Absolutely stunning storm video! I really enjoyed this. I'm from Ontario where we used to get storms like this, but have lived in BC now for over 20 years where we get probably 2 or 3 storms per year, and I really miss storms like these, so I'm living vicariously through your video. Thanks for posting!
This is a memory I will never forget. I've lived in Lakewood for 21 years and have never seen lightning like that before that night. I mean there was no pause between the flashes for a good hour. And even then I was bummed when it stopped :-(
Well, here's a little more from Denver last summer. I am fairly close to Lakewood, but the footage was taken from my 12th floor window in the evening. See any tornadoes in this lightning storm from last summer here in Denver? The storm was over the mountains & it was in the evening. I couldn't tell.

@@reflectionsoftheday3894 Hi there. I hate to tell you this, but I can't pull up either of those videos. Could you please make sure the actual links are included on separate lines, because some people use screen readers, and we have to use the "Enter" key to click on each link. I even tried the "Shift-Enter", and it sent me to the reporting action, and that wasn't appropriate now, was it? It's not your fault. Yes, I just happen to be totally blind, and I love lightning/thunderstorms. Thank you so much for your assistance in advance. Heather
Nice to see someone with brains enough to keep the camera still, in focus and without a bunch of brainless commentary. I've only found 4 videos thus far worth downloading and this was one! Thanks again.
At about 0:26 seconds in there is some strange thunder like its broken or something, I heard this during a storm the other day, would you know what causes that because I have never heard that before ?
It happens because cloud to cloud lighting bolts overhead may travel for miles but not in a straight line so the sound gets to you at different times. If the bolt turns toward or away from you at close to 90 degrees, it can create gaps and overlap in the sound because the bolt itself travels so much faster than the speed of sound.
@GonzoREDSUNS Glad you enjoyed it. Colorado gets 2nd most lightning storms in the U.S, behind Florida. We get a storm like this about once or twice a year, although this was the best I've ever seen.
Dis is not in the Netherlands ua-cam.com/video/dJBzjPVjcXo/v-deo.html but this though and ua-cam.com/video/23MjMOJ_9Vg/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/K7yVwu63NMI/v-deo.html .
Lightning is my favourite thing about summer, love when the rain passes and it's just sight and acoustics and you can feel the rumble in your feet! Wow is right!👏🏾😮
This was a great one. I had forgotten about my recording of it and then while I was watching it a number of other people's showed up too. It was a great storm. We are in Idaho now and don't get storms like that. I miss them!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! NO TALKING JUST THAT THUNDER AND LIGHTNING! YEAAAHHHH! I know YOU couldn't help for that street light being in the frame shot, but it was still mostly dark, AND I LIKE IT WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY DARK, THEN THE FLASHES AND THE BOOMS ARE JUST THAT MORE INCREDIBLE! I know you had to focus over there though to get it all; you couldn't get that shot without getting the street light; not your fault. GREAT VIDEO BRO! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SOME MORE OF YOURS! I subscribed, and thumbs up to you! THANKS FOR AN AWESOME VIDEO FILMED LIKE IT SHOULD BE. PERFECT! NEXT TIME, HAVE YOUR PHONE CBARGED UP BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE AN HOUR OF THAT! SECOND FAULT, TOO SHORT! !I still subscribed to you.
Thanks. I pointed the camera where the majority of the lightning was. Sometimes that meant the street light was more in frame than at other times. I was lucky because there's actually about 3 street lights right in front of me at the edge of the parking deck, and they were off. Normally they're not.
@@daemn42 I got it! I'm glad they were off! Nextime, you are gonna have go on the otherside of that parking lot when the next storm comes or starts; lol! I also went ahead and changed what I said at first. Soooo, you do know how to really record a storm heeyyy?? YEAH! I see; yes! You know how to do it, but MANY DO NOT! I wish I could explain, but I am too tired, which is why I make mistakes, and I try to go faster than my big fingers can go accurately, and then, I don't like to check for mistakes, lol, but I did for you! (-: Thanks for an awesome video!!!
@@iwrotesomuchihadtodeleteit1352 The other side of the lights is a the Denver Federal Center. I film from where I do because the building at my back gets wider as it goes up so it overhangs the area area I'm setup, and allows me to film without getting rained on. Filming lightning outdoors is not easy.
Thanks. I'll never know why some people click dislike. Personally I only do it for false advertising (video doesn't deliver what title or thumbnail is representing). Maybe this lightning storm just wasn't "incredible" enough for some. Maybe it displays poorly on a particular video card or monitor, or they didn't bother to play it with good sound. We'll never know.
I agree! Such a spectacle of nature is greater than man can ever match in creation so, wonderful filming and thanks for sharing. Oh, was this a supercell? :)
daemn42 I guess where they have something similar or more is in the deserts of Sahara. I happenned to be in Jeddah Saudi Arabia one time. When a thunderstorm is going down, lightining is almost continously flashing and cloud to ground could happen many times as you watch. Unbelievably dangerous since it seems there is no need for tall things. Lightining drops on anything and seems to love flat land!!. Scared me.
I like these lightning sounds. They remind me in 80s when i was young there used to be these sounds in my home where i was raised here in Kenya in nyandarua county of which they are no more. keep it up we like this. joseph Njogu.
It's an internal lens reflection. The bolt of lightning is pretty close but almost directly overhead, just out of frame, and that is caught by the front lens element and reflected into the forward view and appearing abnormally close. Happens in many other short lightning videos, where some people will mistakenly claim that the bolt was as close as it looks.
Bridget Murphy If you're referring to the blue glow at the bottom at 5:18 (and I think one other place in the video) that's usually when lightning strikes a power transformer or power lines and the transformer burns up while electricity is flowing through it for a few seconds longer.
Hard to say, because it started after dark, and I wasn't watching the radar. It moved pretty fast from just above the mountains near where I live out to the east over the plains, so I don't think it was a supercell (which usually form over the plains). The lightning held up the pace you see in the video for about 30 minutes.
daemn42 we had a storm similar to this in july 2014 on the southern coast of the british Isle. I was on holiday in Brighton at the time im not sure if it was the same storm or if it was two seperate storm as it was a spanish plume some ametuer forcasters said it was a MCS
In terms of sheet lightning Chris it doesn't last as long as CG Lightning, in our coastal town in the UK we had a freak storm exactly like this, the lightning was ballistic in terms of power, plus its energy surges were far greater than a sheet storm we had just 3 days ago. I personally think there is no difference between SL and CGL strikes. If there are then it must be very marginal! I hope this helped :)
Thanks. No fog, just moderately heavy rain for a while. Stock microphones on the Canon SX-30IS camera, which were way better than the mics on later generations of the same camera. Wind blocked by the building at my back so didn't need screens over the mics, and building helps intensify the sound a bit as well. Other advantage of old SX30 was a CCD sensor so no rolling shutter artifacts which are common in most current lightning videos shot with CMOS sensor cameras.
The spot I choose is the back edge of a parking deck that juts out from the side of a 10 story tall hotel that gets wider as it goes up (overhangs) so it blocks a lot of rain and wind. I figure the closest lightning would hit the top of the building or one of the light poles on the other side of the deck. Just about anywhere, from inside your car, is reasonably safe.
Thanks. There are a few other lightning videos on my channel. Obviously I don't control when the lightning storms like this occur, but will certainly post up when I catch the next one. ;)
It was pouring and it was real windy and you know the Sky wouldn't stop flashing! I hope this can happen in Houston another time cuz I just think it's so awesome!!
Good lightning show and you have a good camera and because I'm saying this is that your camera has the true nature sound and the sound is not stuffy sounded and one part of the video is the creepy part is the sirens and the incredible rolling thunder. Hope everyone is ok....

Which would you rather have tornado, lightning, thunder, rain wind, hail, thunderclap siren I love it all, but I know tornadoes very destructive weather. They’re beautiful. Would you have the supercell thunderstorm? I don’t know how many types of thunderstorms there are, but I know there’s a lot of them. Some don’t produce tornadoes. Here it happens during the spring and summertime depending on where you are, I’m from Badgerland
I lived in westminster Colorado when this storm hit you couldn't even go outside the lighting to ground was relentless I've never witnessed anything like it in my 36 years of life.
Well done! Were themergency vehicles responding to a lightning strike? Come to the Lightning Data Center meeting at St. Anthony Hospital. 11:30 to 1 p.m., 2nd Friday of every month.
Awesome video!! How long did the storm last and did the lightning scare you at all? I love thunderstorms....I used to live in Colorado Springs and I remember the storms we had while living there but now I live in LA and get hardly any thunderstorms at all....maybe I need to move back!
+C Evans (littleartichoke1) Very intense lightning (pace of what you see at the beginning) for about 25-30 minutes, then tapered off for next 15-20 minutes as storm moved off to the east of me. Not scared of lightning where I was at as I figure it would hit the top of the building I'm standing near first. Colorado is 2nd in the nation for lightning, behind Florida (which is first in the world).
I remember watching that storm from the kitchen window of my house I wasn’t videotaping lightning that year Three years before I started videotaping my thunderstorms
Great vid! I'm into lightning too, as you saw from my vid intro. The lightning strike shown is from another UA-camr but the SOUND is from a strike I recorded myself so close I almost dropped the cam. I'd like to use some of yours (with your permission, of course). I saw you're into R.O.V.s as well COOL! I have a Deep Trekker and used it recently to explore a flooded cave in my area.
Wow.I was born and raised in Los Angeles and we rarley get lightning. The last time we had lightning was at 2011 but it also came with wind going 80mph.
really amazing video of a storm dude, i was wondering if i could use it for a greenscreen video, with ur permission, I'll leave a link to ur channel too. :)
Cool Vid-Thanks for Posting, Miss those great Summer Boomers..I lived in Castle Rock and experienced what I thought were the most violent lightning storms ever...Wind wise they are still the worst, but for overall Violence, amount of Strikes and water...That would be Ajijic, Mexico in Jalisco State on the Shore of Lake Chapala..lived there for a year and the lightning there is surreal. People are killed daily and yet they still walk the lake shore during the storm like it's no big deal...found that a bit hard to believe unjtil i witnessed it...lived on the lake front.
The dynamic range is too high to do it any other way. I have good quality audio recorder which I've tried to use for other lightning storms, and if I turn off AGC and adjust the level down enough to avoid clipping on closer thunder, then much of the mid/distant thunder is lost. Turn the level up a little, and the closer thunder is ruined with clipping.
Odd.. I don't imagine lower volume information getting lost that easily, especially if the recorder is set at a high sample rate such as 24-bit. If the resulting dynamic range is way too much for youtubes 16-bit audio however which I doubt, then I'd recommend some normalization then mild fast-attack compression, to have a bit of a balance.
i just pranked the flat above me with this :) have this running with 400watt sub 2 camera flashes and a hose pipe outside....but i love this video i am supprised it does not have a higher count for you ..well done ..we need more of this in the u.k.
+Brian Bruno No, I was outside. There's a 7-8 story tall building that is wider at the top than the the bottom, which blocks the rain, especially when the storm is coming in from the other side of the building.
MSMTK I actually saw a storm like this once in San Jose. Folks kept telling me "It never does this here". They also told me it never snows there, but I saw snow on all the surrounding low hills once while there on a different trip. Guess the interesting weather just follows me around. ;)
Billy baggins The camera is on a tiny little tripod and the head was a little loose, so it tilted down by itself at that moment and showed the concrete table it was sitting on. Kept it in the video because I still wanted to capture the thunderclap.
I had a thunder and lightening storm just like this one yesterday in south east London. it went on for hours .i have never seen or heard any thing like that b4 I went to bed . i normaly like storms but not this one .really freaked us all out.and i am surprised to find this video of a storm as bad its just that same as the one we had awesome storm as powerful as yesterday 7/16/2016 whats going on with the weather floods in wallington too ,madness
I always enjoy big lightning/thunder storms. As for what's going on. Put more total heat into the oceans and atmosphere and you'll get more energetic storms. Every month in 2016 (and the 8 before that) have been officially recognized as the hottest month (respectively) in recorded history.
oh poor you that must have been awful I seriously would not like that at all I love thunder storms and i have been out many many times when there has been big storms and i alway have the thought in the back of my mind am i goingt o get struck it scares me alot once my hair started to rise and i ran home
This is amazing, I remember watching this video like 10 years ago, no clue how many times I have lol always love uploading storm videos!

Oh okes that cleared that up :3
I've almost been struck by lightning it struck the floor two feet in front of me only a glass door between me and it.
daemn42 what was that light off in the distance
Bridget Murphy If you're referring to the blue glow at the bottom at 5:18 (and I think one other place in the video) that's usually when lightning strikes a power transformer or power lines and the transformer burns up while electricity is flowing through it for a few seconds longer.
I think it's just an optical illusion created by the camera lense.
Amazing hard thunderstorm . Congratulations from France 🙏
I wish we got storms like that. Weather on long island sucks. Someday I want to move I am thinking about around Lakewood. how is it?
Was this a single cell thunderstorm, mcs thunderstorm or a supercell and how long did it rage for
Hard to say, because it started after dark, and I wasn't watching the radar. It moved pretty fast from just above the mountains near where I live out to the east over the plains, so I don't think it was a supercell (which usually form over the plains).

daemn42 as it came in two waves
Is cloud to cloud lightning faster than cloud to ground
In terms of sheet lightning Chris it doesn't last as long as CG Lightning, in our coastal town in the UK we had a freak storm exactly like this, the lightning was ballistic in terms of power, plus its energy surges were far greater than a sheet storm we had just 3 days ago. I personally think there is no difference between SL and CGL strikes. If there are then it must be very marginal! I hope this helped :)
Wow, Incredible lightning. I live in Oregon and when it Thunders out, it's at most about 3 flashes a minute
i live in oregon tpp
too*^%
I love the sound of rain, lightening and thunder. The best part is the scenery!
Desiree Gurule I agree with you there, trouble is, while you are listening to the rain, it makes you need the toilet lol
Lol
Its the same when we have thunder and lightening here, as soon as the rain starts, you can hear the toilet saying im here lol
I am memorised by the lightening, I wait till the end of summer, go on line and get the best pic's of the lightening
that always fascinates me, the intricate patterns
Subbed. Fenominal catches. Seemed like abit of fog in this storm. Great audio for a 2011 video must have got great microphones. Just absolutely WOW.

Wow one of the best storms I have seen how often do they come like that
Thanks. I see storms like this in this part of Colorado about once or twice a year. Often in July.
Dam sometimes we get the odd bad storm here in the uk but it rare it happens would love to see something like that

The filming location is about a half mile from a hospital
Probably accidents that people got in during the storm
That is one heck of a lightning storm right there dude!!!!!!!!!
Excelent sound!!
Best vid I've seen yet!
Very nice lightning footage.
Thanks, glad you like it.
I remember watching that storm from the kitchen window of my house I wasn’t videotaping lightning that year Three years before I started videotaping my thunderstorms
Wow.. this is awesome I love thunderstorms
Where did you stand?? For what I got, you were outside, at the board of a sidewalk 👀 ain't it?
Great vid! I'm into lightning too, as you saw from my vid intro. The lightning strike shown is from another UA-camr but the SOUND is from a strike I recorded myself so close I almost dropped the cam. I'd like to use some of yours (with your permission, of course). I saw you're into R.O.V.s as well COOL! I have a Deep Trekker and used it recently to explore a flooded cave in my area.
now this is what i call a badass storm
thanks for uploading, really enjoyed watching this with my music :)
We had one at night in London Ky at night in 2015 and it was scary!
Were you outside when filming the video?
+Sam Najikhoie Yes. See reply to other recent comments for details.
Wow.I was born and raised in Los Angeles and we rarley get lightning. The last time we had lightning was at 2011 but it also came with wind going 80mph.
were u in a car when taping this????!!!
wow! thats AWESOME!

Cool Vid-Thanks for Posting, Miss those great Summer Boomers..I lived in Castle Rock and experienced what I thought were the most violent lightning storms ever...Wind wise they are still the worst, but for overall Violence, amount of Strikes and water...That would be Ajijic, Mexico in Jalisco State on the Shore of Lake Chapala..lived there for a year and the lightning there is surreal. People are killed daily and yet they still walk the lake shore during the storm like it's no big deal...found that a bit hard to believe unjtil i witnessed it...lived on the lake front.
where is lakewood
Lakewood, Colorado, USA
Amazing just close your eyes and listen feels great
Awesome capture!
Very active thunderstorm, good video also.
its a shame that the audio has been hindered by the cameras Auto Gain Control
The dynamic range is too high to do it any other way. I have good quality audio recorder which I've tried to use for other lightning storms, and if I turn off AGC and adjust the level down enough to avoid clipping on closer thunder, then much of the mid/distant thunder is lost. Turn the level up a little, and the closer thunder is ruined with clipping.
Odd.. I don't imagine lower volume information getting lost that easily, especially if the recorder is set at a high sample rate such as 24-bit.
If the resulting dynamic range is way too much for youtubes 16-bit audio however which I doubt, then I'd recommend some normalization then mild fast-attack compression, to have a bit of a balance.
Awesome lightning show.
That storm was absolutely ridiculous
i just pranked the flat above me with this :) have this running with 400watt sub 2 camera flashes and a hose pipe outside....but i love this video i am supprised it does not have a higher count for you ..well done ..we need more of this in the u.k.
I'm Britain we just had a lightning storm like this but without the sounds
were u in a car when taping this??!?!?!
+Brian Bruno No, I was outside. There's a 7-8 story tall building that is wider at the top than the the bottom, which blocks the rain, especially when the storm is coming in from the other side of the building.
I love those sounds
1:20 Bead lightning
Crazy
ELECTRIFYING!! GREAT JOB!! ⛈⚡️🌪 Supercell?
Wish we had storms like this in CA we barely get anything at all.
MSMTK I actually saw a storm like this once in San Jose. Folks kept telling me "It never does this here". They also told me it never snows there, but I saw snow on all the surrounding low hills once while there on a different trip. Guess the interesting weather just follows me around. ;)
daemn42 Do you think you can edit the background sounds out like the ambulance and some weird groaning out?
daemn42 What is THAT at 0:07.
Billy baggins The camera is on a tiny little tripod and the head was a little loose, so it tilted down by itself at that moment and showed the concrete table it was sitting on. Kept it in the video because I still wanted to capture the thunderclap.
daemn42 can you play video games during a storm like this or no?
I had a thunder and lightening storm just like this one yesterday in south east London. it went on for hours .i have never seen or heard any thing like that b4
I went to bed . i normaly like storms but not this one .really freaked us all out.and i am surprised to find this video of a storm as bad
its just that same as the one we had awesome storm as powerful as yesterday 7/16/2016
whats going on with the weather floods in wallington too ,madness
I always enjoy big lightning/thunder storms. As for what's going on. Put more total heat into the oceans and atmosphere and you'll get more energetic storms. Every month in 2016 (and the 8 before that) have been officially recognized as the hottest month (respectively) in recorded history.
well you know what that means ,,, ,,yes you guessed it we will all be in hot pants for winter lol
I had one similar to this yesterday, even though the chances of actually getting struck are like 1 in 10,000, it was so scary. I actually cried.
oh poor you that must have been awful
I seriously would not like that at all
I love thunder storms and i have been out many many times when there has been big storms and i alway have the thought in the back of my mind
am i goingt o get struck it scares me alot once my hair started to rise and i ran home
+loopiewho woah... that sucks. The lightning I was in yesterday was so close to me, it was horrifying
