Last year, my chimney was struck by a ball of lightening.
I also was electrocuted when it went through my house and all of my electronics.
I was tingling for four days in my hands and feet.
The reason for the strike on the chimney was the metal covering on the top to keep the birds out.
In total we had 80,000.00 in damages to the house.
New roof, no chimney anymore, new hot water heater, new furnace and a few new other essential items for everyday.
I had to get a new television and router and new internet satellite dish.
So glad I survived it. ❤
Wow! Glad you survived that!
⚡⚡⚡
I have felt the energy from an approaching lightning storm too, from a balcony. There's NOTHING that compares, it's absolutely energizing and amazing!!!
Absolutely loved this segment!!
Had such a great time with David Pogue and the crew!
@@LoriGraceAz We love you, Lori!!
Found this video because I belong to this group. I survived strike to my head that traveled down my neck shoulder and right arm out my forearm.
Those photos are beautiful!
thank you!
If you notice where she’s taking the photographs of lightning, the bolts are coming down at the edge of the storm. I remember someone telling me one time about another person who had got struck by lightning on what was apparently a clear day- the bolt had come from pretty far away.
It took me 5 months and 6 storms to finally get a shot of lightning hitting the top of one World Trade Center. But boy was worth it
That was absolutely beautiful. 4:49 😢
I still think .. Zeus ..does it..,. LoL 😂😆
A guy who lived in the 18th century didn't believe that kind of thing. 😂
I mean Franklin who did his kite and key experiment on June 10, 1752.
The weekend we had hurricane Hilary, I saw a bunch of lighting on the east horizon at around 4am, without any thundering sound. I tried to capture it on my phone 📱 but no luck, it was weird, because the bunch of lighting for 5 minutes without any thundering.
P/S: I'm in southern California, hurricane Hilary just swing passed my area,it was just light rain 🌧️ all day last Saturday/Sunday, not even any trees brunches on the ground. By Tuesday, everything went back to normal, like nothing happened. We were lucky
We used to get spectacular electrical storms in southern New Mexico (not so much anymore with climate change). At least still a few monsoons!
During my Air Force days in the early 80s, I was stationed in Eastern NM and very well remember summer evenings and the lighting in the clouds off in the distance.
Alice Hoffman wrote “ The Ice Queen” , a fictional tale about people who were struck by lightning…a must-read…
great book
Nkce to learn something new about lightning and to hear from strike survivors 😎👏
That was absolutely beautiful. 4:49 . Those photos are beautiful!.
Once again congratulations to David and team for the video, it was shocking😂
Great video CBS-thank you! If only I had professors like this Physicist...he explained things so well and quickly-my favorite part of the video. We need educators like him. I'll be sharing this video with my grandkids!
The video was alright, however what was falled to be mentioned is there are negative and positive lightning strikes. Position lightning strikes are very damaging to electronics, unless the electronics is on an isolation transformer.
My paternal grandfather was struck and killed by lightening when I was one year old. They say he was a good man.
ohhh im so sorry.
It's interesting how a lightning bolt looks a lot like the course of a river, as you would see it on a map. Rivers and lightning bolts are squiggly convoluted lines. Neither are straight lines.
It also looks like a branch of a tree, or a blood vessel in your body. It's all fractals.
Takes the path of least resistance just like water
Car is by far the safest place to be unless your house has a lightning rod. Car body is a faraday cage.
The picture’s of the lightning bolts are absolutely beautiful.
No mention of Catatumbo lighting. Interesting. Great content, though.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love lightning! We used to see a lot of lightning where I live but past couple of years the lightning has been lack luster!😢 I love loud and crazy ⚡ ooooooo ya 😊
So beautiful and deadly. What I find fascinating is the different types of lightening across the country. I've seen fireballs shooting horizontally in Oklahoma, 10 streaks coming down at the same time miles apart in the Rockies, etc. Neat stuff
Good morning 🌞
Great story!
Thank you so much I am going to start following her
thank you!
Why are you referring to a whyte male as "her"?
@@CuriousBean did you not watch the segment? it was a lady who was taking the pictures of the lightning
@@CuriousBean and do you not see that she wrote me back and said thank you
@@CuriousBeanwhy are you so hateful? Did you not receive love as a child?
I seem to remember a polling done not too long ago of the people in the Oregon counties affected. The results were overwhelmingly against joining Idaho.
Love AZ. Lightning is crazy here. My strike was in August 2014. During monsoon season up in mogollion.
If it involves electricity, David Pogue is there.
What is heat lighting?
What you were seeing with heat lightning is actually lightning that is occurring within the cloud or between clouds. You are not directly seeing the lightning bolt, but the light that is diffusing through the water vapor of the cloud. Hope this helps.
All the film footage shows lightning going from cloud to ground! Even in slow motion! I’ve yet to see it going from ground to cloud!
good point!!
Our world is absolutely amazing.
Ride the lightning
Job 38:35 ‘Can you send out lightning bolts? Will they come and say to you, ‘Here we are!’
where you were when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding!
I’d be willing to bet that at least a few of those people are lying about being a lightning strike victim
Striking🌠
Basically static electricity. Like rubbing a balloon on your head
Thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening me. Galileo.......
Figaro.....manifico....
MaMa Mia !
i love lightning but I hate lightning
Haha, this is my experience too ! I guess I love it more but hate the fact it kills so many people.
"Think I better, knock on wood
My Mom told me that thunder is the angels bowling.
Hotter than our sun...?
Harnessing heat lightning is possible.
My grandparents' house was struck by lightning years ago. The bolt first struck their tree (which killed it) and from there it hit the house, making a cut in the wood siding. The whole house shook. We asked them if they would consider getting a lightning rod. Grandpa said he walked into a hardware store and an Amish man said, "Who needs a lightning rod when you have God to protect you?"
❤
1:09 and 5:44 are really cool shots. 😎. Sunday morning is my favorite show
When you hear the thunder count 1 Mississippi ect that tells you how close it is to you.
Not correct. Starting counting when you see the lightning and stop when you hear the thunder, Then multiply by the speed of sound to get distance.
I've heard that every 5 seconds equals approximately 1 mile in distance.
@@jeromeglick Sound travels at 1,125 feet per second. There are 5,280 feet in a mile. So every 4.69 seconds is a mile.
Uh, "Lori Bailey?"
Part of it is Zeus doing it and is totally laughing at us and our reactions. 😁
Oya
That's a big woman
Ugh.
You lost me with the warming climate placement equals more lightning. 🥶
It's science and common sense as well-more heat creates more storms-storms have lightening. Good grief-nothing to do with politics. It's 3rd grade science about what makes clouds and how rainfall is part of that cycle of making more clouds.
What is climate placement?? Just call it climate change. The warming of the earth causes more extreme weather events…Not hard to understand. Hotter summers and colder winters. If you really need an explanation let me know.
oh look, you're so smart. You should study HAARP you science genius. @@LaLadybug2011
And I'm sure your don't know what HAARP and weather modification are. I bet they didn't teach that in your third grade class.@bethanyjimenez8507
An interesting segment, until the dumbed down tattoos enter the picture...
aliens
I'm so sick of doctors being so poorly educated.
That area of NC is pretty darn backwards. She should have driven an hour north to excellent doctors and hospitals in Raleigh or Durham or UNC-Chapel Hill.
Too little real education, too much cheap entertainment, too bad.
time to RIDE THE LIGHTNING BY METALLICA!
I was interested UNTILLL...they just HAD to throw in the "as the planet warms" bullshyte. Then it was "bye bye" for moi.
David - we love your stories but please please fact check. Lightning does not hit people 250,000 times a year. You are off by over 10x!!
I just couldn't take this segment Seriously. It looks more Politically Charged than about th actual Science.
Just going with my Gut feeling on this one.
0:18 - Really though sandwich on the dash?
2:05 - 3:08 - You literally just contradicted your original statement... 'Comes up from the ground and up to the cloud' then 'lightning has already traveled a couple miles from the cloud to the ground'. If you're going to be interviewed and recorded be consistent in your information.
There's no contradiction. The electrical charge (too dim to see) comes DOWN from the cloud... the FLASH (the light itself) generally climbs UPWARD along that path.
