- ANOTHER strong storm blew directly over my house today (July 1 2015). The several nearby strikes can be seen building over multiple minutes, but the real action shows towards the end of the video around the 9-12min mark!
Location : South St. Louis Missouri near Tower Grove + Morganford
Facing North / Northwest at approximately 730pm CDT
A truly amazing display of lighting, and thunder which sounded more like explosions.
The storm started off seen as ominous dark clouds on the horizon, with distant rumbles of thunder.
As the storm drew closer, the intensity of the electrical potential in this storm became more obvious -- the surface winds completely dead, humidity topping 95% reaching near full precipitation levels.. temperatures in the mid to upper 80F range.
An incoming wall cloud is seen forming about half way through the video, coming directly towards my location.
Dozens of nearby lightning strikes occurred, several of which were around my house! Action really picks up at the end! @ 9min to the end OMG!
The storm became so intense I sought shelter inside due to nearby lightning strikes occurring with a few hundred feet or less.
Unfortunately this was recorded with my HTC windows 8x camera phone .. which has a slow CCD refresh rate, thus several of the flashes fall between frames, producing a cut off "flat line" effect. You can still make out the overall flashes regardless of the CCD's inability to capture the quick nature of several of these flashes.
Certainly one of the more intense nearby lightning storms I've ever been through.
Another storm blew through just the other day (June 28th) ... again slamming our area hard.. with a brunt of the storm hitting our neighborhood, it took out my neighbors tree while I was recording!
See that storm here:

OMG @ 11:21 ... a secret military jet equipped with smart bombs and lasers just got me! lol
ZAP.. BOOM.. and supersonic roar of some kind
It sounds like Zeus and Odin are having their shouting match!
BTW...That last one scared the shit out of me! I have ear buds in and I literally jumped...damn!
Just very glad you are alright!!! Daredevil!
dutchsinse can you see my comment? anyone...
Julia76087 k I can
Lol at the person mowing their lawn.
That would be my dad.
That takes nerves of steel to mow one's lawn during a thunderstorm, especially with such proximate lightning.
😂I was just thinking that and was going to comment and then I saw yours🤣
I have neighbor like this. Almost got me killed thinking storm was no big deal
You need to cut grass dry. No point waiting till after the storm has passed.
11:22 Man, that is some war of the worlds lightning shit right there.
lol u right aliens getting shoot in capsules lol .
no more time left lmao
Yeah i like how the birds on that tall leafless tree branch to the left booked it as soon as it was over them lol
"It really is dangerous"
*thunder clap*
*ends the video* XD
I enjoyed it that he said that with a completely neutral voice.
shoulda left the camera outside to film the rest. unless it wasnt a spare
no Technofan 330 thunder is n t dangerous but lightning is
What are Lightnings from grey clouds from nightmares
Technofan330 It is very dangerous.
Good god man 11:20 sounds like a super sonic fighter jet
wow hahaha, yeah
Thanks for the awesome share, Dutch! Seriously this is AWESOME and yet at this moment there are 9 thumbs down. Uhhh, why would anyone thumbs down THIS? Just fantastic storm!
They must have been jealous. LOL
Только за дрожащие руки оператора🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like God is out there firing off his shotgun! Interesting pink lightning.
Did that water main get repaired? Anyone find out what was the cause?
This reminds me of years ago when we had a lightning storm and a bolt came down and hit the transformer in my backyard! Shook the house, fried the transformer and torched my pine tree that was trying to disguise the ugly thing, lol! No power for hours and between the fire department and the power company, they trashed my flowers. 🤷🏼♀️
Awesome footage man!
PressResetEarth thanks ! It's almost every day now .. things getting a bit hairy around here!
Cool
Wow. I use to spend every summer in Florida. It reminds me of storms we use to get everyday there. Florida has some of the scariest thunderstorms i’ve ever experienced.
11:20 wow! That was epic ❤️
So close to comfort
Awesome footage- love those moments as a massive storm rolls in!
***** agreed 100% cheers!
Lightning purify s the earth of negative energy.So its a blessing.
Lightning adds ozone.
Who knows. A few could have been positive. :P
which is harmful to humans but helpful for recovering the ozone layer
You'll have to follow your first instinct when lightning is getting too close. You don't get a heck of a lot of warning but suddenly the hair on your arms and legs stands up and you need to get low and break the circuit quickly. Drop to your knees and get inside.
This should be a warning to: disconnect tv's, computer ac lines and internet modems,
etc. Disconnect telephones from phone line, pull out transformer from wall.
Never allow anyone to talk on the telephone during such storms.Use common sense.

As a big thunderstorm enthusiast and weather amateur, what I think many people don't know is that those big CG lightning strikes that are striking right next to this guy's place near the end of the video are positively charged ones that originate from the sides of the middle and upper parts of this big cumulonimbus cloud tower / organized storm (which the head is likely above 40,000 feet from the ground and since it's the summertime).
They're a lot more powerful and bigger than the negatively charged lightning strikes that usually happen under the base or in the core of the storm cell that was still a good ways from him in this video.
Awesome lightning vid. Wish this was at night though..
I saw lightning like this at night and so frequent before it came overhead that I had not seen in 10 years where I live last year especially during the spring and it was awesome, but unusual of course. I should upload that one I took back in mid-April, on here.
Al EC you’re spot on there, the center of the lightning storm (and where the -ve lightning forks are striking) is still a bit further away beyond those tree tops and horizon, where it is much darker and with the huge downdraft under and beyond the roll cloud.
Around the middle of the video when the +ve lightning is striking very near, it appears the strikes are coming from the outside tops of the cumulonimbus/anvil cloud cell and flying straight down through the lighter coloured outside clusters of rapidly growing updrafts of cumulus / cumulonimbus clouds and thundering down to the ground!
Very dangerous type of lightning that catches a lot of people out, incredibly scary if you’ve had a close shave! The noise is incomparable to anything!
11:22 - R.I.P Headphone users
I did use headphones but kept the level down.
+David Jamison, Nice Job
The lack of overhang with the Thunder is very interesting. It's all positive lightning, very rare. Such a scary storm.
I think it's more likely to be negative lightning, most of these have lots of branching / pre crackling and multiple strokes
Mane that storm was intense with them excessive frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes we get those type of storm down here in the southeast in the late spring and into the summer but mane if conditions was really really ripe for a major tornado outbreak? that storm would have spell trouble for y'all folks the way that lightning and thunder was going on and sounding but i guess luckily conditions weren't ripe for tornadoes is i'm right? and thanks for the video
I'm so glad you mentioned how different the thunder & lightening is sounding, etc. I've been telling people here in Phoenix, for the past 3-4 monsoon seasons that something has seriously changed in the way that the storms (lightening/thunder) is acting and sounding.. It almost sounds very un-natural..? Also, I was born in KCMO, and spent lots of my time growing up there. A week ago, being there, during one massive storm- losing electricity, etc. My 95 yr. Old grandmother made the statement that she has never in her life seen or heard a storm like that..? Well, that says a lot, cause she's lived there her entire life, and been thru several tornados, etc. Something has changed, without a doubt. But, just wanted to tell you, I've been noticing the same anomalies here in AZ. Since about 2011.? Don't know exactly why, other than geoengineering.
some (most) lightning is "negative" while some lightning is "positive". The strikes in the video are definitely positive. They are much more powerful and they sound like explosions
The sound, the sound of this storm sounds manmade, just hyped up beyond normal 100 fold! Crazy!
God bless you.
Lightening storms like this one are a regular occurrence here in Florida. Just be careful with being outside. Several people a year are stuck by lightening here when they think the lightening is miles away. Good video, looks like Thor was misbehaving with his hammer again. LOL
Angry looking beautiful storm
11:20 that was definitely a positive lightning strike

The Lakota say the Wakinyan (Thunderbeings ) live in the clouds!
Looks like the "Thunderbeings" are on the war path
kay vanvorce sure does!
Crazy Horse on his death bed and last words to the Wacasa Wakan (Holy Man) were.... when the Wakinyan appeared, he was returning to the Oyate (People) in the Sky.The Thunder you hear is the sound of the hoofs of his horse and the cracking lighting is to be his warrior voice to those below. For those of us that watch ALL signs and now the pattern and the voice of the Thunderbeings... it has changed and with the Maka Ina (Grandmother Earth) beginning to re-heal herself in this cleansing, they now are traveling Horizontally in Father Sky then Vertically. And their voices are truly speaking a new language. Wopila for the voice and sharing. Toksa
Laurie Good Hands Woman Wheeler Hi Laurie! Much love to you and blessings!
Best thunderstorm video of all time
Thunder is my #1 Fear. This is a Perfect Example/Video showing why it’s that Scary for me
On the drive to work early one morning, about 5am, I drove through a lightning storm so severe I literally thought I was going to be struck any moment. Repeated, incessant strikes all around me made it seem like I was going through a time warp or something. There was no rain, or wind, just lightning. I've driven in terrible conditions before: tornadoes/large hail/blizzards, but this was by far the scariest driving experience I ever had.
Where was it if I may ask you?
200 Quakes in Iceland since last night:
icelandreview.com/news/2015/07/01/two-hundred-earthquakes-southwest-iceland
Magnitude 5 quakes in Greenland: very alarming!
Glacial lakes are rapidly draining because of the rapid melting of the ice and snow beneath the glacial lakes - bigger and bigger drain funnels allow the glacial lake water to rush downward - which rapidly erodes the ice tunnels which causes them to get wider which causes the melting to escalate which creates larger ice tunnels which melt even faster, etc. Glaciers are melting at a record pace - gigantic calving, ice bergs and their tsunamis are expected - meanwhile Arctic sea ice is rapidly melting which results in ocean waves that break up the ice even faster.
Human populations along Atlantic coastal areas and their rivers, from Canada to Florida, should prepare for massive flooding - migration from the northern hemisphere is strongly recommended as glacial melt from Antarctica's recent record melt is racing toward the equatorial bulge and will soon reach coastal regions of the Caribbean and Florida - as the snow melt from Greenland also arrives - the collision of glacial melt from the north and south is expected to cause massive flooding of Florida's coastal region.
The increase in quakes continue to alarm glaciologists who report that the melting and adjustments going on beneath the surface of the ice sheet could soon be catastrophic.
Pack and leave before it's too late.

This one reminds me of my Galaxy S5 behind a closed window, back in 2016, when I lived on Atkinson St. in Bellows Falls, Vermont. My Galaxy S5 was bass-biased like this one!
My daughters both live in Lemay and I live in High Ridge, very familiar with MorganFord area. The lightening is giving us a show right now :D
Gina L Guccione Yes.. South County getting hit HARD ! Hope all is well.. looks like serious lightning down your way too..
I can't help but watch this repeatedly. Used to live in St. Louis. Darnedest thunder I've ever heard.
Fun fact: Missouri Was The Eastern Starting Point For The Pony Express
You know its less than a mile away when there's a bright flash and less than 2 seconds later a really loud thunderclap occurs. Best get indoors when that happens
Long time no talk Dutch. Yeah the storm Tore my plant up with the lightning. It actually blew a hole in the wall of one of our buildings and melted I-Beams and the Ameran Utility box. It blew the meter Off the wall and across the parking lot.
Dang then this storm definitely was able to kill someone yeah this storm was no joke with death sounding thunder
We had similar in SE Scotland last night. Never seen so much lightning in my life. I loved it. According to the met office there were 15273 lightning strikes over Scotland in the last 34 hours. More due on Saturday. Can't wait.
That scared the xhit out of me ⚡⚡⚡ I jumped big time!!! 😳😯😀🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's weird there is NO echo from the thunder... 😯
That was great!! I so miss thunderstorms and lightning. You were making me giggle at the end. Loud crack “oops Best go inside”. 🎉😂❤😅
Blaardy hell!!
What a storm., thank you!
I can hear someone feverishly trying to finish mowing before the storm hits. lol That looks like some serious cloud to ground positive (+CG) lightning. There are some really good, recent studies on it. Some of it can be like "super lightning" or "mega lightning" with enough power to damage aircraft. There was a sailplane in Germany that was obliterated by a bolt of super lightning and luckily the guy had a parachute on.
Wow Dutch. Storms are captivating, beautiful and very scary when it's close. Hope you share this with Reed Timmer. Did you feel the ground shake when it hit close? Sometimes our whole house shakes when we have a lot of close lightening. 🙂
Best narration so far under stress! Be careful out there dont put your life on the line.
Amazing thunderstorm.Nice!!!
I had a dream the same night of this storm which had extreme lightening. My interpretation is CERN is affecting the earth causing this strange lightening behavior!!! Great vid
My sista the Most High showed me this ,he was bringing very large tornado size lighting upon the earth. It's was nighttime, but the lighting was so bright that it lit up the whole sky.
I also had a second vision, that ,a pillar of fire was coming towards me, I was trying to get away from it,I ran into my shower grabbing the shower head ,I started approaching the pillar of fire, it seems that the Most High was showing me something, I came in front of the earth, so he throws his fire towards me, I then start spraying the water at the fire .This was spectacular seeing this because the fire and water mix creating lighting.This was his judgments, because the lighting was striking the earth.

How interesting. This was on the same day as when a *crazy lightning storm* struck Central California! Lightning was somewhat like this. Almost struck the house twice and it was constant.
WHERE ARE YOU DUTCH! I'm so worried about you!
when you turned the camera of, was there more bad lightning?
Saint Louis weather in a nutshell
You get four seasons in one day, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes
Kate Smith Ohio weather is the same way.
Wisconsin all the way
Stay safe fella, don't put yourself in danger
It's hard to go in because of how cool it is even though I know I should. Love the Lightning .
A new favorite to put on when I'm relaxing those sounds of summer everyone of them was a joy to hear
Thank you so very much Dutch, old video and all... I loved it
New Mexico here,strange weather. Extreamly hot. I have been taking pictures here and seen faces in the clouds. Never seen nothing like it in my life!
Look in the northwest sky between nine thirty and ten thirty pm...when the sky is clear. There is a massive bright gold star which is not Venus or Jupiter. It is the incoming star system people talking about and the cause of the increasing magnetic and gravitational disturbances occurring around Earth. Peace.
Wow, what a great capture! That storm was amazing. I never heard thunder like that before, like you said, no echo effect, just a bomb sound and then abrupt silence. Hardly any rolling sound. Sounded kind of "other worldly" and creepy. Any idea what atmospheric and/or topographic reasons are at play?
First thing I thought was thunder sounds wrong for what I can see for terrine. Sounds more like thunder in the desert where its flat all around. Just booms, and disappears
I have never see this ... you should take it very easy with this crazy lightning storm..
awesome video & best on UA-cam 👍 5/5 from me 👍
That is a MAJOR storm...the lightning and thunder is on level THOR
YEAH👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
who hates thunderstorms or lightningstorm say me 🙋
That is one funny ending! 😂
I'm no expert but how many of these were +ve strikes? The thunder is nothing like that associated with common or garden -ve ones. Epic though, you were braver than I would have been!
Static GALORE!!! What the heck was that?
95 Degrees today in Oregon. Its been so hot the past 3 weeks or 4. 90+ every day!
***** Yes, VERY strange for the valley this time of the year. A month ago, it was in the 90's, too, for a day or two. That was EXTREMELY odd for here. Usually, it is still gray, drizzly and cool with highs in the 60's and only begins to warm-up during the last week of June or beginning of July. We usually do not experience this type of weather until middle July through August, and then, only for a week or so, then it is over.
***** Yeah. Something is "screwy".
A Yema Very hot again today. It was about 97 here so hot!
***** It was a record breaking 101 where I live.
Judy hops Lightning hits Road on Zootopia
dude your just like me lol staying true till the last minuets I got a trick I started using I put my phone in the window seal and let it record so I don't risk getting hit my self I have before back in New Mexico but God that wall could was simply amazing and the thunder didn't echo which wisely you did stop after it was almost on top of you how bad did it get after you called it off? also I do it till I fill I'm a risk of getting hit which last year 5 driffrant times lol
Why is this so Funny for some reason
11:22 - 11:38 Funny 😅😂🤣
I like the cloud wall. Love recording storms. Cool video.
It's a pity we don't see the strikes near the end of the video. and from a window on a higher floor it could be safe to continue recording?
Was 11:21 actually a supersonic boom??
And somebody is mowing their lawn with this coming
Can't blame them that 4 foot tall grass needs to go lol seriously tho he might've had earphones on
@@Maximus1879- That's the kind of thunder you can feel through your feet!
Wow.
Got To Be The Best Storm On UA-cam.
Lightning strikes are deadly like I told you
Great storm! Those lightning strikes did sound like explosions. Looks very dangerous.
Sonic did it she hit lightning
THAT WAS SOME LOUD THUNDERSTORM!
What kind if camera did you use? Did you use an external mic or the built in mic?
Mowing the lawn during a thunderstorm-Most STL thing ever.
Are you done giving weekly earthquake reports?
bri alder Srsly where is he?
He's in St. Louis, Missouri.
That was intense, I wish I could see more because here in California is dry. It rain two times this January but nothing like this . Thanks for posting and be safe.
Dutch, that is both BEAUTIIFUL and AMAZING🤩🥰
I absolutely LOVE a good storm (call me crazy)!!!
Back in the day, I'd leash up my dog and walk out in that stuff w/o an umbrella... tempting the lightning... being cocky and thrilled all at the same time👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing bro!💜
We're is dutchi? 7 days since a video hope he comes back
Dude in the beginning of the video you sounded like a bot that people talk on the phone these days
Oh yea and were right about the whole lightning thing sounding like an explosion, I agree because it would struck once and then boom and that's all you heard
Nice catch
but this stuff is happening everywhere.
8:24 loud lighting
Beautiful Place......|
Shoo-eee, that storm meant business. Excellent video.
Nice Dutch.... Be safe and thank you for sharing with us... By the way, a volcano update would greatly appreciated for the following volcanoes: Sinabung, Asame and Hakone.... Thanks again... Love from Montréal, Canada.... Our summer here is cooler than usual...
Miss your reports. Saw where volcano is causing Bali airport to close. Things are still happening.
Truth Seeker7 I miss dutchsinse too. I hope everything is okay. He is the first channel I go to first above all others. Sad face :(
Those loud thunderclaps are loud enough to scare the voices away!
Those clouds look NASTY!! Eerie. Be careful with that lightning please! Great video, though. It’s the mothership!
It's the mother of all motherships be very grateful your still alive my friend after that storm
2015 was brutal for storms (I'm in southern Ontario Canada and we had some spectacular ones that year)
Great footage!.......Just as a PSA....... I've heard lighting can strike a "distant" location up to about fifty miles away in and instant. It can travel as fast as...............Stay safe in St Louie!
Lightning can strike 8to10 miles from an active storm. Never heard of 50 miles
@@laurariner8960 Look again but it can. It's more about the conditions and less about the location. This is lightening we're talking about...... weather by large is mostly unpredictable do to it being nature (wild).
What happen to you
Epic video!!!
انه برق خطير
PS. If nothing else can you post a line of how your doing to your fans out here in youtube land who are wondering if your ok?
Thank you for sharing this video I love it.
GOD IS AWESOME THANKS TO GOD
