very close lightning strike

[misscray1]

I am impressed.

[TStormGuy]

Great reaction :D

[emiabregu]

I love the cracking sound of the thunder

[Kammerz10]

That happened here (where we rarely get storms), just out of nowhere...

[ConfuzzledCub]

Pause at exactly a few split seconds before 0:05 pause at 0:04

[ConfuzzledCub]

Ya must be an Aussie. I can tell by the accent and the awesome personality! My brother is in Melbourn.

[300man04]

[googybuzzy]

YIKES!!!

[carriehopkins7]

That got ur car!!! :O

[mcfurley]

lol voice goes high pitched at 0:29

[BarneySaysHi]

Could have been a bolt out of the blue.

[MegadethDave666]

dude if u pause it at 0:05 u can see the lightning

[dm19821982]

haha australians rule

[Damasterdotorg]

omg i'm crying in laughter "jesus fucking christ!" LOL!!!

[300man04]

@Damasterdotorg its jeezus fackin chroist

[Granitesand]

Yea man I have to agree that was really something. My reaction would have been the same as yours.

[kaleidostar132]

LOL ur reaction was hilarious. nice bolt. good thing u captured it just in time.

[kokhetast]

This was great! :D

[cloverfield911]

This is definately one of the best captures on YouTube. If u take it frame by frame, u can see a failed stepped leader trying to leap from the top of the SUV. Meanwhile the actual bold strikes up from the ground into the electricity cables and continues into the sky further down the wire near the pole!!! A classic perfect strike!!!

[cloverfield911]

U can see the first bolt struck this side of the tree, then a second struck the far side in a split second.

[olddutch999]

BLASPHEMY. The bible says the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

[Staccato26]

easy now lol.. God's propably just as entertained by this vid as us! ^.^

[Stormchaser2be]

VEEERRRRYYYYYYY NICE capture...maybe the best ive seen yet!!

[Drakedragon1315]

"JESUS FUCKIN CRIST!!" lol that was awsome.

[Onweergek]

a positive bolt... the bolt also lasts a bit long, nice nice!

[je641687]

How can you tell a positive from a negative bolt?

[Staccato26]

A positive strike originates from the anvil (top) of the thunderstorm commonly accosiated with intercloud activity, anvil crawlers.

[Staccato26]

Hi je..

According to the OTD global lightning density map derived by NASA, Zaire (on the African continent) pales Singapore for lightning, but then again.. they havn't really got a clue either, the maps change too much every year. lol

[je641687]

Haha, hey BTW, I actually had a rather close encounter with a bolt just yesterday in Lancaster County, PA. That storm was crazy, we had pea-sized hail also! I wish I had my camera with me. I would be posting it now!

[sicilian12345]

that beeping you hear seconds before the thunder claps is the charge running through the ground and effecting electrical products in your home or around you that are plugged in.

[BeefyPorker25]

Kununurra, the lightning capital of the world!! ..beats florida :)

[Staccato26]

Kununurra's up there but Congo, Zaire and Kenya get the most on earth :)

[je641687]

I saw on one of either the Discovery or TLC channel programs, that Singapore is the lightning capital of the world...

[je641687]

Hell, I was 40 FEET from a lightpost that got hit by lightning... Too bad I wasn't looking at it when it happened. Someone said the damned thing glowed purple, along with... BOOOOOOMMM!!!!

[CuBaBloDpR17]

That is not impressive at all. I've seen much more intense lightning strikes here in Florida. That kind of lightning you saw, i've seen it here while its sunny out

[Staccato26]

Especially the limestone areas inland from Tampa! :)

[jihadforcash]

i bet you got the shit scared out of you... i remember i was at a DC United Soccer game and a storm came through and was actually hitting the stadium... no joke it sounded like bombs

[200twistatwista]

This looks Awesome very nice storm and lightning CG strikes!!! WOW!! yup

[Jimmy87nottingham]

CRIKEY MATE! dya wanna get some castlemain XXXX and put some steaks on the barbie....lol loving the accent mate.

[cmeonthemove]

Also what sometimes happens is lightning can travel several miles outside a storm cloud (arc lightning), landing somewhere litteraly out of the blue.

[KrystalFrizz]

Really cool capture though... I once had this happen - in the middle of the night. Two bolts came down right on my street, there was no warning beforehand, and no more afterwards... Scared the crap outta me!

[200twistatwista]

yeah that one goy in the car that captures that lighting in tha car and says it's 10 feet away and is more like 2 miles what a lire his name was lazyJuggalo that guy dont know shit aboat likening aka lightning lol.

[Onweergek]

Not very special, maybe a thunderstorm popped up above you, so you had the first lightning strike of it. It can also be an very unactive cell that produces lightning very sometimes, that slightly moved to you.
