Tip for anyone finding a killer electrical storm video like this one: Listen closely (if you dare) for subtle pops at the exact moment when lightning strikes, especially the close bolts that have thunder just a second or two later. Those pops are "upward streamers" of positive electricity trying to reach up to the stepped leader coming down from the clouds. If they meet, that's your lightning bolt, but since there are usually several upward streamers for any given stepped leader, you tend to hear the failed upward streamers in videos like this. After all, they're basically tiny little lightning bolts in their own right. You can hear one in this video at 0:11. (Just be aware that loud thunder more or less immediately follows it, of course.)
If you watch the entire video, you can plainly see that he's actually standing just inside his house. While this remains a calculated risk, lightning would be extremely unlikely to choose his body over the taller structure above him.
Not only that, but when the thunder at 0:37 actually strikes at 0:36, you can hear a slight pop. This is almost certainly a (very) nearby upward streamer trying to connect to the stepped leader from the cloud, which ultimately connected about a fifth of a mile distant instead. You can hear these pretty frequently in videos of strong electrical storms if you know what you're listening for. Sometimes it's a much more resounding pop than what we get in this video.
Experience a "Central Florida Express" sometime, aka a furious afternoon severe thunderstorm in Florida, the lightning death capital of the world and third most lightning struck location in the world next to Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela and the democratic Republic of Congo in Africa
I heard a ridiculous thunder about a week ago, it was a like 5 second long lightning bolt (couldn’t see it fully cause under a overhang thing but flashed for that long) and then the thunder after had 7 super loud booms and was crackling loudly the entire time, crackling stopped after like a minute. was outside for it too so satisfying
This is a storm you would see in Florida

Ok video, but please stay safe. It's not every day you get a second chance at life.
Súpercelda
Damn, of course I forgot that I just plugged in my new high volume speaker. That thunder crack caused my cat to sh*t on herself and I farted!!!

And how did you not twitch after several close lightning strikes!?
That was cool.
Id say a good 5-8 miles. That close
Crazy I will not be outside or either close to any window
You should’ve got in the car since it acts as a faraday cage, that lightning was too close,
MAN, those thunderclaps are just KILLER!!
The sound of thunder changes in a violent storm…this one was definitely changed….great video folks!!!!👍👍👍👍
Nothing makes a man feel safer from lightning than standing behind a 3mm thick skeeter screen.
Like how the 2nd thunder strike around 0:37 interrupts the one that came before it
Как вы выжили такую грозу 😨😨😨😨
Super charged! ⚡️
Nice distortion free sound! What phone you use to film?
Nothing makes me smile more than a coffee and donuts in the morning with my cousins Alfridges.
What the hell is an "Alfridges"?
Thor
Was anyone struck by lightning during this?!? Crazy
Reportedly 6 were struck when this storm hit Bridgeville DE
@@TrainMan2004 That’s insane
@@coldplayistheworld2023 With that level of a lightning barrage I'm not surprised!!!
Very lucky to not get struck great footage though. And I love the thunder at 36 seconds in.
É azn
theres a storm brewing
I was watching this live and this was amazing! You had a perfect view of it!
That lightning is fantastic, you're brave for standing in the open doorway yikes!
Get some we’re no lightning
This is weigh, too short. Sorry, but I really love that thunder. Keep up the great work!
Lightning is no joke!!!! These thunderclaps sound gutwrenching on surround sound!!!! Too bad you didn't catch the entire storm!!!
Tormenta electrica
Damn dude, scareless from the lightning, it was me i would run in the First light
Me too, im even scared at home
Storms are cool but that's a total stay indoors and be ready to be a safe place, kind of storm.
Gettin' ready to wipe out another she shed....
that is a tornado that is on the the ground. look beneath the funnel and you can see power flashes as the storm moves through power lines
Thunder like that immediately after flashes that bright meant the strikes were extremely close. Not very smart to be outside in those conditions.

OMG!!
Very dangerous , this thundery shower, lightning strikes , real awesome
0:32 loud crack of thunder Man in background: "holy fuck" 0:37 a much louder crack 0:39 man in background "holy fuck" but louder

Jeez, that's terrifying!
Wild weather in rampage with lightning and the rain of the mesocyclone thunderstorm.
Absolutely insane CG barrage. That thunder crack @ 0:37 is one of the most brutal I've ever heard.
Sounds like a positive strike. :)
@@brennuvargr4638 it's a positive lightning strike

@@TrainMan2004 I have, on numerous occasions. That’s one of the many reasons I love Florida so much 🙂

Oooooweeee what a storm! You could hear the *SNAP* of some of the lightning because of how close it was.
