Deadly Lightning! - Twin Cities, MN 08-13-07

Wicked late night lightning show. Several very close strikes within a couple minutes. Hair raising experience to say the least. Turn up the sound for this one.

People in Palestine hear these sounds everyday but it isn't lightning :( We're lucky

@ralucagymnast Hi, you can hear it. Positive strikes are much stronger than negative. Much more bass in the sound, and they sound like "boom" instead of crackling. Also positive lightning doesn't have many multiples, usually they strike only once. See 2:03 for example. :)

@myrskyv78 Hi, yes its an amazing storm isnt it? Very intense. How do you know that they are positive strikes, by the way? Im curious:)

[myrskyv78]

I can't believe how many positive strikes that storm has, almost every strike is positive boom. just unbelievable!

[ralucagymnast]

UncleGrizzo, I take it these storms are short in their duration? How long did this particular severe thunderstorm last? I noticed by the end of the video you can see the clouds starting to break?

@UncleGrizzo wait, at around 1:39, you mentioned that there was another big boom coming... how did you know. unless it was just coincidence. xD

[haisano]

Wish you had some better external shots of the lightning...still love the feeling of being inside on a stormy night. Helps for those of us stuck in San Diego where we've not had lightning for 9 months!
