In the mountains, when the storm clouds hit the side of the mountain where I live they shoot lightning out into the desert 10 miles away where I used to live!!! It sounds so horrible when it happens because of it echoing off of the mountain side. Deafeningly loud and very dangerous.
I've heard thunder like this. It's not something to mess with. I was almost killed by a postive bolt last year. I found out in the video I took that the actual bolt was 7 to 8 feet away from me. D:
Hearing it again, am convinced the second is positive also. I think the closeness of it made it a bit harder to differentiate, but if you listen carefully to the thunder as it rolls off into the distance, it has the characteristic gun-shot like sound to it - cool vid!!
The first one was a positive lightning strike. The second one sounded more like a negitive strike close by. Like sicilian12345 said, positive and negitive lightning thunders sound completely different. Nice vid too, by the way!
Clear indication's of a Positive Strike include extremely loud deafening thunder, extreme pounding/rippling thunder and very bright lightning. This is all do to the Ultra high amperes in the strike itself super heating the sir surrounding it to much higher degree then a negative strike. A typical negative strike has about 30,000 amperes as to a positive strike which can have up to 240,000 amperes.
Thunder from positive strikes has been known to pop nails from wood and crack windows in homes.
yes, the thunder sounded much like positive lightning was the cause. A good indication of positive lightning believe it or not occurs when close strikes are occurring with no rainfall believe it or not.

The first one was definitively a positive strike.
The following second strike was a simple close negative strike about 50m away.
The second one sounds great... nice crackling.
