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
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.)
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.
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.
I wish I was there I hope I can record footage of storms just like that in North Carolina in the spring and summer season where I live in the Outer Banks But man what a killer storm❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hey Ronald, do you have an email address we can use to contact you regarding this video? I'd love to discuss a license to use this if possible! Cheers, Felix
The sound of thunder changes in a violent storm…this one was definitely changed….great video folks!!!!👍👍👍👍
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.

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

Thunder like that immediately after flashes that bright meant the strikes were extremely close. Not very smart to be outside in those conditions.

I was watching this live and this was amazing! You had a perfect view of it!
Lightning is no joke!!!! These thunderclaps sound gutwrenching on surround sound!!!! Too bad you didn't catch the entire storm!!!
MAN, those thunderclaps are just KILLER!!
Super charged! ⚡️
Very dangerous , this thundery shower, lightning strikes , real awesome
Damn dude, scareless from the lightning, it was me i would run in the First light
Me too, im even scared at home
Wild weather in rampage with lightning and the rain of the mesocyclone thunderstorm.
Súpercelda
Jeez, that's terrifying!
That was cool.
Like how the 2nd thunder strike around 0:37 interrupts the one that came before it
That lightning is fantastic, you're brave for standing in the open doorway yikes!
Nothing makes a man feel safer from lightning than standing behind a 3mm thick skeeter screen.
Crazy I will not be outside or either close to any window
OMG!!
I wish I was there
I hope I can record footage of storms just like that in North Carolina in the spring and summer season where I live in the Outer Banks
But man what a killer storm❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
And how did you not twitch after several close lightning strikes!?
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!!!
This is weigh, too short. Sorry, but I really love that thunder. Keep up the great work!
Very lucky to not get struck great footage though. And I love the thunder at 36 seconds in.
Nice distortion free sound! What phone you use to film?
Id say a good 5-8 miles. That close
Storms are cool but that's a total stay indoors and be ready to be a safe place, kind of storm.
Get some we’re no lightning

theres a storm brewing
Gettin' ready to wipe out another she shed....
Как вы выжили такую грозу 😨😨😨😨
Was anyone struck by lightning during this?!? Crazy
Reportedly 6 were struck when this storm hit Bridgeville DE
Nothing makes me smile more than a coffee and donuts in the morning with my cousins Alfridges.
What the hell is an "Alfridges"?
Tormenta electrica
É azn
Thor
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
You should’ve got in the car since it acts as a faraday cage, that lightning was too close,
Ok video, but please stay safe. It's not every day you get a second chance at life.
