Absolutely love storms like these yet sadly we don't get them much unlike back in 2005-2010 where we used to always get these big beautiful storms that would last for hours while I would watch it come in, in the pool. The storms I love the most are ones where they're huge and have tons of lightning, hail and thunder as well as lots of rain.
The Great Sloth Lord Here in California thunderstorms are terrible and not even that beautiful they are just tiny thunderstorms But once we gots a good storm with big hail and heavy rain with a lot of lightning strikes (kinda scared of storms) Well sometimes there are severe thunderstorms here Once we got a really not that great storm it only had one thunder rumble and only a wall of hail but no rain or lightning strikes Like HOW is that a thunderstorm? Mabye I'm just dumb
Here in kansas we just got a storm early in the morning on July the 4th and it flash flooded like crazy outside we got 9 inches of rain and huge thunder and lightning every sec
Scary looking there OP. Thor looks very angry! Those lightning strikes in the video are very bright! If only I knew it was brewing, I would have been there to see it! :(
I live in Wymondham, Norfolk and all ever get is either light rain, cloud, or sun; thunderstorms nearly always miss us, I can only remember 2 or 3 good ones!
I've always loved thunderstorms. Every time I hear one coming, my wife and I go out to our front porch and sit out there and watch it. She likes it as much as I do. We have a Victorian home with the wraparound porch with an awesome view of the sky. Perfect for thunderstorms without getting wet... Unless the rain is coming in sideways from heavy wind of course ;-)
I always look forward to thunderstorms. But, sitting out on the porch to watch then, you risk getting hit by lightning. My kind of day would be one that is mainly sunny and hot, about 90 degrees or above, being in s serious drought, then ominous clouds begin to move in toward dusk, then you begin to hear distant thunder, which gradually gets closer as the storms near, which leads to heavy overnight thunderstorms, which are perfect for sleeping, and the rains bring gardens and dried out lawns back to life.
I remember that storm, it came over Stafford where I live which is just north of Kingswinford - i remember looking out of our front window and seeing it approaching in the distance and i was like freakishly excited, watched it go over my house (and we live on a hill!). I distinctly remember how it went really dark (like night time dark) and it was still daytime! I will always remember it - got some really good lightning shots on my camera!
we never get any in stafford anymore. i'm sure we always used to have them every summer. 2020 was the last one and the best one i've ever seen/captured!
loved watching the ducks fly in opposite direction, saying "quick duckies, make a noise, bust a move"lol! Really good video! and I agree, storms here in the UK (Surrey) very rarely happen, we've had a few rumbles of thunder of late but thats all! I miss the Florida storms I've experienced over the years!
tamara that’s a good point actually! I hate thunder and I’m constantly checking all the live streams and everything! I live in Staffordshire and the storms always seem to hit towns 20 miles down the road and never us! I’m not exactly complaining though, but I can certainly see us getting more as global warming takes more of a toll. Where I live we are much lower down (altitude wise) than surrounding areas so the storms tend to skirt around us. It’s weird. I have noticed that we get a lot of storms forming over shropshire way and just south of Birmingham, but they rarely pass directly over us.
@@hollylouise1814 Here in Telford, we miss them too. Any storm that is in Shropshire goes by Shrewsbury rather than hit me. The last storm that did hit me was the overnight storm on July 24th, about half one in the morning after I heard the biggest bang for a long time
i remember this as i was working at the airport at the time it was early evening and from our crew room you could se the entire storm cell. gutted however that it didn't reach us, it just side skirted us. Nice footage. 5*
In Arizona we usually get insane lightning that strikes on and off for seconds. One time lightning struck in my backyard I was in the bathroom. The flash was bright as a camera flash
Tucson is reportedly the most lightning struck place on Earth. Just massive amounts of water vapour and insane power and blazing heat from the sun turn clouds into colossal batteries that discharge some serious firepower.
This storm seems to be like those they sometimes get in California's Central Valley in the wake of a strong cold front with cold air aloft from the Gulf of Alaska and warm air near the surface blowing from the south or southwest.
I love days like this over hot clear sunny skies, there is something ominous about it like the atmosphere it brings just before the storm is coming. Shame in the UK we don't get many of these, though with summer approaching I'm hoping we will get some.
I once was in the school hall with my friends and other students doing a dress rehearsal for our school play when a thunderstorm came right above it. It was literally about 200 times louder than this! We watched all the lights go out in our school and everyone started crying ! Hate thunder.
I live in tornado ally, Fort Worth Texas. You don't want that to happen I promise. Until you've been in a tornado there is nothing you've experienced in your life like it. I didn't hear a train I heard the wind screaming and the sounds of total destruction. When it was over the entire downtown area was destroyed. Giant glass buildings with all the glass blown out and cement and splintered wood everywhere. We have at least one tornado every spring. But we had one this winter also..
great video i used to live in Waterhouses near were you shot this video. not sure if u know it but we had a ace strom one year 2006 i think after a hot spell i was just 6-7 so i freaked out lol me and my bro were playing footy to when a huge lightning bolt shot through the sky and a right over head clap of thunder :0but iam 12 know and i love storms:)
It depends where you live in the UK. I live in the East Midlands on the Anglia border and we see very few storms here which is a shame because I love t storms. The further North you go in the UK the more storms there seems to be. However, a supercell tstorm hit Hinckley in Leicestershire last week and that produced 3.5" hail and that is only about 30 miles from me.
Just in case you wanted to know, there is an Air China 747-400 visiting BHX this Saturday 25th June arriving at 1925hrs and departing the Sunday 26th at 1415. Arrival due to a visit from the Chinese Premier.
This is, like, the seventh time I have seen this video. But that first explosion is something else! You usually get this type of storm in somewhere like Florida, not the middle of England.
I lived in Kings Norton that year when the Tornado hit. Now me from Newcastle. We never had stuff like that b4 lol. But that did scare me cos I remember it like it was yesterday. Never touched down in Kings Norton but wow I remember the winds and the rain and the lightening. Had never seen nothing like that in my life. Dont no what it is in the west midlands. T time kicks off a thunderstorm allot lol
are you still going on your hunt, tornado season started today and tonight in Oklahoma 17-4-13 some big storms further south in Oklahoma, some places got 8 inches of rain with the tornados in a few hours, a huge cold front 39 degs slammed into a warm front 80 degs with a dry line coming in from the west, ripe for tornados, I think there were 6 so far with some damage,, its going to be a very active season this year, your going to have fun lol
Hi there,, just thought i would mention i moved to Oklahoma from England a few years ago i loved UK storms and thought they were the same all over the world `not so` i now live in Kay county Ok in tornado alley and the storms scare me to death lol, you would not believe how fast and big they build up, you should book a tornado chase and come over to see them you would love it, ps, i don`t chase them i go underground in my shelter lmao
Are you're storms getting bigger then, because that hasn't been the case where I live (Leeds). We just get the occasional thundery shower now with the odd storm usually around July time whereas in 2005 we had a very powerful storm which hit a tree on our road and caused substantial wind damage. Fingers crossed for some decent storms this year (without too much damage)!
I like how the birds are fleeing lol. Global warming is definitely changing things now. I remember last October (our autumn) we had scorching hot temperatures in the UK. We had a heatwave and then snow within about 3 weeks of each other. We're getting some serious weather in this country now. We'll be getting our very own little tornado alley like they have in America soon. It could stretch from the Isle of Man to Portsmouth lol :-)
I am looking for films of huge thunderstorms in south Germany : Schwarzwald or Bayrischen Alpen ( Salzburg, Bad Reichenhall, Unterwössen..) . I was flying gliders in this places, on summer, when I was young , and these thunderstorms was magnificents shows , same as a wide countryside symphony .
i think some people are trollin, dont worry ;) its obvious this is the UK by watchin the vid and readin the description :P i mean where else is there a west midlands in the world anyway? :P
As far as more "massive" storms go, having lived in different areas of the Gulf states and S.E. U.S. we do get some whoppers...especially when hurricanes roll through (I was forced to evacuate twice one summer in the '90's from Wilmington, N.C.)...scary...In England, I was working one winter and a pretty big snow storm hit and as a Yank trying to drive (on what was for me the wrong side of the road) was quite challenging!
It's a pity you didnt have your vid camera in july and august 1999. I lived in Bilbrook near Wolverhampton at the time. In July there was a massive storm cell that covered the entirety of the Birmingham and West Midland conurbation. Have never seen so much lightning (fork lightning too) before or since. 5 weeks later we had 2 and a quarter inches of rain in an hour and I was in the Wightwick cricket pavilion at the time - a distinctly unfunny experience.
Some beautiful updraughts on this storm and a nicely established base. I have heard that a storm with persistant thunder means the storm has reached it's mature stage and is losing it's strength. I don't know for sure though.
That is one hell of a cumulonimbus cloud right there mate wow
It is a huge storm cloud
geese are like "oh man its a storm, quick get out of the way!"
Those birds said, "We're getting the hell out of here!" Nice looking storm there, mate! Greetings from the USA!
The geese are like "f this, we're out of here!"
Birds have got more brains than we give them credit for!?
Positive lightning strike at the beginning caused that bomb-like thunder. Brutal!
Wonderful footage of a beautiful storm. I miss thunderstorms! It's barely rained all summer here in the midwest. (USA)

However,UK thunderstorms are happening more frequently with each passing year and they are becoming stronger and longer lasting too
Very rare to get storms like this over here, in the UK. Good capture, I love thunder and lightning!
Yea
When I lived in Pendeford, we always got big storms with plenty of lightning.
LOL at the camera jolt at the first thunder hee hee. I'm amazed you were out there, I'd have been hidden under the dining table with Bob! x

I loved storm since I was little even tornado
Those geese were very wise :)
This is a fantastic video mate, 5 stars.
Yep this was filmed sept 2010 just west of Wolverhampton UK. The storms are def getting much bigger here :-)
Cheers Lee
Was the thunder severe when you were not filming

That was pretty cool, reminded me of war of the worlds with the girls screaming
Now, that is a Cumulonimbus cloud of epic proportions!
Thats a pretty scary image at the beginning. Was wearing headphones & was not expecting to get an ear rape from that thunder XD
Great job :)
We got a bad storm a few weeks ago in Lincolnshire, torrential rain,thunderstorms which was really loud and a very small tornado!
Very good video, really scarey storm😮😮😮😮😮
The geese were sayin , "quick lads lets scarper before it gets us !"
Joe Ritchie xD you made my dad!
What are you on about ?
Joe Ritchie lol
That's Our Country From The West Midlands 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I absolutely love this video and have watched it many times - brilliant
I love thunderstorms but my absolute favourite part was the flock of geese at around 2:51! Lovely! :)
The time to run is when you see ducks flying from the storm... 2:50 lol
Apparently, in Willenhall, 28.2 mm of rain fell in just 40 minutes! That's incredible for the UK! :D
Did you flinch at the first roll? :) Gorgeous cloud that one, completely eating the blue sky.
Fantastic video That's not very often we get that kind of storm in the UK.
Well they will get stronger and more frequent as the years go by especially as the climate warms up more
great video i used to live in Waterhouses near were you shot this video. not sure if u know it but we had a ace strom one year 2006 i think after a hot spell i was just 6-7 so i freaked out lol me and my bro were playing footy to when a huge lightning bolt shot through the sky and a right over head clap of thunder :0but iam 12 know and i love storms:)
At 0:08 surely this was a POSITIVE lightning strike !!!
Geese are like: "Aight boys lets out run this storm"

Yes I remember this when the then Chinese Premier Hu Jintao came to Birmingham.
That is beautiful quality for 2010
Birds - ''Fuck me I'm out of here'' lol
This video recorded 26 lightning strikes/ rumbles of thunder altogether
This is, like, the seventh time I have seen this video. But that first explosion is something else! You usually get this type of storm in somewhere like Florida, not the middle of England.
class video lad you should have been standing right smack under the storm to get the full beastly roar of it
Those birds were getting away from that storm for SURE!!
1 year old me: **doesn’t give a crap and continues sleeping**
the way our english summer is going ( for a change)..i feel we will get a storm like this ..COME ON!!!!!!

Lucky that u didn't get to go to school
you like....20 now? 👀
or 30 or 26 XD
Just gotta love a good old thunderstorm
Oh I can hear the boom of lightning in the distance
The rumbling in the Video is the thunder,also lightning is actually the thing that causes thunder
Awesome footage ( Graeme in Kent )
Err not sure about 30 years lol.
cheers thanks for your comments
Lee
nice vid mate, i miss that little village.
Hi there,, just thought i would mention i moved to Oklahoma from England a few years ago i loved UK storms and thought they were the same all over the world `not so` i now live in Kay county Ok in tornado alley and the storms scare me to death lol, you would not believe how fast and big they build up, you should book a tornado chase and come over to see them you would love it, ps, i don`t chase them i go underground in my shelter lmao
massive?!?!? THIS IS VERY LIGHT!!!!!!!
You prune
It is a massive thunderstorm especially for the UK!
beautiful strong thunderstorm,,about my self,, i love these weather bordered adore
This is cool not seen one like this for a while last huge one we had in the south uk was September 2016
Look how dark them clouds are did the storm come this way to u mate or did it turn away
dude i love thunder storms so much but we barely get them here in calgary :(
We always get them in london
Sad for you i love thunderstorm
You were brave, going outside and filming the storm. Me - I'd've been heading for the nearest hidey-hole.............:O

Was in Tipton out walking my dog when I got caught in this. Just saw the clouds and was like, yeah lets go back.... Didn't make it aha!
Omg I was woken up by a storm last night
The Gaming Channel that’s why I’m here 😂😂
Thunder just happened today in Birmingham like a lot, and there were so many flashes happening! in London, there was a bit of lighting.
In the description it's minutes not minuets
If Austrailia had orange street lamps, double yellow lines at the kerb, and homes that looked like that I would be worried.
That’s one hell of a cell
Why can't we get storms like that in Wymondham, Norfolk?! We never get storms here! :(
Thats Storm Looks Very Intimadating! WOW!
birmingham seems to always get freak weather... definitely the 'texas' of england lol
But if you go north west Birmingham (Sandwell) you don’t get that much there
We just had a small storm here in Milton Keynes! (uk) It’s the 18th may 2021 tho
i love how all the geese were like "fuck this shit, im outta here"!!! lol
was there any rain wen this was happenin in the clip? doesnt seem to be any - plus part of the sky is nice and blue as well... very strange! :/
Not long enough l would like to see what happened at the end.
Thats that one up high, thanks for sharing (:

Great video. I love thunder, subscribed!
Thunderstorms are always better before the rain starts.
0:40 Ooh, a streetlight comes on!
Thanks Annie, I'll check it out. If I can tear myself away from the number plates on my street!! x
I am looking for films of huge thunderstorms in south Germany : Schwarzwald or Bayrischen Alpen ( Salzburg, Bad Reichenhall, Unterwössen..) . I was flying gliders in this places, on summer, when I was young , and these thunderstorms was magnificents shows , same as a wide countryside symphony .
I live in Maine so when every i hear 1 thunder boom and GRAY clouds i freak out. i would go into shock if i saw that coming at me.
That sky looks angry .Good capure .Wouldnt like to have been out in that though
i think some people are trollin, dont worry ;) its obvious this is the UK by watchin the vid and readin the description :P i mean where else is there a west midlands in the world anyway? :P
My house was in the middle of that thunder it was like night time and was making the windows shake
As far as more "massive" storms go, having lived in different areas of the Gulf states and S.E. U.S. we do get some whoppers...especially when hurricanes roll through (I was forced to evacuate twice one summer in the '90's from Wilmington, N.C.)...scary...In England, I was working one winter and a pretty big snow storm hit and as a Yank trying to drive (on what was for me the wrong side of the road) was quite challenging!
ur brave...i would not stay outside in a thunderstorm i would scream and hide under my bed XDD
best thunderstorm in the uk iv ever seen tbh well the one in 2005 or 4 i cant remember was much worse
It's a pity you didnt have your vid camera in july and august 1999. I lived in Bilbrook near Wolverhampton at the time. In July there was a massive storm cell that covered the entirety of the
Birmingham and West Midland conurbation. Have never seen so much lightning (fork lightning too)
before or since. 5 weeks later we had 2 and a quarter inches of rain in an hour and I was in the Wightwick cricket pavilion at the time - a distinctly unfunny experience.
Some beautiful updraughts on this storm and a nicely established base. I have heard that a storm with persistant thunder means the storm has reached it's mature stage and is losing it's strength. I don't know for sure though.
What you said doss not sound correct
The mature stage includes lots of rain,hail,lightning,thunder,gusty winds,hailstones and tornadoes
We had one just now
