Great footage. Violent positive strikes, look at the shape of them!! Straight line fire (ignoring the interesting S shape). Incredible constant upper Anvil lightning too.
Wow, this is an epic storm(s). Positive and negative lightning, constant thunder. One usually sees these kind of powerful supercells from a distance, but you were right under it. Outstanding video. 4 stars (if you can see them through all the lightning). 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Positive CG barrages like this are so neat to watch. They almost always signify a strengthening updraft. If I'm not mistaken, August 10th 2020 was the same day as the major Derecho that wrecked the Midwest and especially the east side of Iowa. I remember looking at the CAPE (Its basically a measure of how unstable the atmosphere is) and wind shear values that morning and seeing that it was going to be supportive of severe weather so it makes sense you got to see something like that. Great capture.
yes, the derecho that wrecked all of central Iowa occurred last that day. check out my video of my drive through Cedar Rapids, IA 4 weeks after the derecho roared through - it was still a mess down there. Incredible tree damage.
We very rarely get storms as bad as that in the UK but we did get a similar one to this with almost continuous lightning and thunder back in the early 90s though a long long time ago, but that one was tame though compared to this storm, I've certainly never experienced a thunderstorm as bad as the one on this video but what a great storm and thank you for the slo mo bits as well its fascinating to see how fork lightning goes to the ground from the cloud but it is such a quick process only way we can truly see what is happening is by slowing it down, thank you for sharing this video.
this is by fare the best thunderstorm video I have ever seen. I wish you recorded the whole thing. But this is awesome. Other videos don't get me this excited but this video has. Keep up the great work and maybe you can record a little longer🤔
I've never experienced a Midwest Thunderstorm, I've experienced bad storms in the South and in Upstate NY but never in the Heartland...looks like they're a different animal altogether! Wow! Here in AZ we get storms but rarely are they *this* intense, very impressive!
This storm was awesome. I’m in Chan and got hit by 2 severe storms and over 4 inches of rain. The first storm had funnel clouds in Shokope with hail up to 2 inches in some areas. I personally did not see stones that where golf ball but it was dark and there were some large thumps on our roof as it was falling. Confirmed a little bigger quarter size though. The other severe storm brought severe winds near 60 MPH. This was measured at 59 in Eden Praire. The lightning got so bright it stunned me for like a second or two.
Great footage from you as usual! You definitely had a clear shot of the sky. In Minneapolis at mom's place this morning. Caught a lucky break, was able to capture outside for a short while. Did you happen to notice as the clouds rolled in, they would become unorganized, drift high into the atmosphere, become massive in size as they attached themselves to other clouds. Wth? 😳 Going to upload a video as well within the hour.
the clouds were strange. Even more strange was I was between storm cells. Didn't get a lot of rain - I must have missed the other storm that rolled in later - but I had to get to sleep since I have to wake up at 4am for work.
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 I remember this storm, but here in St. Paul, we didn't get it quite as intensely - if I remember correctly. This lightening was intense enough to start something on fire! I lived in FL, the lightening capital of the world (so they say) for 2 years around 20 years ago, and NEVER did I see lightening as intense as this!
@@richeyrich I lived in Highland county, Central FL. I never saw a water spout, but I'll tell you this: On my way home from Florida Hospital, Wachula, where I worked as a social worker, in June 2003, I drove home in a near tornado that hadn't been warned because there were no sirens. Lightening was flashing, shooting and rolling everywhere, the sky was teal-green, the mammatus clouds were outlined in black, and the gusts of wind kept lifting the back tires of the agency van I was driving off the ground. Scarier than anything was the funnel cloud hovering over the farmland a few mere miles away. The cattle had their backs to it, standing there like statues. I'll never get over that!! NEVER!! Fortunately, the funnel never touched down, and by the time I got to Sebring it had dissipated. But that was a hairy experience, and that's why I'm a diehard advocate for having tornado sirens. Sometimes a cell phone signal can be interrupted in rough weather and not everyone, including myself, have weather radios. It was shear luck that tornado I drove in dissipated; if there'd been a siren, I would've known to wait before driving home!!
I know severe weather is the norm in the Midwest, but are storms like this typical of the twin cities area? I sometimes wonder if minneapolis being farther north moderates the atmosphere any?
We typically get these types of storms when there is a large and persistent amount of high heat in the summer just to our south and west. Energy from the northern rockies sweeps down and develops these types of storms. The Derecho of 2020 was formed by the same elements that produced these heavy storms in Minneapolis.
Living in the UK we don’t get storms like this. Our storms are tame but they still make me hide under my quilt lol. This on the other hand would have me completely and utterly sobbing with fear!! I’d be wanting my mom as the quilt wouldn’t cut it! I’m just a wuss really🤣🤣🤣🤣
I once travelled by train at night and we were surrounded by constant lightnings from all sides. That was terrifying and I was expecting it would hit the train any second. But everything was fine in the end.
That always happen when heat wind and cold wind are combining on the sky! But if the cold wind and hot wind is on the sea, it will cause a storm and tornado! That also happens to my place, I am watching the rain but I can feel the wind with cold air and hot air and after 1 hour I saw a long lightning and I heard a loud thunder! The color of the lightning is orange because the heat is flying around the cold place! But if you are in a cold place, the thunder is violet or green.
Lightning invigorates the human spirit . Without lightning in our nature phenomena , I would feel that our nature world is like the taste of stale beer
My guess this blew out many electronic devices that were connected to breaker boxes not grounded properly with a solid earth ground with very large gauge wire.
The storm I recorded was 9 or so hours before the derecho started. I don't believe either was associated with the other, but the severe weather setup in the midwest certainly created the ingredients for both storms.
WHAT kind of insane storm would they call this?? never seen constant flashes like this!! it was almost like a fake movie lightning like in Frankenstein!! this was shot in real time, right?
When all the right weather ingredients come together, such lightning storms are a common element. About 12 hours later a massive derecho came through the midwest and did destructive damage in six states.
Don't get me wrong, I love thunderstorms and I like to see lightning but this would be too much even for me. How was anyone able to sleep through this? I live in Philadelphia and I have never seen a thunderstorm like that before. All I can say is that it must have been very hot and humid in Minneapolis that day. I am so glad that wasn't there at that time. I wouldn't gotten any sleep whatsoever. However, I would probably be watching the storm through my bedroom window. Probably every single window in the area was shaking with all that thunder.
the same day and later on, a major derecho developed in Iowa and swept through the entire state with winds up to 100 mph. the conditions were just right for the storm I recorded and the horrindous wind storm that devastated Iowa.
we have this kind of storm at least once every few years. I have two other videos that have almost the same amount of lightning flashes, but this video is the best of non-stop lightning that I have.

fantastic thunderstorm lightning tornado wind storms
This storm was crazy, the lightning was so loud and it struck the tree in my front yard. That was one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard
This is awesome!
Wow, that was AMAZING! You don't see continuous lightning like that very often. GREAT video!!!
Thank you very much!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a storm with such nonstop flashes of lightning like that before.
A thunderstorms and generates over a million volts and bolts pure minutes
we used to get storms like this all the time, don’t even know what happened😮
You are in the middle of two thunderstorms, I would be in the toilet changing my underwear, what a night - like armageddon
Common with tornadoes, but you can get some pretty intense lightning in regular storms too.
I see that frequently during the thunderstorm season in my country
Awesome smooth-channel positive CG hits, possibly coming all the way from the anvil overhang in front of the incoming storm. Beautiful !
Great footage. Violent positive strikes, look at the shape of them!! Straight line fire (ignoring the interesting S shape). Incredible constant upper Anvil lightning too.
the lightning was definitely making itself known...
Epic lightning, I film storms as hobby, can’t wait tell spring/ summer gets here 😎😎😎😎
That is the most perpetual and intense lightning I have ever seen on any video. Incredible. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks for the video - I love storms and appreciate filming of them!!!!
Simply beautiful 💓 storm!
Yes it was!
WOW what a storm! The lightening was something and thunder deafening! Oh what a night for you! I am sure you were loving it! 😁
I was
Wow, this is an epic storm(s). Positive and negative lightning, constant thunder. One usually sees these kind of powerful supercells from a distance, but you were right under it. Outstanding video.
4 stars (if you can see them through all the lightning). 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great Job capturing these beautiful storms. I really enjoyed watching! Thank you! :)
Thank you very much!
Spectacular
You don't need street lights if you have this kind of storm. Man!!!
I'd hate to be waiting on a bus stop during that!
Good lightning footage. Outstanding captures
🤩😍🥰😇
That’s why I like AC/DC’s Thunderstruck!!!!
Ooooooh, THUNDA!!!!!!!!

I wondered if you were watching this storm! Great footage.

Yup that's definitely our Thunderstorms, where it sets off car alarms and rattle our windows like crazy. Awesome video!
Thanks for watching!

Wow, really fascinating and also a bit scary !!!
great piece of video, miss those storms, moved from Minnesota in 2005 nothing like that here in California
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice smooth positive lightning.
Thank you 🙌
Yeah
Extreme lightning and rolling thunder
All those bolts were positive, hence the thunder sounds.
Oh for sure definetly!!
Great footage from you as usual! You definitely had a clear shot of the sky.
In Minneapolis at mom's place this morning. Caught a lucky break, was able to capture outside for a short while.

In india yesterday same thunderstorm occured it was lightning again and again...one thunderstorm made very loud noise that made everbody scared
My 6 year old would literally be in on her high horse. She loves storms and we never get no good ones where we live in the UK.
Yea. America is the place to be for storms man.
@@JDintheDMV Pretty impressive in Canada. It is important to recognize where to go and what the storm is doing.

I hear that the most intense lightning is around the Tallahassee area and around that part of Florida. I would love to witness a waterspout there!!!

@@PJBovio it would have been a harrowing experience to say the least. i love adrenaline rushes, tho'.
Great positive CG lightning. Fantastic cases only a short distance away.
Yes they are!
That lightning sounds like machine guns going off
Positive lightning at all its best ❤️❤️⚡
OMG I’m going to Paris I’m so excited in summer let’s go!!!!!
Incredible +CGs
thanks.
Incredible!
it was, thx
loudest lightning strikes are at: 1:03 1:32 1:45 1:59 2:19
thanks for those times. I appreciate that.
Wow!What a storm!
it was!
This is God's version of disco night! 😂❤
That's the day my mother passed away.
Think if we ever one day would be able to harness the power of a lightning bolt. We could forget about using coal, gas or any other polluting energy.
Greets from Poland
HELLO!!!
This video is waaaaaay too short but I love it !!!!
I will make a longer one for you next time!!! ; )

This video deserves more views..👍
Please share it. Thanks!!!
I went through a storm like this where I live in New York back in 2016. But, this storm was way more intense. 💀
storms like this one are actually common here in the upper midwest and the ones I have put on video happen in the late summer/early fall.
@@richeyrich
The most intense storms I’ve been through where I live in New York have always come down from Québéc moving due south-southeast.
Nothing but positive strikes, that storm is shooting to kill
Le ciel nous tombe sur la tête!
Looks and sounds like the C-Gs were positive lightning. From the date, it looks like this was associated with the Iowa derecho?
The storm I recorded was 9 or so hours before the derecho started. I don't believe either was associated with the other, but the severe weather setup in the midwest certainly created the ingredients for both storms.
Correct Hermanus... All these CG's were positive. The biggest tell is the one stroke and subsequent bead out of the bolt...
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Vers nice video 😍
thx, i appreciate that!!
That was the same day that occurred the derecho storm in Iowa and Illinois
you are absolutely correct. I knew that too! see what it looked like 4 weeks after the storm hit in Cedar Rapids: see link.
ruclips.net/video/6VqeBjSf5VM/видео.html
Wow Awesome
Thanks 🤗
Loving those positive bolts.
it was an amazing storm.
nice light show
People are sure tight with their thumbs up!! 🤔
Used to get these in UK esp early 90s during summer, but no longer ..probably climate change. Great terrifying video lol 😆 🌩⚡⛈
Glad you enjoyed

1:58 Positive cg! Also crazy that it is non-stop.
we have this kind of storm at least once every few years. I have two other videos that have almost the same amount of lightning flashes, but this video is the best of non-stop lightning that I have.
I love when these types of thunderstorms happen. Especially with all the +cg lightning.
Those strikes looked to be positive considering the relative straightness to them.
did that S lightning bolt look cool?? Really weird looking.
أنها عضمه الله سبحانه وتعالى ❤
1:58 so close
When I visited Minneapolis there was a crazy storm similar to this. Thanks for sharing! Feel free to check out my travel videos if your interested!
thanks for watching. I will definitely check out your channel.
