A Sunny Beach Day Gets Ruined by a Major Storm in Finland

#1 - Top Favorited (Today)) - News & Politics - Canada

This video is from the HS.fi news website in Finland and was uploaded today on August 9, 2010. This is Hietaniemi Beach near Helsinki on August 8, 2010, probably around 9 PM (the sky is still light because of the high latitude). The storm cloud is coming from the South and heading North at sea level. Could it be related to the airborne dust particles from the forest fires devastating Russia and fogging up Moscow or from the Icelandic volcano? No other details are available.

This is the only video on Youtube in real time, i.e. without the PAL-to-NTSC 1/24 speed-up, so it is a little longer than the other versions.

A freak storm also ruined a concert by Mötley Cruë and wounded 40 people at the nearby Sonisphere music festival in Pori, Finland, on Sunday August 8, 2010. But Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop did manage to perform afterwards.

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B67X3X... for the music festival.

Damn nature, you scary.

Correction upon correction. Like Robbaz said, THOR is the administrator of the thunder department.

Not much real in a place such as ours, Europe... ;)

But the US has some of the most impressive-looking clouds, shaped in 1001 manners, including Mammatus and unimaginably shaped shelf clouds! :)

Most amazing is that some loser took this vid, added some strange sounds, then claimed this was some premonition to the doomsday...

I really bet he disabled comments to do not get the truth slapped on his face. xD

Seriously, these pricks of "doomsday prophets" should be quarantined, especially prevented from touching anything using Internet and any other kind of radio transmitting devices, they degenerate the World! :P
