Positiver Blitzeinschlag bei Gewitter vom 04.06.21 - in Kleve

Beim durchstöbern meiner Videos, habe ich diesen schönen Blitzeinschlag eingefangen. Mir wurde bestätigt, dass es sich hierbei wohl um einen positiven Blitzeinschlag handelt. Der darauffolgende Donner ist leider eher zurückhaltend.

I thought the thunder would have been loud but it sounds as if it’s not for some reason

i think the distance between the flash and the thunder was too long. i also have no idea why the thunder was rather quieter with the flash.

@@michisweathervoice Positive lightingstrikes tend to be very loud and very distinctive, even at 10 kilometers distance (at least, that's my experience in The Netherlands). Could very well be this just wasn't such a powerfull one.
When it comes to the brightness I wouldn't classify this one as a positive, but video (and especially video from CMOS sensors as this video) can be deceiving. Positive lightning strikes usually are very bright, which makes them so scary (especially at night). Usually, positive strikes tend to be single, very brief but very bright discharges, that are not followed or preceded by cloud-to-cloud discharges or other negative (normal) discharges, but there are many examples on youtube that tell otherwise ;)
