  • @vinnynumbnuts . I lOVE thunderstorms. I was born and raised in Chicago, and there were some real doozies I remember.

  • 0:36 i thought it was a face!!!!!

  • t-storms scare me so much. I live near chicago and we lost power like 5 storms in a row. last time lightning hit the transformer outside our house and the powerlines caught on fire and fell right next to a jeep parked right in front of our house. luckily it didnt blow up. but it took like 20minutes for them to turn the power off for the power lines

  • i used to live in chicago and i still remember the storm a tree fell over at muh uncle's house lucky it didn't hit da house

  • I remember I was at my summer camp in Frankfort, IL. We were starting our dance when we had to go to shelter. It was pretty spooky.

  • OMG! I remember this. It scared my cat lol. xD

  • Wow nice video I really like it. Yep this is definetly a severe thunderstorm. This is probably the first thunderstorm I've ever seen that has this much frequent lightning in the past 6 minutes Lol. Also I enjoy the thunder sounds that came along with it. Very nice video :)

    Also the hair and the rain sounds a little scary to me. The exact same storm happened to me with alot of thunder and lightning and I wish that I got the one lightning bolt that nearly hit my house but Ow well...

    Nice Vid

  • I remember a storm that hit just over a week ago in boston. Holy shit that was big. We also been having alot of tstorms lately because in Boston the summers are VERY stormy

  • woow very nice!!

  • Comment removed

  • dude u know that i was born in august 4 ,1997 so that happen on my birthday :O but i was in poland on vacation so i missed it (the weather give me a birthday gift it gave me a tornado but i was away so i missed my present) :)

  • @killerofporn Chicago didn't get hit by a tornado. And I live in Chicago.

  • i was in the wiscinsin dells during this time. it rained there but not nearly as bad as i heard from this storm. we were at our hotel when we got a call from our neighbor. he said "OMFG we are getting slammed by storms. this is by far the worst storms i have ever seen since i have been living here." then i was thinking omg what if we go home and our house is destroyed. i was creeped out

  • We got hit in Aurora around 6:45 pm.

    the winds were scary and the rain was just pouring down with heavy lightining and thunder.

    August 4th sticks in my mind now.

  • That is and forever will be SEARS tower.

    just like marshall fields will always be marshall fields and never macy's.

  • this is such a popular storm. i remember it. i was hiding in my bedroom hoping a tornado wouldnt hit. what a rush lol

  • @loryr405, yeah I remember that day too. It had been storming a lot earlier, and was very hot. It got sunny in the afternoon, but in the evening is when things really got bad. The tornado siren went off, and I stepped out to the garage, and could not believe what I was seeing. There was literally flashes of lightening every 2 seconds. The clouds looked very scary too. I remember the second round of storms too seen in this video. After that, we didn't have another storm for a month.

  • yea and right when the sky got very dark and gray, i went in my bedroom. lol im just a wimp when it comes to storms

  • I love storms. I hope for good ones. It's already January 24th, and I'm looking froward to when storms will be back. The only time I would be a little scared would be if I was far from home when the sirens went off. Other than that, I would enjoy it umless it was a twister or something. But if I was in the car passing by a siren when it goes off for a tornado warning, that might be cool, despite the loudness. But if i saw something really menacing, I would take cover in the closest place.

  • i would never be able to do that! i consider you very brave cause you can do it without any problems. i would just be in the bathtub with a mattress above my head. lol

  • @loryr405,Yeah, on June 19th of 2009 we had a very bad storm in all of Illinois; I was coming home from vacation. The sirens went off, and I tried to run out and see the closest one, but they stopped before I got there. I was enjoying the storm the whole time, and listening to my weather radio go off. i have a weather radio that sounds sort like a siren when severe weather comes through. It's very cool, looks like a walky talkie. These are good summer memories!

  • oh u mean the one that started out in the morning?

  • @loryr405, yes it happened around 9:30, and I was home a long time before it happened. But we had more in the middle of the night.

  • thank you for calling it sears tower. Chicagoans call it Sears Tower, cocksukin newyorkers call it willis tower

  • very cool video...i remember that clearly!!

  • 2:02 Haha sucks to be the tower. XD

  • 0:28 Tower got owned. lol

  • ...interesting video...lots of wind, rain lightning, and thunder, even hail. Good job!

  • i live in northwest illinois and i remember this storm like it was yesterday. I almost got electricuted, i was so scared and then i was fascinated. We didn't get hail but we got hit pretty hard.

  • Had a couple of these kinds of storms in Denver the last couple weeks...

    Glad the Willis Tower is designed to be struck by lighting.

  • no.. not even close .. i live in Denver now.. and at the time of this storm in Chi i lived there.. HUGE DIFF!

  • I think this same storm hit Springfield the very next day but I can be wrong. Still awesome!

  • Don't you mean "watch the WILLIS Tower get struck by lightning"? That name change is an idiot.

  • it actually changed? when was it official?

  • Well, I don't think it's official yet; not until later in the summer. It doesn't really matter though. No one's going to call it that. It's going to stay the Sear's Tower.

  • yup. i know i will be

  • I've experienced a Severe thunderstorm in England, but not as bad as this. I really hope we dont get another tornado, we had one in london in 06, and another somewhere else this year. Atleast all you americans Know how to handle them, because being with people who know what to do is better than being with people who don't know what to do.

  • Simply breathtaking...

  • I remember when we took a holiday to Australia and as soon as we arrived at the hotel, there was a huge lightning bolt that hit the top of the building.

  • Would the Skydeck still have been open at this time?

  • as you said " watch the sears tower getting hit by the lightening," I saw; it was a pretty bad strike. Were there any casualties inside the building because of that lightening?

  • I think a few tourists at the Sears Tower Skydeck crapped their pants.

  • we had some hail rain and thunder yesterday. we were in my local youth club but it was past closing time and we were all wanting to go home but we didnt want to get ourselves wet lol. so were were just standing at the door watching the thunder.

  • Just awesome!!!!!!!!

  • ohh i remeber that time i went to boston from 8-1-08 to 8-5-08 so i couldn't see it but my dad was home and guess wat my freaken basement got flooded *sigh*

  • thunderstorms are cool but you dont want to get struck

  • I love thunderstorms. Don't forget the lightning...They always make me awed, they get my adrenaline rushing, and they sometimes calm me. I love the sweet taste in the air, the blue flashes of lightning, the sound of thunder, and how you can stare out the window for hours and not get bored. But my favorite part is that sometimes it's pitch black in the middle of the day, and the only natural light is the lightning itself. I sometimes turn out all the lights in the house and watch the flashing sky

  • i agree 100%

  • No sirens. :(

  • when this happened it was 2 days after my birthday and i was outside at my friends house and her brother lock us out it was fun and creepy!!!! i got poked with a stick!!!!!

  • i hear the train

  • very good video my dad lives in cicero, and he said that he saw like grills and like stuff flying around outside. and i think u recorded it on aug.5 or 4th, but my dog's is the 5th

  • Awesome severe thunderstorm. thunderstorms in America heavy-er than in Europe.

  • I think I heard a train somewhere around 2:30 into the film. How can trains be operating during a severe thunderstorm like this?

  • Yup, that's a train blowing its horn. They do that every day, rain or shine.

  • I heard one too. I guess they figure that Chicago gets so many storms that they can handle it.

  • thats 1min 30s into the clip.

  • did anyone spot the ufo at 1:30 darting from middle right of the screen.

  • I don't see it. It could just be raindrops on the window.

  • dude, i was @ my friend's house. then my dad picked my up and wen i got home the sirens went off. i was rlly scared

  • i live in romeoville and the other day it just haild for no reason but we also had massive winds and snow it was really wierd

  • Great video...Thunder at it's nastiest. Well done for not being tempted to be "artistic" and put music to it like some other trumpets do. Thunder is best in it's rawest form.

  • Great video. I grew up on the south side of Chicago but moved away in 68 when I went in the service. I'm in California now and although we are blessed with great weather I sure miss those thunder storms, they're awesome.

  • Nice steady hand, awesome capture - well done! 5/5!

    *StormSpinner1* in Texas

  • Thanks!  I used a tripod.

  • damn, i was in that. o-o i live RIGHT by it. i wont say where, though. ;D rofl. but i still got hit by it. :(

  • So this is round 2.... I got hit by round 1!

  • I got some video from Aurora Illinois if you guys want to check it out.

  • Heh, I remember that. After the first round I tried to get some sleep... Then boom.

  • great vid bro..shit i think that night my basement got flooded..lol

  • Great video.. I wish sometimes that i lived in the US For the storms, Or at least in L'pool, UK, we got some severe Storms. I am fascinated by it all.

  • Cougars321 sut to this person

  • i live in elmhurst and a tornadoe hit us this day

  • i live in dempster st in mount prospect  what part are u in

  • elmhurst

  • OMG I remember this storm! (I live near Chicago)

  • wow, this was nuts

  • i was there wen it happened

  • you guys had a derecho

  • The question begs to be asked... what is a derecho?

  • a derecho is basically a bow echo with very high straight line winds! and can flattern trees and things just like a tornado can!

  • did anyone hear the emergency alert system on q101

  • nice video. really guys you have nothing to do except arguing. go find your self a life both of you . but i still like the words that villy is using but keep them for something more importent

  • I heard three tornados ripped through the metro area!

  • i know what you mean. it was creepy.

  • Wow.. Brutal storm.

  • Yeah really, how the fuck does a video about a thunderstorm turn into some moronic argument. Grow up already please.

  • wow... Zxirius and VinnyV4444, both of you probably dont have a career in anything, you must be at least 10 if your seriously fighting on youtube... its pretty lame...

  • Can somebody tell me why there's a huge argument going on in a video about a thunderstorm? seriously Vinnie and Numbernine you're being so crude...

  • I was pretty bad near my area that day. When I looked out the front door, I heard sirens.

    So I told my mother, at first she thought I was making it up, until she looked out the front door and heard the sirens.

    We went into the basement just in case a Tornado came.

  • Oh man I wanted to hear some tornado sirens blaring. Still a good video though.

  • Friends of mine were at the Cubs game. The game was delayed once already, but when this storm hit, they called the rest of the game off. People that were still at the game had to take shelter because of a nearby tornado warning. It was a pretty powerful storm.

  • Actually, I was sharing information about the storm to the video poster. I don't care what people think of my friends, that wasn't the point. The point was to share how bad the storm got, which caused people to have to take shelter. It was a reply about the video, which is what comments are for. So, what I said was completely relevant dumbass. Why not reply to the comments I intended for you, rather to something that you obviously wouldn't care about.

  • Lack of intelligence seems to be a norm from you. So, really, "assholedom"? This is exactly what I mean about your lack of intelligence you seem to be spreading around here. Making up words doesn't make your smart. In fact, it makes you look like a fucking idiot. Kudos.

  • By the way, my friends are Cubs fans, but what you don't know is that I'm a White Sox fan. Be sure you know what you're talking about before you throw some of your pointless insults at me. I actually agree that Cubs fans ARE losers, so thank you for helping me out there. But, you obviously can't put up a real argument without an insult, which is pretty pathetic.

  • yeah the second part was bad as hell.

  • damn that shit was no joke

  • my videos of that time r better,their waz more intertainment,every 1 who read thiz comment,go 2 my profile n watch my video i made of tornado warning august 4,2008 in chicago IL

  • Sorry dude, I'm not sorting through all 464 of your videos to find it. Post the link (everything AFTER youtube . com)

    By the way Kannibees, you got your answer... apparently other people ARE enjoying me making a complete ass out of you. Not that it's hard to do.

  • ur dumb ass bitch,at least im not a dumb ass thats not afraid 2 leave hiz house just staying on tha computer n shit talkin 2 every 1,at least im making videos n u have notin on ur page u little faggot,oh n its very easy 2 make a complete ass out of u instead of me u shit face,reply bak if u have enough balls 2 do it u fucking pussy

  • I broke down and checked out your videos LiLV456. The next time I want to see a black screen, or an out of focus TV broadcast filmed by a dumbfuck 14 year who can't even hold the camera steady (so it looks like it's filmed by someone having an epileptic seizure), I'll be sure to check out your videos.

    Do us all a favor, save YouTube bandwidth for something worthwhile, and jerkoff to your useless videos with your LOSER gangsta wannabe friends. Got that you lil' fuckin' cunt?

  • Hahaha

    Yeah, i have a shitty camera. Probably better than an eighth of youtubes videos though. And how old are you anyways? I sure hope you don't call your kids dumbfuck and lil fuckin cunts, that just wouldnt be right! And anyways, what makes you say were trying to be gangstas?

    We have the only video of that flood on youtube, we were trying to tell people about it

    And we succeeded

  • omggg i slept in my closet!! lol my cat was all freekin out!

  • I live in the North suburbs,and damn, that thunder kept me, and the dogs up all night. I can't even imagine what it was like in the city, and more south.

  • yesterday a fucking tree freakin broke my fucking window open omg i was scared!!!!!!! omg this was scary like crap i stayed in bathtub lol

  • i live in griifth!! it was sooo scary last night its not even funny!!!

  • I live in Joliet and I thought it was bad there hope everyone will be ok in Griffith

  • i live in highland indiana right by griffith and was hit by 3 strong storms but no toranados in our area except in griffith

  • [Continued.....]

    everyone dinning in donked down underneath the tables and then we ran for the resturant's kitchen. glass was blowing everwhere, papers everwhere just everything flying everywhere. it was so scary. i didnt get any sleep at all last night. Im so happy no one got severely hurt.(as so i was told)This day wil be on my mind for a while.

  • omigosh! its was so scary. my family and i live in hammond but it was my mom and dad's anniversary so we decided to go out for it. so we went to the chinese place by kmart. the front of the resturant had two large glass windows that blew in all around.

  • I live in Griffith, where the most damage was gone.  Talk about a war zone with mass destruction. We had to be evacuated!

  • lol i hear everyone say "warzone" lol griffith is such a small mayberry style town with overactive police dept.. munster had fire dept out instantly .. griffith > ? this town sucks on so many levels lololol

  • Griffith,IN is NOT a Mayberry style town you inbred stoner fucktard. The town has nearly 20,000 residents and there was massive damage there from a confirmed EF2 tornado. It's all over the news, but I'm sure you don't pay attention to news wasteoid. The National Guard is there, and a state of emergency has been declared.

    Here's hoping a tornado hits your trailer house and destroys you stash of weed.

  • rofl!!!!!!! listen to all that hate lol u must be a republican christian. lol. anyhoo, theres only 17,000 residents .. which is slightly smaller than mayberry. & have u talked to griffith police before? lol ... their all like barney fife!!! MAYBERRY!! on that note .. i think im gonna get baked & enjoy more youtube.fucktard. lolol

  • Uhhhh, Earth to stoner dumbfuck... Mayberry is a FICTIONAL town. Since you've fried what little brain cells that didn't drip down your Daddy's leg, I'll explain that to you... it means it doesn't fucking exist. Therefore your comparison is a stupid and irrelevant as you are.

    Stop by Griffith and smoke your joint in front of some of those destroyed homes and the people trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. I'm sure they'd love to hear your Barney Fife jokes, FUCKTARD!

  • lol umm .. i live in griffith lol. dude your dumb as a box of dog shit. wasting time commenting back to your retarded ass when i could be packing another bowl is pointless lol ... im still baked from last time i commented .. whats your excuse? lolol

  • "Dude your dumb as a box of dog shit"

    Really? Who's the one that is comparing the population of a fictional town vs. Griffith, IN... me, or the waste of DNA genetic defect stoner jackoff? That's what I thought.

    Toke another bowl you fuckin' LOSER!

    Behold YouTubers, Kannibees is your poster child for the failure of western civilization in the 21st century.

  • ? ... u think anyone is viewing this shit? lolololololol!!!!!! & why do u think calling me stoner is an insult? u sound angry... life not turned out the way u thought?? smile amigo.. i am =)

  • actually i agree with this kid

    theres nothing wrong with smoking weed at all

    you have more fun

    you learn new shit

    if we both think theres nothing wrong with smoking weed why the fuck would we be offended to you calling us a stoner? Looks like your the dumbshit, dumbshit.

  • Actually nobody cares about you or who you agree with. Got that canuck fuck?

    Shouldn't you be sharpening your skates and finishing your 6 pack of Molson instead of blathering your ignorant opinions here?

    Anyway, me and the Mrs. were looking to dine at a Canadian restaurant, but it seems there just isn't one. Canada is so backasswards you don't even have a cuisine.

    Insert your sad miserable asshole hoser face here --> :-(

  • Wow. I don't know what you have against Canada, but you sure are using a lot of innapropriate and incorrect stereotypes, and I don't like it.

    First of all, of all Canadian activities, why would you say sharpening your skates? Lacrosse is the official Canadian sport, and btw, theres a lot more drunken idiots down where you are then up here.

    And dont you have better things to do then arguing over youtube with 15 year olds?  Dude you must be one nerdy american.

  • "and I don't like it."

    Gee, that's a shame. I won't sleep all night knowing that.

    Anyway, hockey is your national pasttime, and another of your self-righteous lessons isn't going to change what is common knowledge throughout the entire fucking world.

    Get a clue beyond drugs and alcohol and then get back to me dumbfuck canuck.

  • Well actually, you're wrong.

    Look it up buddy, Lacrosse is Canadas native and national sport.

  • Wikipedia results, FIRST SENTENCE:

    "A wide variety of sports are practiced in Canada. Ice hockey, referred to as simply hockey in the country, is Canada's official winter sport,[1] its most popular spectator sport, and its most successful sport in international competition."

    SENTENCE 2:

    "Lacrosse, a sport with Aboriginal origins, is Canada's oldest sport and official summer sport."

    Oooops!

    Insert your huliated dumbfuck canuck hoser face here --> :-(
