  • 32 people have to suck cartmans balls

  • DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY!

  • NATURE RULES!

  • more footage of lightning strikes, less footage of dude driving around in his car, please.

  • I used 2 be interested in thunderstorms and tornados.But know i am way more interested in volcanoes knowing i live on top of a active volcano.I grew up Meteorologists>>>>>>>volcanolo­gist.

  • 3:30 he says get off bikes, wouldnt you be safe on a bike though because it has rubber tires?

  • @DallasStars248 It would hit you - as you are the highest point in the air - even though it wouldnt neccesary hit the ground - it would still damage you quite bad :P =D

  • @DallasStars248 That doesn't count for bikes. The lightning has been traveling for miles and miles through the air which is much more resistant than a few inches of rubber. You would pretty much be dead :)

  • When I take a shit, I not only sound like a super saiyan, screaming my lungs out, but all this thunder for some reason shows up.

  • Im terrified of lightning, its cool like but dont like it!

  • EVeryone who gets an AD do the extact oppositte of what they want!

  • @yoshibug100 me too....a month later from your comment...same lighting here too

  • I give a thums up because I love thunderstorms.

  • this is dumb, why not in HD... arent you supposed to be big and important NG...?

  • Thumbs up if you tried to pause it while the lightning struck

  • i love the smell before and after it rains

  • KIRIN!!!!! DISAPPEAR WITH THE ROAR OF THUNDER

  • Ease up on the Southern boys will ya! When Lightning strikes the hogs are fed, the posts are mended, and dinner is on the table. A true LIGHTNING strike is when I get some real head.

  • Boy, this video really helps me create realistic thunder in After Effects. Thanks National Geographic!

  • is it me or is it William Shackner doing the voice over?

  • Rubber bitch.

  • That aint Lightning. That kind of Lightning is unpredictable and un focused. My F-150 Lightning is a simple stomp on the gas pedal. Crooks want one and cops fear one. The SVT F-150 Lightning strikes on command. And it hauls shit too!

  • AWESOME! I've almost been struck by lightning! I swear I heard the loud BOOM right before I saw the flash just across the street, and it hit a palm tree, knocking of a few branches! Amazingly, the tree survived, until these new people moved in and cut it down. I could feel the shock! What's even more amazing is lightning on other planets, like Jupiter, and the other gas giants, because their lightning discharges can reach 1000+ times more power than Earth's! I LOVE SCIENCE!

  • Incredible

  • lucky that it doesnt happens in los angeles

  • @ABCba5tard too bad it doesnt

  • b(^_^)d

  • 1:19 sparta face, lol

  • ONE LIGHTNING STRIKE WOULD OWN ALL OF HIS EQUIPMENTS NOT TO MENTION HIM AND HIS CREW..

  • who finances that :>

  • goooooooood

  • 0:01 the best click you will ever make :)

  • @KeepSmiling09 It doesn't work.

  • @zzzIdividedbyzerozzz what doesnt work?

  • @zzzIdividedbyzerozzz Thats because your value has been divided by zero

  • We are all small comared to this.

  • At least hurricanes and tornadoes give you some warning when they're on their way, when lightning heads in your direction, you're pretty much fucked

  • whoa...im lucky my country didn ever get that kind of storm...

    but then again...being in the dark cloud kinda calm and soothes me....

  • @luxollidd

    Lol, reminds me of my country too XD

    Wished it would happen more oten here in Belgium though

  • Thumbs up who loves thunderstorms !..!(-.-)!..!

  • @ukko83 i dot but i panic with tornados :P

  • 1:50

    Is it nighttime or what?!

  • Dude that white Dodge is my dad's car lol.

  • back in 2003-2004 or sumthing, our house got striked and inside everything turned purple, spiders, ghosts nothing is as creepy as that! luckely the only thing that got broken was our coffee maker xD

  • This makes me want to play FFX, Thunder Plains ftw.

  • what is the T+  ms? and 1:13 so buetiful!!!

  • what is the T+ ms?

  • can lighting strike your house???

  • @sophie8739 it's really rare the chances are very small. if it hits your house 90% of the houses are struck by lightning they will start a fire

  • @bfjoro Unless, of course, you have a lightning conductor fastened to your house. With it being the tallest point and leading to to the ground, the lightning will follow it instead of your house. A tall tree works, too, though not quite as good.

  • Lightning makes me feel nostalgic. I love it!

  • at least where i live, there has nvr been any lightning for as long as i could remember

  • Damn yesterday a little lighting storm went by and we could hear the thunder getting closer and closer my whole family was happy to hear it. Then while me and my bros were playing PS3 it went BOOM and we saw a flash of light out the window and the ground shake and all our power went out ><

    I walked outside and look and the Power cable thingy was struck and wires were dangling.

    Scary yet cool, so that day I went out and bought Uno and Pictionary and played with the family.

  • i got struck befor i was walking along the road all of the sudden i saw a flash it hit a pole thenhit the metal grate i was standing on and 2exfb it was in ca

  • Thank god i live in california

  • @exfb64 I too am in California Cali is not safe from lightning strikes...

  • people are abusing electricity

    Zues: YOU WANT MORE ELECTRICITY!!! THEN EAT THISSSS!!! [Lightning]

  • twister forming in background at 0:35

  • 1:47

    I would really do anything for that. at the time to see in real life. I live in Germany and this happens, never something like this,

    maybe a storm front, but never a super cell.

    Man I love thunderstorms

  • you call it mother nature. i call it GOD

  • #LOL

  • 1:12 is awsome

  • It's raining as I type this, I don't know why but I get this good feeling when it rains especially when theres lightning and I can hear the thunder roaaar. Or maybe I'm just weird.

  • @STAINILIIEY na i get the same feeling too ma nigga lol

  • It's a shame I'm so afraid of thunder. I agree thunderstorms are fascinating, but the thunder...! I hate loud noises. I have to crawl under the couch during the fourth of july.

  • in a storm the safest place to be is in a car.

  • When Lightning strikes, Thunder kills!

    

  • When Lightning strike, Thunder kills!

  • lightning stikes twice!!!

  • not ;cool

  • That poor Officer!!!My gosh!!Car should be safe!?

  • see my channel of youtube

    come on, there is a amazing video of lightning

  • THAT VIDEO IS A LIE HARD 2 BELIEVE BUT LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE GROUND 2 THE CLOUDS

  • @itsmasterhand No lightning comes from the clouds. But things on the ground send up streamer type things with some electical stuff to do sumthin wired. I learned it in science class =)

  • @itsmasterhand lightining comes from both places. It can strike from clouds and it can sometimes start from the ground up

  • i hit by a lightning strike last month and lucky im still alive because i, strong!:)

  • The only bad thing about power of nature is, that we are happy about it till it hits us...

  • Comment removed

  • It is these kind of people who build the Prisen for them selfs and us by learning these things and then selling it to the Evil ones!!? Or from start they are payed to

    do this. I am shore they think wow boy am i Lucky. Get paid for something that i love

    but then...........!?

  • @Redcaster916 ..well glad you're still alive

  • Lightning is something people don't know much about in the south, but they should find out just how deadly it is!!! But it is also eerily beautiful as well

  • Lightning is something people don't know much about in the south, but they should find out just how deadly it is!!! But it is also eerily beautiful as well

  • The cop should had payed attention, the driver license name said Rayden!

  • THUNDAGA

  • @oxnerd lol yeah from kingdom hearts!

  • beware of shows like this they always exaggerate! a single example was when he said "the camera can shoot 10,000 frames per second, 400 times more than a hollywood camera"... he's suggesting a hollywood camera shoots at 25fps.. thats exactly the same as an ordinary camera!

    why say "ordinary camera" when you can say "hollywood camera" .. because it makes you think its better than it is!

    beware!

  • "Specially designed vehicles" normal vehicles with instruments welded to the roof XD

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • lol the reason why theres more people being struck by lightning is because in america, people are everywhere, so theres more of a chance rofl

  • and the fact that americans are so large doesnt help either lol ... also i hurd you only have a 2%chance of dieing from getting hit by lightning because it needs to hit your heart or something and then your screwed

  • are you stupid or something?

  • no not really i got those facts from discovery channel so no i am not...bitch

  • you don't need to be hit in the heart genius, anything in the above the legs will fuck up your shit

    and the odds are 1 in 20000, not 1 in 50

  • how do you know this?

    and i dont really care to be honest it freaking lightning

    bitch haha in your face! lol :P

  • first off

  • oh wow this reminded me of a time when I was at skool and lightning actually struck the grass! the sad thing is that the grass began 2 burn... 0_o but mother nature always strikin when it feels like it!

  • How about zen and lightening. The path of lightening will seek the one of the least resistance, if something is in the way it will blow it skyhigh no pun intended.

  • camera can atrracks lightning

  • hahaha, it was the cop that got to ride the lightning this time.
