SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IN MIAMI

[sonicgirl209]

If I had been there I would have been saying, "Uuh....... Can we get out of this parking garage now? Cuz I'm so fuckin scared I'm gonna shit my pants!!"

[emavix3]

IN THE PARKING GARAAAAAGE!!! lol. good vid. thumbs up if u know what i'm talking about

[crisss994]

we had a storm like this in melbourne (au) not as much lightning but the winds were like 120km/h and there was very large hail (size of tennis balls in some areas)

[WetPooooopie]

When I was in Florida in the summer we got thunder everyday, never annoyed me

[skunk96]

Boring!!!!!

[AUgrad00]

[Blackoutx4500x]

Damn that's crazy.

[funky998]

[CyrusNixes]

If you think this storm is amazing, check out my other video "violent thunderstorm in Miami Beach." Now that was a storm!

[Jasonartz]

LMFAO! You could practically read a book outside during the peak of it...

haha

[25HNA6]

How warm was it?

[CyrusNixes]

Typical tropical weather - probably in the 70's.

[playdude813]

thats whats up good footage. If u wanna see some lightning dancing, Come up to Tampa. You know we known for being the Lightning capital of the State of FL

[iTouchiPodez]

lol this was a day before my b-day the post date isbday but u filmed it a day earlier :D

[hAhan17]

@CyrusNixes is it because miami is by the beach and beside NA ocean??

[CyrusNixes]

@hAhan17 is what because it's by the ocean? if you mean is that why it's warm in early April, and most days of the year in Miami, then yes.

[wiiluigi1993]

lol last night this happed to nj

[Potions13]

wow thats severe

[futurecelebrity567]

we get these in texas probly once or twice a month. i just had one recently and there were some possible tornadoes. in texas, your closet is your best friend!

[nekor101]

trust me it was real way to real i live in hialeah and i felt taht sht i couldnt sleep

[intricatic]

Got some storms like that already this year. We'll have more fun weather before too long.

[Riptidescool]

Just had a storm come through rochester ny, 40 minutes ago. No where near like your storm though.

[latinagrl2008]

live in the south florida lighting happening now lmao

[hootergirlsrhot]

i wish i was there in that storm

and remember... don't stand under a tree

[neoherectic]

Wheres the thunder!!!! i dnt hear it

[CyrusNixes]

I know it was weird. There was a constant roar of thunder but no loud, distinct ones. Plus the wind was loud.

[FordFan505]

It Was probably Heat Lightning

[dramaking33]

i remember that, there was a tornado by coconut grove

[iLoveBillKaulitz01]

I hate thunderstorms but at least I live where like the most severe it gets is like 40mph winds so if I was there I would be scared...

[moontraveler69]

that storm aint too bad i live in central florida on teh gulf coast and we get storms as bad if not worse than that all the time

[pjhudsonjr]

I live in Thailand and we get crazy lightning like this too, especially in september-- the storms come every couple hours and I've watched lightning hit the same power poles and buildings over and over again-- it's freaky!

[windwmx78]

I've been through a few of those Miami- Dade county storms in the spring and summer. They always come in so dark. You practically have to live inside due to the lightning frequency. The downpours from storms like this are some of the most torrential in the US, if not the world.

windwmx78

[CyrusNixes]

Yes, Florida storms do often come with torrential rain and lots of lightning. I sure hope there are more storms like this this coming spring, although I get the feeling a storm like this happens only once every few years in a specific location in Dade county.

[SevereTstormFan]

Awesome footage man!

[CyrusNixes]

Thanks! It was worth getting soaking wet to film it.

[Strikerking8]

Lol atleast england dont get that

[myss911]

Awesome footage! Great quality! I would love to have storms out here like that! We occasionally will get wind gusts of 50 to 70 mph... but nothing as beautiful as the storms that you get!

[tigress3000]

i wish i was there

[gitane1976]

How come do we see lightning but not thunder after that? We hear it sometimes in the video... is it because of the cloud to cloud??

[CyrusNixes]

There was very little cloud to ground lightning. Most of it was inside the cloud - so only the flash was visible, not the actual bolt. But still I'm not totally sure why there were only a few loud crashes of thunder instead of thousands.

[missnikkixx]

What are you talking about? I think the quality is great. Thanks for posting this.

[sakuraninjagirl]

lol i went therer for spring break but got home like 1-2 days before april 6

[CandleLites]

Florida does tend to et hammered with them weard but awesome

[LineSquall]

Fantastic footage! Wish i could have seen that for real.

[CyrusNixes]

Thanks Line

[matysek123456]

"i hate myself for a few days after i hear my voice on camera" ... you have normal voice, you don't have to shame of it. But i have to, because i am from Czech republic ... i can't speak English and when i record my voice on my camera i sound like a gay xD. But you don't so be cool ! Good luck with hunting !

[CyrusNixes]

mmhmmmmm

[anatomy1993]

I wish i were there!!

[kittyme98]

i eat lightning

[camarajunior79]

I live in this area. It got terrible wind, lightning , and thunder

[alilinzee]

Oh my god I've never seen so much lightning, it was like someone flicking a light on and off!! Luckily I'm in the boring old UK, which doesn't get weather this exciting. You do get very excited don't you?! Ha, it was sweet. Thanks for a great video, take care! x

[CyrusNixes]

thanks!

[Staccato26]

Ah Beautiful! :)

It is dry season here now :(

We'll get our turn for 'zap, crackle n flang' again in October ;-)

Cool vid!

Cheers from Darwin - "Australia's Florida"

[LuvsTstormTapes]

Awesome lightning for so early in the FLA Tstorm season...and in contrast to what you've said...the quality of this video is VERY GOOD! BTW..BTW..I invite you and other viewers to SEE my own 7/28/89- 6/26/02- and 7/18/06-Tstorm videos...as there was lotsa nice frequent lightning in those.... and some real NICE thunder.. I like your own commentaries... and hope you make lotsa great videos during the real-deal Tstorm season... I love such Tstorm videos, big time!!! ((('5*' on THIS one, BTW)))

[zitro1987]

It blew down my fence =(

Really cool footage you got there.

[jonman401]

I remember that it was really bad!!!

[stormef]

I was watching this storm activity on the radar, and thought that maybe some of the storm activity could reach as far as the Florida Keys where Jim Leonard lives. Keep up the good work.

[stormef]

Great video Max. The video shows the intensity of the storm in Dade County, FL. I love continuous lightning. At first glance with the palm trees blowing in the wind and the rain coming down heavy, I mistaking it for a Category 1 Hurricane, but after seeing the date was just April 6, 2008, then I knew it was just a severe storm.

[cyclonejimcom]

Max. Im sure your glad you moved here from the big Island now. The weather pattern has been a little better than average for this time of year during the last few weeks. You wanted to see lightning hopefully this is just the beginning with regular T-Storm season just a month away we will be seeing this stuff more and more in the weeks ahead.

[CyrusNixes]

Did you experience any of this storm down there? Like Nathan says above me, I saw the beginnings of this storm pass over your area on radar.

[cyclonejimcom]

That storm came from off the central coast of Cuba during the afternoon. It went by my place about sunset with lots of lightning and winds of about 35mph. After it passed me it intensified probably got a little more shear from the SE winds from the southeast coast of the mainland which is not unusual. Mike T. in Homestead said when it passed him it was very impressive.

[TyphoonHunter]

Love it! Especially when the storm first starts to roll over with near continuous lightning. We had our first thunderstorm of the year here in Shanghai today but was only a few crappy rumble of thunder, nothing compared to that!!

[CyrusNixes]

I think this was pretty rare for Miami, but I'm not positive since I just moved here. Certainly nothing like this happens in Hawaii!

[vmax135]

AWESOME Max!!!! Last night's storms were great, and this footage captures it perfectly. I was also shooting (still photos) and got one good shot of a bolt over downtown Miami.

[CyrusNixes]

Thanks Mike
