Awesome video! I intercepted this storm in southeastern Wisconsin west of Milwaukee, and it produced one of the most insane lightning barrages I've ever experienced!
Cool. It was continuous, but almost 100% IC coming onshore. There were bolts hitting close later on when I was trying to punch into the back side, but it was raining so hard I couldn’t see much of anything. I never saw such eerie sky hues as with this storm. Very ominous green underneath, then a weird rusty red under the anvil as the whole system moved away.
Alain..in case you missed it..I got a huge thunderclap on my 6/13/22-Tstorm 10-minute-video at 02:18 into it...,...but my good guess is that you will NEVER get around to seeing it...as those were the glory days that you were good at seeing my latest videos..but alas..not any more.....
Yea. Thanks. One of the rare amazing storms in this area. I miss storms like this. 😕 This May has been PATHETIC! I suppose it could be worse, i.e cold, but I really hate this boring drought weather. Absolutely nothing to upload since April 20.
I live west of Milwaukee in Lake Country. I saw a storm born over my house start to rain strengthen all the way to Holland MI across the lake and it was a baby storm so cool
1:27 like holy ... it looks like a mothership approaching! 2:05 This is astonishing ... it looks like an other worldly view ... more like an art of nature. I see that your camera is able to shoot slowmotion shots so ... am i mistaken that those shots could be around 200+ FPS slowed down ?
I shoot everything at 60 fps on my DSLR camera. For slow motion lightning I just slow to 15 or 30 fps and blend frames. Every once in a while I attempt to use my gopro or i-phone 14 to get super slow motion lightning as they can shoot at 240 fps. The problem is the sensor gets hotter and the quality gets worse with time, and the battery also runs down quickly. I’m usually not very successful. In this video I didn’t include any phone or gopro footage except for the driving clips. For the accurate cloud colors and non-grainy cloudscapes I really prefer the DSLR even though it can’t shoot faster than 60 fps.
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 Great! Then there is a chance to get a cheap mirrorless camera which can shoot at 120FPS progressively or switching it into 100FPS at lower bitrate to keep the camera's processing slower for less camera body heat. I have some thunderstorm videos if you're interested which are processed between 50FPS & 60FPS 👍
@@aliultimate009 My gopro is version 7, so its not the newest. They may have solved the overheating and fast battery drain problem in newer versions. The problem with the phone is it doesn’t have manual settings and the sound is bad. Good thunder sound is important for me! Sorry I’m not an expert on the latest cameras. I have been using my Canon EOS 6D Mark II for many years, and I use for photography as well as video. I don’t have a designated camcorder other than gopro and phone.
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 Keep the older versions of Gopros with you better since the newer once needs you to connect to the internet in order to activate the camera. Also, about your main camera ( Canon ) it's ok if you don't have enough information about other cameras since you're not taking it as a business - more like just a hobby 👍 The thing is - if you want me to recommend you for an excellent camera for long recording times - get a new Sony FDR AX-33 Camcorder ( it does have a fan cooling system ) just make sure on not to use it's 4K recording format for long records other than it's XAVC-S recording format ( if you get it's large battery which you can equip it with - at full charge will give you around 4 hours of continuous recording at good room temperature - just make sure on not to let the camera battery completely drain after recording or you'll lose your recording file ) you can record at 50FPS or 60FPS depending on the version that is available for you, or get a used Sony A7C with a Multi Battery Adaptor ( NPA-MQZ1K ) which can hold 4 batteries at once ( And get this - if all batteries are charged - you should guarantee over 12 hours of a continuous recording 🤣, just make sure not to use it's NTSC 120FPS recording format on long records since it'll overheat at warm room temperature, for better use it at PAL setting at 100FPS on 60Mb or 100Mb if you want a better quality - just make sure the room temperature is cool at least ) but it needs to be very close to the camera since the cable length is short but easily solvable if you have tripod to fix it's position on the tripod head as long as they're close to each other ( Camera & battery adapter ) so you can make a combination of using multiple cameras - one for using it handheld and the other is stationary 👍
I would love to get a higher end camcorder, but I’d have to save up probably. I have used my DSLR for low-light photography and the video mode works pretty well, though it has to be restarted every 30 minutes. I can get over an hour with each battery and I have four. The problem with storms is the water. My DSLR is resistant enough that light rain doesn’t hurt it, but it can’t get totally soaked like a gopro. I’ve even had problems with steam occurring inside the camera if I’ve been driving with the AC on and suddenly open the window and let 75 degree dewpoint air inside. I think something small thats easy to shelter from the elements but records great audio, high speed, and low light would be the best for storms. I’d really like to be able to quickly detach it from the tripod, throw it in a waterproof bag, and run. The big bulky DSLR is somewhat dangerous to run with. I already bent a part of my $1000 lens slightly by falling with it, though thankfully it didn’t harm anything critical. The zoom is just a little more sticky. Having something that is unlikely to get hurt from being dropped in the grass would be the best. Now I usually just roll down the passenger side window and put a tripod on the car seat.
Marshall....if you and other viewers/comments can get this comment((before it gets deleted)))...6/13/22 at 4am..I got a big loud Tstorm on my 10-minute video..huge thundercrash at 02:18 into my video...Anyways...your own amazing video here: ....amazing on the 60,000 foot topped severe Tstorm clouds...the annotations, the radar images..and MOA..MOA..the incredible scene during/after your own 930pm sunset..of the tons of spider-lightning, bolts, rainbow and the mammatus clouds...!!!
Thank you! I am very glad I was able to get out and drive to see this amazing weather event. I did not chase on 5/20/2022 when an EF3 hit Gaylord. I was thinking about it but decided it would be foolish to try and chase storms on bad roads deep in the woods of northern Lower Michigan. Little did I know there would be a tornado that day, but probably still a good decision to stay home. Not a lot of farmland or straight roads up there. I've been working on a weather analysis of the event that I will upload to youtube hopefully soon. I will check out your loud thundercrash. Always a lovely sound to hear! I had my first decently close/loud lighting storm IMBY on 6/16 around 3am ish. I will probably upload that eventually too. So many things to edit.
What a spectacular, well put together video. Definitely nothing like catching these breath taking storms as they approach us off the lake.

Incredible video!!! I chased this same storm and checked on youtube today if anyone else did, was very happy to find this!
That Storm/Cloud structure is breath-taking!
Thanks. This type of storm is unusual for here. It was actually green too. And the sunset was the weirdest rusty red.
majestic! good job!
Thank you! The colorful illumination and lightning on the back side was just amazing.
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 sure!

That storm went a long way and fast. Western Wisconsin across the Lake Michigan then Indy and Ohio. I bet it made it to Penna and York right after.
