An insane lightning barrage with a supercell thunderstorm moving across Delmarva, Delaware. Large rotating mesocyclone with consistent cloud-to-ground lightning along route 13 in Bridgeville, Delaware. Several transformers were struck in the vicinity, knocking power out to many. Reports of a person being struck near Redden Road in Bridgeville. Severe wind gusts 60-70 mph ongoing within the rotating mesocyclone.
We live about 15 minutes from Bridgeville - down 404 on the Maryland side. And this storm was the most wicked one we’ve had! Extremely scary! Lightening struck the pole at our house that the transformer sits on. It struck one of our electrical outlets in our house causing sparks to fly! Thank GOD the surge protector did it’s job! Great footage you have here! Thanks for sharing!
@144,000 seconds til midnight: What sort of absolute mumbo-jumbo fuckery are you talking about?
Thank YOU for sharing, also!
My 4 Sons YIKES😱
when did this thunderstorm happen? i know the video was postong on sept 3rd but just wondering the real date it happend? and i wonder if canada can get this thundrestorm....i get thunderstorms to but more smaller but never got this kind yet..
@@philtmnt8956 It happened on September 3rd, you can look at past radar and see this behemoth form NW of DC and travel for >100 miles.
It's terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time.
That is easily some of the most intense lightning I’ve ever seen.
I'm a storm chaser going on 20 years and lightning is by far my favorite to snap buuuuut, this is by far the most insane, frequent, vivid and beautiful lightning I've seen. My God. I'm absolutely speechless. 😳
That is one hell of a lightning show
Would like to hear the sound of thundering
@@irjamatinmikko6680 you can hear it loud and clear
I don’t blame the guy. Who would want their windows open to listen to the thunder better when there’s actually a somewhat decent chance of getting struck. Better safe than sorry.
👏👏That is one of the BEST storm coverages I have ever seen! Absolutely stunning. Stay safe.
Wow!! Loud storm!!!! Glad you didn't go outside your car on that one. 👍⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ stay safe on your next storm ❤❤❤.
That’s some of the best lightning I’ve ever seen.
I live in New Jersey and I remember learning about this storm. It struck portions of South Jersey once it exited Delaware. This is insane as monster type storms like this one only tend to occur out in the plains and are NOT really associated with the east coast. The worst and most memorable thunderstorm that I experienced here in New Jersey occured roughly 12 years ago now on September 16th 2010. That storm went on to produce two tornadoes in NYC in both Brooklyn and Queens. Two people were killed by those storms that day. I will never forget that event.
I keep wishing that there were more videos that focused on the whole meso, not just tornadoes. Thanks for this amazing footage of an incredible event.
That is sick !😳. I love thunderstorms except when they get seriously dangerous and that’s scary looking. Can’t stop watching.
This is the best lightning barrage video I’ve ever watched. I’ve rarely seen that many close CG strikes in a rain-free area, that was insane.
That reminds me of the lighting scene in War of The Worlds!!
luvv dat movie 😉
That is fucking terrifying;
this is the sh*t that nightmares are made of,
from the beginning of time ☠☠
😬😬
It's 2020... just wait
That’s one of my favorite movies
Texas weather.
There's some power in those lightning ⚡ strikes...
@Mike Veis JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY and HE IS, what will it take to wtf up the people, go to end times and the two preachers on TH-cam regarding end time footage globally, AND THEY SHALL INCREASE, wait and see 😭
I couldn't stop watching that one funny little (square shaped) cloud moving towards the line pole! Lol
Rewatched for the incredible show you captured!
what is that thing? It's not there until he zooms out so it's not a smudge on the lens? It appears from behind the clouds.
wavepainter @ wavepainter I was wondering the exact same thing???
wavepainter no it is a mark on the screen. When the camera moves you can see it on the screen @ 2.39.
M coverstone no it is a mark on the windscreen. When the camera moves you can see it on the screen @ 2.39.
That's exactly what I have been watching! What is it?
Thanks for Broadcasting this on you tube.
That’s quite an intense HP supercell! CG’s every 2-4 seconds!
That's some incredible lightning... I've been in a few storms with constant lightning, but never with so many nearby strikes happening constantly. I'd be freaking out... and possibly deaf by that point
The C.G. is intense. A storm chasers delight. Incredible catch. A funnel may have lurked for some unsuspecting people under that rain wrapped wall. That C.G. is unlike any I have seen living from S.D. &K.S. down to Texas. Great video.👍
That lightening is insane
I was like oh my gosh! This is Delaware. Hadn't really read the title until after I clicked on the picture from looking at tornado videos. I'm from around DE and wow! We didn't get this not quite. Cool video!
That is pretty impressive lightning going on there!😱 I can fully understand on why storm chaser's are drawn to these kind of storms, it was a beautiful to watch!
Wow, just Wow. What a display of electricity. Some very frequent and serious lightning going on. We get nothing close to that up here in southern ontario. Great capture and thanks for sharing
Greetings from Toronto
Years ago...like earlier 2000's, we got some good ones. I used to video them from north of the city...south side of Lake Simcoe. Still have them on video. Then, it seemed the weather patterns changed and a lot of these storms passed well to the west and north...heading towards and around Thunder Bay, etc. The ones that do move in towards us from the west tend to weaken a lot as the pass over land, not that I'd want another derecho experience like we had in 2022. However, I'd absolutely love it if we could get a few light shows like that!
Sussex County Delaware seems to get some of the strongest storms and most vivid lightning displays I have ever seen. Incredible! Thank you for posting this video
My gawd that lightening is incredible
This storm averaged 140 strikes per minute.
KaiTakApproach I believe it!
God is All Powerful!!
@@baynewmsn9892 Amen! Love Him!
@@dianefarley37 You be Blessed Diane!
@@baynewmsn9892 You, too! God bless you!
Some kind of lightning display that is!
1:19
You could hear the *CLICK* of the static! Damn!
Sounds like it struck the wires or generator again at 2:21.
God's going to get people's attention one way or another!!! ✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤🙏
Brainwashed
That's some wicked lightining! Holy Cow!
Wow! That hurt my eyes just watching it on video!
Great lightning show! Haven't seen a storm like that in years!
I Wouldn’t be getting out of the car to set up a tripod in that situation either! Unbelievable number of ground strikes, great video.
Wow that was some of the craziest lightning I have ever seen and I live in the Lightning Capital Florida
I know right, I live in volusia county and we can have some intense cells but this one takes the cake. Even the great plains are jealous of this one in Delaware of all places, almost seems like another derecho
Typical Florida thunderstorms don’t produce the same amount of lightning as a supercell does.
@@bensmall6548 - supercells are bigger in size so yes more lightning but the Central Florida June/July storms probably pop out more bolts per square mile than most other storms
@@MCO2ATL2DTWby777 I mean supercells have more frequent lightning it’s just more noticeable at nightfall.
@@bensmall6548 yeah a lot more cloud to cloud, same with squall lines at night. Florida storms are more known for cloud to ground and positive charged cloud to ground
Someone's digging up the Ark of The Covenant 😵😨😬😎😎
Commenting 5am SUN 9/6/20...SIMPLY AWESOME..on the amazing incredible Tornado Alley-like lightning barrage and tornadic wall clouds hown here...along with tons of CGs and tearing thundercrashes....this is MY kind of video..big time.. Just like that amazing Troy Grove IL lightning barrage video from 6/22/16..which I have also seen, added to my ''liked videos'' and having put the thunder onto audiotape.... BTW..get this...9/3/20..the day of this amazing Tstorm video here....was smack on the very 50th anniversary of the largest USA hailstone ever..in Coffeyville KS on 9/3/70...it was almost the size of a basketball...I bet you and many 10 of 1000s of viewers and 298 commenters didn't even know this.. heeheee..but I have......and exactly 3 years ago today...here in southern RI..I videotaped/uploaded a nice Tstorm video..from 9/6/17... it is on my channel here....lotsa lightning and few good closeby crashes. One last thing..I was watching on radar and the BLSCs chart when this amazing tornadic-Tstorm was unfolding over DC and Philly THU evening 9/3/20.....and surely enough..you got the same awesomed MCS complex.....Hope you like my manuscript here... heeheee... Fondly...James, LuvsTstormTapes..southern RI((my real good TH-cam-Tstorm buddy, tommythunderhead, from Walpole NH sent me this amazing video via Email..bless him..!!!))
The most beautiful thing I have seen this week 😍😍😻😊
Wow! Stay inside the car! Thanks for sharing stay safe
Absolutely the best footage I've seen, and I've seen a lot!! I love that you captured the entire storm system!! I don't know why I haven't seen this video before.. Very weird.. Thank's for this great footage!! ⛈️🌪️⚡
Amazing video! This is the same system that spawned the EF1 tornado that passed within 100 yards of our house in Edgewater Md. Huge trees down all through our neighborhood, but amazingly no fatalities. Truly the most violent weather event I've experienced in the 29 years I've lived here.
One of the best example of an electrical storm. Awesome.
Looks like you all got a taste of the south! Truly wicked. I love watching lightning like that so long as it stays in the distance.
Excellent job filming! I appreciate the lack of talking or play by play like a lot of others do while filming.
Scary when it's striking all around you. Anyone on foot over there would be a certain target
I'll take this over heat and humidity anyday. I'd love to be outside in this providing shelter is not too far away!
@@patrickmurphy8222 You brave soul :D
WOW that is certainly one dangerous thunderstorm, love it
Wow that lightning is insane! Stay safe and thanks for sharing!
Now that was some extremely intense cloud to ground lightning. Haven't seen a thunderstorm with that much frequent intense lightning in a long time. I take it that there was a severe thunderstorm warning in effect for this cell?
Yeah a very large one. Same cell that produced a tornado south of Annapolis, MD. Long tracked supercell
I was in Georgetown about 15 miles away from where this was shot, it was some violent lightning for sure.
That was a crazy day and night! One warning would post, then expire, just to have another post minutes later. I am horribly scared of storms, therefore this past week has been a trial for me. Can't wait till hurricane and severe storms season is over
Excellent video! I was at Treasure Beach in Fenwick Island as it passed to the north of us. I could see the entire storm from the base to the top, leaning very nicely towards the northeast. It is not very often we see a 'mothership' like this in our region.
I was just gonna ask if that was a mesocyclone, but then I read the full title. Derp. I usually just click and watch. You always have good vids, it is my way to relax.
coz there's a Meso-ah Somewhere-ah. Praise INDRA!
@@JasonBlack66 Just for Knowledge Facts :- LORD INDRA,as per Hindu Mythology ,is the God of Rain and Storms.
dude that looks like something straight out of an alien invasion movie for real crazy
WHAT A MONSTER!!!!
Good Catch Thanks For The Good Video!
Keep Up The Amazing Work!!
Wow I have never in my life seen lighting like that.. Amazing..
It's been awhile since I seen a video with this much lightning and loud thunder! It was like you were under a giant Tesla coil!
Boy that lightning was really intense!
Thank you for sharing this! I miss thunder and lighting we don’t get much of them anymore it seems like where I live
Some of the best lightning strikes ive ever seen
Kinda looks like tornado.
look at the radar dufus
Earth starting to feels like tiny weather version of Jupiter somehow 😔
We’re moving into 5D!
@Matthew Hunter You are correct. I don't know why people make these comments. Well yes I do. Others saying the same, making it out more than it is. Where some scientists say it's climate change & other scientists say it's the natural way this planet always has been. It goes thru cycles. From warming to ice age, then warming again, then cooling again. But main stream media only lets one side heard, saying it's a consensus.
I really miss days like this
I kept wanting you to pan back out to see the entire cell. Awesome!
2020 was a big year for storms in DE, on August 7 northern DE had a giant supercell that also produced ef1 tornado, and 2-4 inches of rain in 30 minutes!! That storm also produced lots of close lightning strikes but not quite on the level of this one.
I was almost struck by lightening on a mountaintop one time. It was essentially a clear day when a solitary cloud settled on the mountain. I felt my hair stand up and a bolt struck a metal pole, just a short distance from me. I have a healthy respect for lightening and its awesome power.
Brilliant footage. There's a distinct period of maybe a minute as the positive CGs pass right through your location.
I don't know how rare an experience this would be for a US storm chaser but here in the UK we can only dream of a storm like that.
Beautiful video. Love the fact you didn't pan in and let us see the whole storm.
We traveled to Greenwood that day...not too far from there...GREAT Show...
2:29 right side 😳😳😳
Kaboom
What are we looking at, at 2:29?
jentig lightning bruh
@@tnut3305 Thank you. Saw the lightening after I posted my question, but still wasn't 100% as to if that was it. That was some crazy electricity!
That greenish sky at the beginning usually indicates a GREAT chance for a tornado. The color of the sky, that huge anvil/derby-shaped ridge... You folks are darned lucky you did not get a tornado out of this monster meso. Incredible lightning. I seriously though a tornado was going to form before it was over. I'll bet the headwinds were fairly strong ahead of the rain.
Scary and beautiful.
Spectacular light show
Gee! It sounds like it's snarling!🙆
Holy cow!! That was freakin awesome!!! I have never seen that much lightening so often!! I should have been a storm chaser!!!
We get several storms with lightning like that here in the Midwest. Especially early in the spring.
Michael Limberg in the northeast where I live, we definitely do not get storms like that!! Lately we hardly get any decent lightening storms. So disappointing.
Donna Brulato That is a bummer, because lightning makes for a good show sometimes. I am in rural Iowa we see the storm coming for many miles. The thunder sounds like it rolls forever.
You still can be a storm chaser! Go for it!
AmethystSky thank you for the vote of confidence, but I am too old to start a new career. Lol
Wow, that' s incredible.
I love lightning and thunderstorms, and they scary me a little as well, I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen in my hole life. That lightning barrage is really amazing, scary, incredible and spectacular at the same time. Congratulations!! 🌩🌩👏👏
I was watching this yesterday on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk camera and the lightning was crazy! I was hoping someone caught this!
The constant lightning and thunder are amazing.
Great storm clip, thanks
This is really great Footage! Thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve been through a Storm just like this, Bristol, Vermont twice in 2013, but the lightning was never THIS intense!!!
I remember i had seen my first lightning storm little green cell i thought it was nothing i noticed the lightning was really picking up once i seen bolt hit behind the house i went in fast and now till this day i love watching it lightning
"What in the wide wide world of sports is a goin' on here ???"
Slim ? Is that you ?
Lol
"We got the gold right here Pa !!!" /// "What gold is he talking about ?" /// "There ain't no gold". "He's crazy !!!" /// "Take a look under that blanket". /// ""Right here Pa, just for you !!!"
It's fascinating how the lightening strikes affected the camera.
Yah, internal mirror cameras almost go "blind" during the flash
Looks very tornadic
Scary looking thunderstorm.
Wow, thta´s so amazing!
Eerily beautiful. A reminder of just how small we are?
Science can do a lot, but it still can't control the weather.
@@bobnagel6449 I hope it never does. I pray that God let's the weather have some freedom.
Phenomenal 🌩 footage!! Sound like bombshells going off in the air. Stay safe out there!💙🦋
Incredible storm and lightning was just about non-stop.
You’re one brave man!!
This is how I got struck by lightning in Denison, Iowa, on 08/31/2014. Don't underestimate lightning.
ive been struck in August of 2014 and I learned after that point. Lightning of this magnitude was no joke. Someone near me last night got struck I'm hearing
Phenomenal storm! Thank you for posting this one
That was majestic. Thank you.
What a beautiful show
Omg that's freaking awesome 💞
I only saw storms like that in minneapolis. I'm from California and you just don't see that here
It's unfortunate that most cell phones/dash cams can't handle the sudden brighness of lightning flashes, resulting in those lines appearing across the screen. Back in 2012, I had an iPhone and it performed amazingly well. I videoed a storm with constant bright lightning, heavy rains and large hail... not a line to be seen. I was on the motorcycle so it was, to say the least, a memorable event... It was my first smart phone and I assumed all phone cameras would be just as good. I've had Samsungs since then (prefer Android) and I was disappointed with the cameras in all of them until I got the S23 Ultra in 2023. It seems to not have this issue. More sophisticated cameras work better. My old Canon G10 doesn't have that problem. That was one absolutely amazing storm catch. You caught some great stuff there. Thanks for posting!!
That was simply amazing!!!! Crazy amounts of lightning!!!!👍👍👍👍
I have never heard thunder like that ....incredible video
Incredible. Thanks for sharing.
From time to time I return back from my pedestrian hobbies and interests and bump into a suggested video just to be reminded that these monsters actually exist.
This is one of the best lightning displays I've ever seen.
Wow! Incredible video! Thanks!
