Severe Thunderstorm in Scottsdale Aug. 24th 2010.

Oh man that was an awesome strike! Imagine if those two bikers were riding by then! But my tires are rubber... er, no, major fail.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Thanks! Ya lol rubber tires on a bike won't save you from a lightning strike.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Thank you!

[Thunder081]

lucky to see that thunderstorm!

[some805DDRinguy]

Nice shot of the lightening, quite your fortune that day!

Thank you for mentioning the music.

This is normal in Holland, you should see the bike riders here and WHEN a worse thunderstorm rolls through.. they are always on the bikes.. just too rare for a biker to get hit. :D BNICE FOOTAGE!!

[anonymousstormchaser]

haha it surprises me that any one wants to be riding a bike in a storm.

[drummerkidmashy]

"Guy and his kid riding in a t storm.... NOT SMART!"

I get that often in Whittier. I will have like a 15-20 VIL and no hail falls but I get monster raindrops.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Yeah the rain was really cold and it hurt like it was melted pieces of ice.

[Cassiefur]

you were definitely in the right place at the right time for that bolt at the end of the video!

well done!

[rogerwilco94539]

Awesome video, stay safe out there, the sound of that thunder clap at the end of the video was awesome.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Thank you. Yeah it was really loud. My grandma's ears are still ringing lol

[yt3141]

Great to watch. An HD cam might be worth a try if you can get one also.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Thanks. Eventually I'll invest in one.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UNDERSTAND, LIGHTING DOESN'T SELL!!! XD

[anonymousstormchaser]

LOL, no lady wants lightning in her house.

[LifeInATent]

@sgtSqeegee119 im a hater, this guy is fake and gay, no your chris... the loser with the Sgt screename.

[anonymousstormchaser]

haha me and sgtSqeegee were hanging out the day before and we went into a photography gallery in Old Scottsdale and I asked the lady if she had any lightning photographs and she said that they dont sell, it was funny, you had to be there.

[vadervideo]

@sgtSqeegee119 - Interesting commentary.... If that was the case, then I suppose all of my footage that you have probably seen on History, Discovery etc.. is all a figment of everyone's imagination?  Lightning footage does sell! - @Chris - just keep pluggin' away. Ignore these comments - they are utterly useless. :)

[sgtSqeegee119]

@vadervideo Excuse me jackass, me and Chris were at a photography gallery and he asked if they had any lightning pictures. She then proceeded to tell us all about how people don't like to hang pictures of lighting on their walls and how it doesn't sell. You weren't there, so stop acting like a know it all and try to stop the constant flow of shit coming out of your mouth.

[vadervideo]

@sgtSqeegee119 - no need to be rude.. but then again, I suppose you really don't know how to read, and simply assume everything is directed at you specifically. Perhaps you should read the comment again and not be such an ass about things. Nowhere does it say that you said that, it merely states "interesting commentary" - NOT that you specifically made such commentary. But then, perhaps you are just having a bad day. - Rudeness is a sign of insecurity.

[sgtSqeegee119]

@vadervideo Sorry Chief, I've been called out for that comment already so I figured some other idiot was scolding me for it. For that reason I was being rude. Don't act like you've never been rude to someone before.

[anonymousstormchaser]

Vader, sgtSqeegee's comment about the photo gallery is true. The day before, some lady told me that lightning pics dont sell. sgtSqeegee is not a hater. Misunderstanding resolved :)

[LysosTarcho]

He
