That thunderstorm had severe size hail(1 inch or larger size), and thus was severe. The hail core simply missed your location. With the frequency of the lightning in your video, there is no way that it would not be a severe hailer. I see those all the time. From the frequency of lightning in your video, I would guess that this cell contained up to golf ball size hail.
@Stormsfurry777 - That is no longer true. The Storm Prediction Center in conjunction with the National Weather Service have now upgraded the hail criteria in order for a thunderstorm to be classified as severe. Now, the storm must contain hail of 1" or larger to be called severe, instead of the old criteria of 3/4".
When your that close, you never hear the thunder, been there many times! I live across a 22 story building. Gets hit every storm. The light is, no words.
i had that once myself alone on a bycicle, didnt know how fast i cycled home after that:P i saw a brightlight (was the only thing is saw) and direct after that a earth shaking shock. i think it was like 30 meters away from me. glad to survived it
Just thought a quick reply would suffice ... a severe thunderstorm is defined as one containing 58 mph winds and/or 3/4 inch diameter hail ... many times now wording from NWS warnings and statements will include a thunderstorm or strong thunderstorm with excessive cloud to ground lightning is occurring. But lightning alone does not make a storm severe.
I don't know if you were directing the reply at myself, but I know the criteria. My younger brother came out as I was filming and asked "is it severe?" and I said "no, lightning doesN'T make it severe."
Lightning is one of the criteria in determing a storm's severity. Mostly it depends on high winds, hail and in some cases the possibility of tornadoes forming. As for lightning being a factor, there would have to be more cloud-to-ground strikes than normal in determining a storm's severity.
i never knew lightning was the big indicator of a severe thunderstorm....i always thought in descending order that it was number of tornados spawned, size of hail., lightning, and wind speed...
@prairiestormwx Then I suppose it's just coincidental that lightning happens to be more intense in severe thunderstorms? And EAS warnings almost always advise of "dangerous lightning" with severe thunderstorms. Sorry, but I have to stand by my original comment with that, though I also agree with stormtracker05's comment.
@HauntedGhostLady I am a meteorologist and can also say currently lightning and rainfall are not factored in calling a thunderstorm "severe". A severe thunderstorm as defined in the United States is hail 1 inch in diameter or larger (quarter sized), winds of 58 mph or greater, or a tornado. The storm only needs one of those parameters to meet criteria.
Gads, that's WAY too close. Holy smoke. I would have browned my drawers - know what you mean about dazed and disoriented from lightning, been indirectly struck three times.
Dangerous lightning is something to keep in mind but when a thunderstorm strikes at night and a warning is issued. it is hard to recognize damaging winds or possibly a tornado until they are upon you and thats why a weather radio is a GREAT investment! One with a warning alarm that is!
yeah no kidding. once I was in london ontario during a storm chase there was lighting about every second and a half. apparently two people got struck and the last I heard one of them was in critical condition 8|
I shot a video of lightning recently at my house in Hawaii the night of 12-7-07 at about 10:17pm, I have no idea how close the lightning was, but I felt the shock wave in my chest and ran for the house afterward, maybe you can see for yourself and let me know how close you think the lightning was, the video was aired on out local news also. Thanks!
you know whats evenworse. you lying in bed, it quiet and you start to feel your hair stick up. and all of a sudden you see lighting strike the house across the street from you... it makes you not want to sleep during a thinderstorm again.
This video is interesting as hell. If you notice, after the first strike caught on camera, there were 2 or 3 more very close hits. You could see the flash. SCARY AS HELL!! Of course, I would've been scared shitless too after that first one. Very cool video!
hey. this is why you don't question storms or God when it's storming. I asked God to make up his mind about our flickering lights in hurrican frances, and he a tree fell on our transformer about a minute later. i've learned my lesson. i hope you've learned yours. :)
Now uv started readin dis dunt stop. This is so scary. Send this to 5 ova videos in 143 minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary cause it actually works. If u break the chain u will have problems with relations p.s for the next five years x-x-x
here's my way of telling a severe t-storm. especially at night if u see multiple flashes of lightning and see atleast 3 flashes in 2 seconds, then it is a severe t-storm. Next time one hits ur town, watch for it. I bet it is severe.
haha thats cool... my dad lives over on Burkwood Dr... I live in NC now but grew up there and attended UHS... I guess its not that remarkable I just thought it was interesting to run into someone close to home on YouTube. I will have to ask dad if he remembers that lightning strike
oh shit this was brutal - after the first close one hit it opened the way to several more strikes, seems these things feed on each other, I've noticed this in other storms.
i think mother nature heard when u said that and got real mad. that shows people that u should speak 2 soon. i had 2 learn my lesson the hard way! i wish i had a video for my bad experince. I ssooooo happy ur okay tho!
17 yards is pusseh. I got struck in the middle finger while i was flicking off a storm. I thought that hurt, so i told the storm to suck on my hairy ballz. couple secondds later, twin bolts of lightning zapped my boys clean off. that sucked. too bad i won't be able to have kids.
oh, and if you don't repaste this on 10 more videos it will happen to you. unless you're female, then it will be your breasts.
Lightning is hotter than the surface of the sun. It's so hot that it causes air around the bolt to expand at supersonic speed causing the sonic boom/thunder clap. Dogs respect and fear lightning and humans should too since more people get hit by lighting than win the lottery.
That Lightning strike seemed a bit odd to me, the way it struck, there was a 2 second pause there before the main lightning hit, even i heard it coming before appearing although i guess i dont even anyone knew it coming because it happened so sudden >> guess im the only one with a knack for feeling a lightning before striking.
The appearance could be partly because the discharge interferes with the camera.
Also, lightning comes on two perts: The first from the ground to the sky ionizes the air; the second is from the sky down, and that's the one that makes most of the sound and light. (I think)
i have to say u mess with the bull you get the 100 million volts of pure energy. an average electrical socket has about 210. so yeah i think you can do the math. one hit from lightning is about 500 times as much as a regular outlet
God is much more powerful than that... God could like, totally make the lightning strike not even hurt at all... He could be hit by lighting and not even feel it....
Looked like you provoked the storm, lol i do that alot to get more lightning, insulting the storm actually does make more lightning lol. So that was an amazing shot btw! WOW!
Disclaimer/copyright could appear on the outerframe of vid... I had an analog video disrupt as well when the lightning hit, I was recording stereo audio as well during a thunderstorm, it really comes with no warning other then the lightning
