Exclusive video clip of the Most AMAZING Lightning Strike

Exclusive video of an amazing lightning strike. At the 08 second mark you can see the plasma rising in the lightning bolt. I've slowed it down so you can see it.

Lightning plasma is an ionized gas -- so the flash of light you see is static electricity 'charging' down from the cloud thru this ionized gas to make contact with the ground.

During a strike, the air around this plasma becomes superheated to 55,000 degrees fahrenheit (5 times hotter then the surface of the sun). Since hot air rises, this superheated air pulls up the plasma -- in effect creating a "plasma updraft".

Notice how the bolt never hit the transformer, but hit 20 feet away and the immense voltage arced 20 feet to blow up the transformer -- not only that -- but the electrical current then traveled across the power line (above the road) to blow out the transformer on the other side of the road simultaneously.

Feel free to check out our "Tornado" playlist showing video film footage of all types of tornadoes like elephant trunks, multiple-vortices, stovepipes, sidewinders and huge monster wedge tornadoes. Tornadoes from Aurora,NE ; Yazoo City, MS ; Campo,CO and Oberlin,KS for example. There's also video footage of tornado damage where buildings are blown completely off their foundations; people being rescued from collapsed buildings like in Yazoo City, MS where there was a deadly EF-4 tornado; truckers telling their near death experience when they jumped out of their semi-truck on I-80 and hide under a bridge overpass during a large, violent tornado which blew their 18-wheel truck completely off the interstate; scary , heartpounding scenes as huge wedge tornadoes are coming directly at us; sounds of large tree limbs hitting our car and antennas being blown off our roof. These videos show the raw, unedited footage of storm chasing during the most dangerous and life-threatening times. Tornadoes are rated by the damage they do based on the operational Enhanced Fujita scale (EF) ranging from EF0 to EF5. An EF0 tornado has winds b/w 65-85 mph; an EF1 tornado 86-110 mph; EF2 tornado 111-135 mph; EF3 tornado 136-165; EF4 tornado 166-200; an EF5 tornado has winds over 200 mph. Note, these winds speeds refer to a 3 second gust. As stated before, tornadoes are rated by the damage they do -- so even if you had a violent, 2 mile wide monster wedge tornado in a remote area that didn't hit anything thus doing no damage (not even crop damage) -- it would be rated an EF0 (even if the wind speeds were measured by the Doppler on Wheels -- DOW -- at 275 mph). In general, tornadoes form when you have instability (moisture) -- measured by the CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy). Once you have adequate moisture, you look for a lifting mechanism like cold fronts or drylines that will lift or force this moisture high up into the atmosphere. Then you look for wind shear -- i.e changes in wind direction w/ height. Tornado Alley refers to the area in the U.S. b/w the Rocky & Appalachian Mountains. To me, tornado alley refers to these states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, N. & S. Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, E Wyoming, E Colorado, W Minnesota. Dixie Alley refers to the lower MS Valley -- i.e Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and the upper Tennessee Valley -- i.e N Alabama & Georgia. Hoosier Alley refers to an area from S Michigan to S Indiana plus E Illinois to W Ohio.

The thunder did'nt sound like a crack like I was hoping, but a "Bong"?

Lol great video! Excellent capture, thats a 1 in a million shot right there

[extremeweatherfilms]

@TheUtahraptor1 Thx for watching & leaving a nice comment !

[roawr123]

Wow. How unlikely is it that you would actually get something like that on video, unless your looking for it. That is amazing.

[extremeweatherfilms]

@roawr123 Glad I had my dashcam recording -- thx for watching & commenting !

[MrModZix]

thumbs up if you think this is fake .

[extremeweatherfilms]

@MrModZix Do you think it's fake?

omg thats a one in a million shot!! amazing video!!!

[986tornado]

WOW that whould wake you up for the rest of the day.

@extremeweatherfilm I think you have caught a troll here.

Anyway, AWESOME. Us Perth people only get pleb storms with only wind rain and lighting while you get awesomeness. One day I shall travel to see some real storms...
