[35ilikepie]

i love the frame-by-frame you did...i hope to be able to storm chase like that one day...it's vids like these that make me want to be a storm chaser more and more :D

[DrBrianProductions]

i love videos like this :D

[Joshstarrr]

2 questions how come the lightnings not making any noise?? and what would actually happen if it hit your car? please answer! thanks!! :)

[PositivelyBored]

STOP...TALKING...DURING ...YOUR...>VIDEOS

only amateurs talk and ruin videos.

[gejwaites]

Must have felt so nice sitting in your car watching that, I love lightning storms.

By the way, are you safe if lightning strikes your car?

[DBROWN1588]

oh snap, 1:00

[trothic]

omg that is so awsome

[plouto04]

wat is a cg?

[1petealmquist1]

cloud to ground

[chieldeventer]

Great video, so much CG strikes, and so close! Very nice storm..

[journeystarr]

Limon, wow..now there's a name that is etched into Colorado history. I miss seeing storms out in Colorado, they just seem more intense out there.

[sgtsn1per]

shit man that was sick but 2 questions lol. was it just cos u were in ur car or was the thunder not that loud? and what r cg's?

[U2FAN1992]

CGs are Cloud to Ground lightning strikes.

[Canadarox1800]

maybe your car is attracting the lighting lol. it seems to be extremely close to you over and over again. i wish i could have actually watched that, lightining storms are awesome

[tehsux]

1:13 looks like a tornado of lightning

[xrichpnkrockerx]

a tornadoe at 0:51

[jmchaser]

Nope, no tornadoes in this one. What sort of looked like that was just heavy rain shafts that formed into a dark area under the storm.

[nessamaine]

i'm from southern colorado...i miss the summertime afternoon thunderstorms...thank you so much for this! :)

[nessamaine]

wow...

[marianalol]

5:14

:D

[nicnic212]

[idotdog12]

1:07 -1:10

[stormspinner1]

I love lightning =] And you've caught some good CGs!  Well done!

*StormSpinner1* in Texas

[crazyxemilia]

that is amazing =))

i like how you did a slow motion...really awesome

[DoDoDiXiee]

Whoah! I loved this, i always wanted to chase a thunderstorm but im too young to own a car and stuff, so that sucks. Do you often make these? I would love to see more!!

xx

[Staccato26]

Nice vid! Photography Heaven! :D

did you chase alone in this vid?

[jmchaser]

Thanks! Yeah, chased this one solo. Usually prefer it that way when chasing highly electrified, intense storms like this one due to the increased direct threat from rogue streamers and/or return strikes. A Non-tornadic storm with CG's hitting everywhere is much more dangerous than your average tornadic supercell just because of the random/nearly unpredictable nature of lightning. And yes, this would've been photography heaven--if I actually had my dSLR!! (;-(

[BeefyPorker25]

Awsome branching on those CGs!!

[Canadarox1800]

wow! they did a special on the discovery channel on sprites and positive lightning and even wat really happened 2 the columbia space shuttle! (it got struck by positive lightning, the same thing it went up 2 investigate in the first place! we were lied 2!)sum lightning in there looked one hell of a lot like positive lighning 2 me!

[cowboyzsuk81]

0:59 was close!!! did that hit ur car? or is that the ghost affect?

[jmchaser]

LOL...Fortunately, none of the strikes hit the car. Some came damn close though!! By ghost effect, I think you're referring to the foggy area on the windshield that looks to be "under" or in-line with the camcorder's view where the staccato (+CG) bolt hit? Either way, again that strike did NOT hit the car! The streaked mist on the windshield was from the defrost trying to clear the glass. One of these days...

[cowboyzsuk81]

lol if i were in that car with u, i would have been doing the same thing (recording it)

[MDHmodder]

nice

[Stormchaser2be]

excellent vid my friend....you are definately a VERY BRAVE MAN....and again...great stuff and thanks for posting...hope to see more from you soon

[ndwolfwood3006]

nice videography, too bad you didn't get a good still picture using a digital slr with all the lightning juxtaposed with the rainbow using a long shutter speed and maybe a nd filter but still some nice stuff!

[Zagoho]

nice vid dude^^
