and causing it to partially collapse over the utility line.
The resulting California firestorms lasted for months, burning unprecedented millions of acres and turning the sky a murky orange so we could only see a few blocks at it's worst. We were always coughing with the taste of smoke and the feel of grit in our mouths during the rest of that horrific summer.
You could literally have been struck and died there. The lightning could have easly struck at your phone when the window was open. You guys can be lucky to be alive.
Lightning 50 feet away and dude rolls his window up for protection 🤣
Yeah that’s my buddy Chris for you lol
