y'all wanna see some serious lightning go visit ontario... i was there, and i was sleeping outside in a hammock , woke up to what i thought was the end of the world... but it was awesome
On that Very day My husband and I got married and we just finished out formal wedding photos in the park just as the thunder storm was coming in. It his with a vengeance during our reception and the power was knocked out.... no one stayed around and I was really upset.... we are thinking of renewing our vows in 5 years and doing a reception do over :)
its a little funny to see how vancouverites react to small weather. I never realized before I came here that this region rarely has thunder storms. If any of you were to witness a normal lightening storm in Southern Ont.,,you most likely would think it was the end of the world...lol. They have hundreds of violent storms per year, and actually have a "tornado alley" region.
@Esponjin nope, thunderstorms are quite rare occurances. statistics say that on average here in vancouver we see thunder and lightning 1 to 2 times a year! july of 2009 was an exception, of course. it was pretty spectacular actually, the entire night sky literally turned red-orange.
@Esponjin if you want T-storms dont go to Vancouver. We only get super storms like that once every 9-10 years. other than that we get 5-10 storms that last only 10 mins and have 1-5 lightning strikes. not worth it :( you see more storms if you live east of Maple Ridge.
Pretty cool! You guys don't get them very often out there so it must almost be a festive event!!! Great video! I love filming storms, it's borderline reckless for sure...but then again that's what makes it fun.
im from nanaimo, but i moved to north van. i can only imagine how great the bathtub races and firesworks were with the lightning storm in the backround.

I'm from Vancouver. I should've stayed there to see it. But I live in Toronto, it was worse here.

Excellent shots of the lightning, even risking getting struck by the lightning through your camera.

I was in fleetwood, surrey when this happened. It was amazing.
Me and a bunch of friends went outside and ran around.
The rain drops were just a little smaller then golf balls. It was crazy!!
As soon as I stepped out from under my umbrella, i was SOAKED!
The lightening was fantastic and I could feel the thunder inside of my stomach.
GREAT!! ^^
