@hjberg71 It is not EMP of the lightning, it's just the bright light that draws an image even when the electronic shutter is "closed", while reading the frame. The ghost is in the wrong place because it gets through the sensor when it shouldn't.
i dont understand why people always wonder if something is fake, with almost all videos you can tell wheather or not its fake. take this video for example, if you have ever seen a thunderstorm, you can tell that it is 100% real
you came so close to a near hit its not funny. u had a potential bolt forming. reason : basketball hoop. lightning seeks out the easiest path of resistance not the longest object. tj scott NWS STORM SPOTTER
I was about to comment that the strike up close was a streamer, and not the actually lightning. It's still a really good shot.
Almost every video I have seen on youtube of "lightning" up close is actually of positive streamers. This is still a rare and cool thing to capture on camera, but you would be fine if one shot out of the top of your head, as long as it didn't connect to the negative charge from the clouds.
actualy, a garage or basement may not be a very good place to be if it has a cement/concrete floor with metal rebar in it. However, during a tornado, the basement is one of the safest places to be. The risk of some lightning current traveling through the concrete floor is there, but not very high.
this is whats known as a "positive streamer". had this connected the outcome may have been different! a P.S. determines a cloud to ground strike. type it in yahoo wikipedia for a proper defination. it also has a picture of a C-T-G strike. you will see the P.S. on the telegraph pole.
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
Very nice video. Let me clear something. It is not lens reflection, but rather problem with camera sensor reading, buffering and transporting signal to the tape or other storage or output. I send video response, where is evident that in many cases, short duration light pulses fall exactly between two frames, causing ghost effects. It depend on time scale, thus position on the screen. Vertical reading is mostly affected. Judging by sound delay, there is no close streamers or strikes.
50 meters could injure or even kill you? that is quite doubtful because lightning channels downwards into the ground it does not spread out over a distance.... but
Inside your garage isn't a safe place at all actually. Concrete flooring contains re-bar and wire mesh... both good conductors of electricity. A strike within 50 meters could injure or even kill you.
Woweee...nice colorful closeby CG bolt and coolsomed thunderclap... how I wish here in RI I got such live Tstorm videos like you HAVE..my last good Tstorm here was 8/13/07...but with nice rainbow and mamma....
The strike is real. The strike near the garage is a reflection within the cameras lens.

Ghosting effect caused by the EMP of the lightning. Happens to just about every video camera that catches a close strike. Still a good shot.

@ CLAstuff: Yep... though it could be a frame-rate issue to. Definitely not a streamer...

Yeah, I think you're closer to the truth with the frame-rate issue, that makes more sense why it floated down.

just a camera lense reflection, you see it in hundreds of videos. Nothing to get excited about.

Not a ghost leader, not a real leader. It's a ghosting effect, where the bolt reflects upside-down on the camera lens.
