- During the afternoon of Wednesday 17th June 2020 a rather nasty storm developed over Templecombe. Around 1500 the sky darkened and heavy rain started followed by rumbles of thunder at around 15:5. The rain got heavier and the thunder louder with bolts of lightning every few minutes. by about 1530 the storm was overhead, a bolt of lightning flashed down followed by car alarms going off and some very deep rumbles of thunder. A house about 300 yards away had been hit leaving a whole in the roof and a lot of internal damage........
Quite a capture! Nice work!
Hi, thanks so much for watching, glad that you enjoyed the video. Best Wishes Pete
I always get depressed driving thru there, remembering the once mighty goods yards and the huge railway operation reduced to a single line from a massive 24 hour operation :( I live a bit up the line in Gill so if you see a manic 3 wheel van running bout the place... that be mine ironically at the mo in the garage built on one of Wincanton's old goods yards... next stop up from Templecombe, the platform is actually just overgrown but unless they want to knock down a ton of houses no chance of putting the ol' S&D back ever.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to write about the old station etc. Sorry for the very late reply but inly just found your comments. Cheers Pete
4:44, thunder is louder at this part, strangly...
Hi Anthony, thanks for watching my video. I checked back and yes it is a bit louder, it could be because the first part was slowed down a bit to capture the bolt a bit better. The bolt hit the roof of a semi-detached house several hundred yards away and blew all the power points out of the walls. Luckily the house was empty and no fire started but the roof had a large hole punched in it. BT had to replace a large number of wifi hubs in the village, luckily I had disconnected all appliances when the storm started. Happy New Year Pete
@@ghostonthelinenother reason could just be how audio is recorded. I studied a bit of audio engineering but I’m not the best source. However, some consumer mics will go quieter when the microphone clips. This means the loudest part will sound significantly quieter. This is really obvious when recording concerts with a phone. Now when I do recording, I do have the ability to add a limited which also does this but I don’t think that is why this happens in your video.
Edit: my audio engineer says it could also just be the frequency response of the microphone having more sensitivity to the lower rumbles than the higher pitched cracks.
Hi, thanks for you input to this video. When I uploaded it I never thought that would bring so many varied responses. Best Regards Pete
3:59 that strike was right on you!!! and 4:37!!!
On playback I realise it's the same strike.
Yes that is correct, I just added the same clip in slow motion. It was a very scary morning. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best Regards Pete
4:37 that was definitely a positive CG strike
Definitely shocking, cheers Pete
It was a super bolt lightning they comes from the upper part of the comulunimbus or anvil cloud if they strike they can be powerful and sound like this or like a loud canon shot
But they have some different sounds its just a bit rare if they hit the ground
Just past the anniversary of the strike. Cheers Pete
Hi, thanks for the info. Cheers Pete
3:58 in to the video was a very loud one too. Sonic Boom Thunder.
1st Strike was Louder than the 2nd one into the video because it got muted out.
Thanks for watching and for your comments 👍👍
I remember this thunderstorm. We were isolating in my grandmother's house in Marnhull. Was stirring a pasta sauce I was making, a sudden flash and a very loud thunderclap followed!
Hi Joshua, thanks for watching and commenting, I can't believe that it's nearly a year since the storm... Cheers Pete
Great video but unfortunatly not a superbolt, superbolts generally tend to form over large bodies of water and usually happen in winter in the northern hemisphere, the energy carried in one of these strikes is ~1000x more than an average lightning bolt, so if it had been a superbolt most likely the house that got struck would no longer be standing and everyone nearby would be needing new windows. 😅
Hi thanks for watching and for your comments. It has been amazing that this video has brought so many responses and I am grateful for all of them. I certainly don't want ever to go through it again, very frightening especially for the owner of the house that was struck. Cheers Pete
I had a thunderstorm like this in Leicester but it was a Friday and it was the last day of July and this day gave two thunderstorms in Leicester one being on one side and the other being on the other and I kid you not there was a positive CG lightning strike like this that hit so close to my home that it made me jump and I purely will never forget that moment (2020)
Thanks for watching the video, have not seen anything like that storm since. Cheers Pete
Good catch, and excellent sound throughout. Thanks.
Thanks fir your comments, I’ll tell you what it made me jump. Cheers Pete
@@ghostontheline those were MASSIVE BANGS OF THUNDER WOW
4:50 before the thunder started to disappear fully from that strike at 4:37 in the video. It was a good loud boom of thunder from 4:37-4:47 10 seconds of big booms.
Thanks for watching the video, really surprised that so many people have watched it, but not complaining. It was certainly an experience that I will never forget. .
Very beautiful houses!
Hi from Somerset, thank you for watch and commenting. Regards Peter
@@ghostontheline Thank you.
That was an awesome rare positive strike and nice thunder!! 🥰🌩⚡⚡
Wow. These are loud thunder. Also it's nearly 2022! 2021 is going so fast
Actually, that's a positive lightning strike, or anvil strike/super bolt, whatever some call it. Kinda rare, and extremely loud, like a sonic boom from a fighter jet. Lucky to catch one on video.
Thanks for watching and for all that interesting info. I can tell you It really caught me by surprise and also it punched a large hole in a roof very close by. Cheers Pete
I saw my first positive strike on Wednesday. Had been wanting to witness one for a few years now. The thunder from it was insane!
Its's getting much too often now. There was another similar strike a few days ago in Templecombe. Cheers Pete
Had one a half mile away, felt it in my chest, extremely loud.
It occured just now on my neighborhood in Indonesia.
Today I'm gonna get a thunderstorm in Nottingham UK! 🌩🌧😀
Hi, I hope you have a good one☔️⚡️⚡️⚡️☂️Cheers Pete
@@ghostontheline Well Yesterday it was Thundering Whilst I was at School O.o Thank God I didn't hear that thunder clap 👏
excellent catch⛈ with had rain but no thunder and lightning here in Kent
Hi Barry, apparently this lightning strike made it to the local paper. There were many BT broadband routers fried apart from roof and interior damage to the house that took the main hit. Cheers Pete
I would have jumped out of my skin, if I'd have been filming that. Well done.
Hi Titch, I did just after the bolt hit and had to scrap some of the video......
Here's me thinking you had nerves of steel. Great video thanks.
Damn now that was some storm ⚡️ good video, I’m ur new sub.
Hi Joseph, thanks for watching, have subbed your channel. I wonder what 2021 will throw up in the way of thunder storms. I know that I certainly don't want one so close!!!!! Cheers Pete
Hopefully we will get some good storms this year.
Heard the same noise overhere in the nederlands. Was playing a shooter with headset on at a high volume and i could still hear the same deafening noise through my machinegunfire. xD
The weather seems to be getting more extreme.............Cheers Pete
Well close strike, but not a super bolt though
Thanks for watching, still very close.......
@@ghostonthelinewhat time was that strike and where abouts don't need to know ur address so I can look up the stats of the strike
Around mid day location Templecombe, Somerset
@@ghostontheline year and date
Wed 17/06/20
its 17th June 2021 hello a year later
Hi There, can its really be a year since that bolt from the blue......Cheers Pete
Not likely positive, either bolt. Just very close and intense negative bolts. Thunder from a positive would have destroyed the recording equipment and produced vibrations equal to a 2.5 earthquake.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your comments, and for watching the video. I had no idea what type of lighting this was. I have had many contributions from around the world from those that have watched the video. All I would say is that it was too close for comfort...Best Regards Pete
Very much a positive bolt as there was a very loud cannon shot then a very long rumble that got very loud very fast with a few more little sonic booms
I just experienced one. It hit a couple miles away and the ground was shaking. And the entire building lol. Extremely powerful. It made the rest of the lightning strikes look like wimps. I'm a storm spotter/chaser, so I know just a little bit about weather lol. I've been a weather nerd for 30 years.
Nice video
Hi Fabrizio, a bit to close for comfort........Cheers Pete
@@ghostontheline Yes, thanks Pete, cheers Fabrizio
That was amazing!! Made me jump!! 🤣
Made me jump as well. There was another strike very close a few days ago.............Cheers Pete
I named my channel after this lightning
Hi, I have watched this video so many times, it still makes me jump. Regards Pete
@@ghostontheline It’s a very interesting type of lightning. I did more research on it and it’s amazing just how rare it is. I think I’ve seen 1 or 2 irl they are very beautiful. Must have hit very close bc that was loud as heck with headphones.
@@Bolt_2A Far to close for comfort.........
Nice
Yes in a scary sort of way. Cheers Pete
The thunder shook my house down
Hi Miranda, not quite I hope! The house that was struck nearby had a large hole punched into its roof.... Cheers Pete
wasn't even that bad come on!!!
I think if you had been there you would have thought differently, especially the house that was left with a huge hole in it’s roof…
