"Dinner?" ;) You smooth operator.

At 2:34 that bolt looked like it hit a transformer.

@RailRKO57 Yep! I missed that initially but saw it when I reviewed the video later that evening! Thanks for watching!

@tornadovideostock Yes, it def. hit something! Nice video. I think we Floridians see this type of weather so much we never bring our cameras out. I love lightning, but respect it! I think it's really beautiful. Thanks for posting. From a Native Floridian...

When I went to Fort Lauderdale, I loved how it the lighting just keeps coming and coming even without rain.

Sometimes I wouldn't even hear it, just see it light up behind clouds.

im a new yorker but i've been to florida many times for vacation and i love the lightning storms they get during the summer. One reason why i love florida's storms is because the lightning often knocks out the power for about 10 to 15 seconds b4 coming back on.

@noreaga12326 Yes! lol. the night of this storm the power in our hotel went out for about 2 hours! Lost the damn air conditioning too. Finally came back on about midnight. Thanks for watching!

@tornadovideostock

The lightning bolts in your Fort Lauderdale video were just an incredible sight to behold! I know of a way you can tell how far away a storm is. First, you see the lightning flash. Then count in elephant until you hear the thunder. If you get to ten elephant before hearing the thunder, the storm is ten miles away. Have you ever been in any power outages before you started chasing storms? If so, how many power outages were you in, Scott?

@kurtdog119 A few here and there, but they weren't all storm related. We had the big Blackout of August 2003 and that one we were without power for over 24 hours. Here and there the power will go out in a town while chasing storms, it's pretty common out there on the plains. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the lightning videos!

I was in a power outage that lasted until about 2 a.m., and that was actually the longest power outage I've been in since moving to my new home. I've also seen some wild weather that created a possible tornado which caused a weather related power outage. Happened during the day, but I know that if the power goes out at night, it makes your house completly dark. We recently had a bad flood that produced water levels higher than Hurricane Agnes did in 1972!

Great display :) I love watching lightning but I think those would have sent me hiding under the table. Don't get storms like that in the UK. Fabulous footage and a treat to watch

@Avalon041167 Thanks for watching! And yes, it's too bad you don't get storms too frequently over there in the UK. I was in London this past October for the first time and loved it.
