Large lightning strike on a hill/mountain near to Javea on the Costa Blanca, Spain. Look out for the Pre-Strike which appears to strike just 6ft in front of us on the patio

  • I have a video on my page where I captured a bolt almost like this one. The little pink bolt you see is a positive streamer. It's nothing to mess around with!!!

  • did you get that dear, oh yes by george I did get it

    .

    by george yes I did

  • @dgr2544 I don't know but I think the "pre strike" looks close due to the light doing something to the camera. You don't see it in real but you see it on film recorded by cameras so I think that's pretty much correct.

    Anybody willing to correct me please do it will be interesting to read :)

  • @westhamjames i was in moraira in august on holiday and one day it proper bucketed it do and the road i was on just turned into a river and there was a drainage pipe hanging out and water was gushing out of it for ages but my god it was bloody good to watch

  • What you see before the large bolt of lightning is called a step leader, It is common to see more then just one of these just before the strike. These people were extremely lucky not to have been killed. If that step leader would have made contact with the lightning,it looks like bolt of lightning would have landed right at there feet. WOW !!! What a great video shot. You guys where so lucky

  • I love the laughing!LOL!

  • omg i have a house there with the exact same view, looks like it hit that lighthouse on the end of the maintain

  • Excellent, it's a rare moment to catch a strike that close! Sounds like the family were having fun!

  • yer but in spain when it rains, it RAINS, proper heavy, li live in moraira, but on the day if you put a 30m bueckt outside over 2sq mts, it wuld have been half full, tht much rain fell, it was the 2nd worst storm in European History since

  • Been there like 10 times, never saw rain. Locals say that there is 230 sunny days in Javea.
