A few years ago I couldn't sleep cuz of lightning, it was about 1 or 2 AM, and then I suddenly the house was like it was day for a sec, and at the same time I heard a loud BOOM, the next day I saw what happened to a house 20 feet from my house...
About 10% of the roof of that house was gone, well, nice vid! I wish I could record a lightning strike... :(
Sheesh, what is it with lightning in this town? We had another one recently strike across the street and literally blow up a tree. It carved a slot about 3 inches wide and an inch deep from the very top all the way to the ground and scattered splinters all over the parking lot about 100 feet away, some were as long as 8 feet!
holly shit. that was super close. u said it had volts attached to it. geese. that must be a like at 15 voltage or something. i just got my first lightning strike on my phone. it was at work to. like going on 820 pm
I was getting my paintball gun out of our car getting ready to play at icu when lightning strikes rite above us and the thunder was tremendous I dropped my co2 think if the lightning struk tht while I was holding it
The same, I had a storm when I was in Hong Kong, went to the top of my apartment block after it woke me up. I'd been waiting for this chance! The door onto the roof faces towards the coast, so you could watch the storm come in and not be completely exposed (there have been stories of strikes coming through open doors but the odds are astronomical). I could watch buildings being hit repeatedly 3-400m away. Like me, I bet afterwards you thought "if only I'd brought my camera with me to record it"
lol i was ouside last summer and i was just walking around my yard and this loud as fuck thunder came from nowhere. i didnt see lightning tho. then next time i went outside a fire truck came down my street =( )
wtf did it hit?!? Oh, that's too close. Glad you're okay. And at least you HAVE a basement. In my part of Tornado Alley, we don't. Count your blessings! 5/5 stars.
It hit a building just down the street and arced all over the place, down the power lines, around the back of the buildings where I was facing, etc. How close it came to me personally I'm not quite sure, but it certainly felt DAMN CLOSE.
Look around the internet, there are various ways to make re-enforced rooms for improvised tornado shelters, or you could just dig one out yourself, they're not too difficult to make for what I understand.
Bet you felt the heat off'n that one. WOW. Couple years ago, was sitting under an awning at a local restaurant, trying to capture (and failing miserably) a lightning strike with my digital. A bolt hit a power box across the street. Talk about arcing and fireworks. Missed the bolt, got the smoke rising after. I definately felt the heat off it. LOL If I had caught it, would have been the pic of the year! Where I live: gov't apts. They won't let us build shelter, dangit. Tx for writing!
You know, lightning can be useful, if u wanna get high, you'll be hopped up on your own adrenaline for a good 30 mins if a lightning bolt goes off close by.
we were on the top a mountain when there was a bad storm one time. lightning started a fire on the next ridge over. we ran the rest of the way down the trail
I had something simular happen on Mt Willard in NH, I was like 1/4 mile from the top when other hikers came running DOWN the trail past me because a storm was coming. Apparently wanting a Darwin award I went up the rest of the way away but fortunately the storm just missed.
I also have two uncles which had just reached the top of Mt Washinton when a REALLY bad thunderstorm hit, they were in the bunker watching lightning hit the cog rails maybe 30 feet from the windows, cool stuff!
lol, why would you run when the lightning doesn't even last a second, and it's over. Lightning usually doesn't strike twice, so take your time getting in. But it might be the fact that you're running to the bathroom after you shat your pants. :P
I can see the lightning when you pause at the right time. Somewhere at 6 seconds.
If you see that white.... thing... there's 2 trees behind it right? Somewhere between those trees the lightning appears. It's tiny, but maybe you'll see it.
thunder storms are nothing to fool with. if you get hit , and live you can be f{}_KED the rest of your life . with brain dam. nerve loss, stay out of them.
must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved srry
yes the E.M.P. affected the camera temporarily pay attention right next to the bolt that the camera got a crappy image and the sound blacks out for a moment....this is the definition of BALLS OF STEEL!
that was sooooooo real but i wish you didnt freak out so we couldve seen it better.... good job though!!!! remember that it can make your camera all fizzy. AWESOME SHOT! FIVE STARS! (good risk)
lol this reminds me i was covering up the grill cause it was about to rain and lightning struck near the house next door i started running and almost fell on my face it was so funny
True, but you have to experience a strike that close to really understand how scary it is. While in reality it hit the building next door, it was sooooo incredibly loud and the flash so bright that at that moment I thought it had literally struck only 10 feet from me!
Yeah, and DON'T stand near a bunch of iron pipes sticking out of the ground, that's what those white things were to the right of the truck. I broke about a thousand 'don'ts' of lightning safety that day, and just about earned myself a Darwin award. Needless to say I don't shoot video out that door anymore, and I use a tripod.
My neighbor was watching the storm from the front of the building and actually saw the lightning travel down all the wires, wish I had caught THAT on video!
