    Now that's how you catch an approaching storm. Just slap the camera on a tripod and let the storm come to you without all the wagging around of the camera that so many folk's do. Excellent job.

    Really nice video. I like how it's kind of split in two, the lower half showing our presence on this planet and the upper half showing natures presence. As the city gradually disappears in the rain the greater presence is shown. That might sound weird, but that's how it looked through my eyes. Nature is awesome, thank you Dr.

    I saw a severe thunderstorm one time so intense it turned the clouds purple and pink. Unbelievable lightning. However that wasn't the worst. Summer 1995 Chandler, AZ the sky turned black as pitch. Later that night we had tornado warnings

    I remember a storm years ago when I was a child in the early morning where you could literally feel the electricity. The sky was a sulphur yellow and there was a faint smell of ozone. Haven't witnessed anything like that since. Just love watching storms, always fascinates me.

      @RJARRRPCGP 2 года назад +1

      That description, sounds like common post-May T-storms that are super strong! The post-May T-storms while usually no hail, tend to have more strong lightning bolts than what I often see before June. We tend to get very loud ones in June, July and August. August is too well known for super loud ones! 🤣

    I was once videotaping a thunderstorm right above my house, but I was inside my house, and it ruined my phone. Any video I took after that just sounded like static. But I love storms and I love this video seeing it approaching the camcorder and all. Super cool, thanks for uploading.(:

  • @thegreatslothlord7796
    @thegreatslothlord7796 8 лет назад +1

    That was a really good storm even though it was only a little one (I usually call big ones, ones that last more then an hour). Reminds me of the first storms of the wet season here in Australia where right before the monsoon we would get these huge storms roll in as well as tons upon tons of insanity driving humidity.

    May 29, 2012, widespread hail in Vermont. I was wondering if it was just a T-storm like usual, when at Woodbury in Springfield, Vermont, when I saw a lightning bolt and heard thunder, but after the guy I was with, in the late-1990s GM 2500 with the 350 V8 went towards the mini plaza and got next to the old McDonald's, (it was torn down in 2013 and replaced with an entirely new McDonald's) it was hailing! But it was small hail.
    OK, 6 minutes into this video, sounds like June 5, 2010 in New England, which had no hail, TMK, but the lightning bolts were nothing to underestimate!
    That day was known for repeated lightning bolts, especially what RUclipsr, "LuvsTstormTapes" got in far-south New England! I got similar in Springfield, Vermont and got the borrowed Canon PowerShot A530 out, which was from 2007. It only does SD, but the quality is stunning!

    Greetings from Spain!
    Sorry for my bad English.
    I am fond of meteorology for 22 years now. A couple of questions:
    - What values you measure dewpoint when there are thunderstorm?
    -And what CAPE value?

  • @amberstevens6060
    @amberstevens6060 8 лет назад +2

    I live in Wisconsin and we get around 20-25 tornadoes a year and some pretty wicked storms. Last year around 5am I believe it was in July I was woken up cause it was so bright out, the sky was yellow and it was so still outside there was a huge storm moving in it was such an awesome thing to see! Another time when I was little I remember being outside and it was windy out and hot an humid then the wind stopped and the sky turned pea green.

  • @MagicCarpetMedia
    @MagicCarpetMedia 12 лет назад +1

    June 27th and 28th were crazy for storms. I seen a severe storm that flooded Belfast and a strong gust front-type thunderstorm with a lot of CG's, although I was in Ireland and didn't get as much activity. Although few in England near Blackpool and one at sea from Scotland on the 4th and 5th of July where the biggest I have seen all year.

    Normally we do, although the ones on the 28th June were big! I had one at 3:30am with lightning every 3 seconds, and later in the day other parts of the country had lightning more than every second in the strongest storm, and a a couple tornadoes and hail upto 9cm!

    In June 2011 here in Boston we had some crazy severe t storms with lightning and thunder galore and where I was working about 10 miles outside of Boston in a suburb called Norwood they would get some intense severe t storms cause the town is in a valley. And I almost got caught in a few of those severe t storms when walking to the bus stop a mile from job on the main st but I escaped the lightning and monsoon type of rain but man those t storms were wild that month back in 2011 in Boston and norwood.

  • @clothilde1623

    Wow. I'd love to witness a storm like that! One day...
    I'm surprised by how many people there are still driving around in their cars, surely you'd avoid the roads?!
    Does Minnesota get a lot of storms like that? It's not a state I'd usually associate with crazy weather, but then my knowledge of states is a bit ropey at the best of times.

    • @DrMellonripe
      @DrMellonripe  9 лет назад

      +Lydia Coutts We've had an exceptionally nice summer and fall. I'm not much of a winter person and unfortunately that season is too long for me. We do have tornados up this far, so when BIG weather moves in, it's best to head for shelter.

    • @clothilde1623
      @clothilde1623 9 лет назад +1

      Monty Mellonripe Interesting, I didn't realise there were tornados that far north. I'm in Scotland and we don't get any dramatic weather, having the standard British temperate climate. A little excitement would be nice once in a while! That said, I realise the terrible devastation that extreme weather can wreak, so in that respect we are very lucky.
