  • Great footage. That lightning was pretty close; glad you were safe.

    You noted it was a summer storm, yet you didn't upload it until July, when it was winter for you. Was it filmed during the summer and uploaded later? Is the weather warm in Brisbane year round and the storms just as intense? Just curious because I'm from the US and rarely hear of weather stories down under.

  • hauntedghostlady - I just went looking for some interesting footage to upload when I decided to start my youTube account. This was as good as any.

    Brisbane, being sub-tropical, is warm and wet in summer, cool and dry in winter.

  • somethin is moving in the clouds at 1:13

  • A flock of birds was spooked by one of the lightning strikes around that time that was particularly close. A few seconds later you can see the rest of the flock take off from the right.

  • sorry to say this guys but that looks like it was edited, when lightning dangles from the sky like that it makes a HUGE noise, them bolts really look like they were put in cos theres no thunder

  • It was filmed with a 5 year old Sony Cybershot camera, the mic isn't the best on it. Sorry I couldn't afford anything better, Benno...

see all

  • @HauntedGhostLady It's interesting moving to an area that doesn't get much lightning, then you realise that just as the Eskimos have 20 words for snow Brisbanites have at least 20 words for lightning. When quizzing a local(long way from Brisbane) over a recent thunderstrom I asked "what sort of lightning" - blank stare - "lightning" the reply.

  • I love the Irish guy's reaction! I remember being in a storm like this in Brisbane, watching from my 6th floor apartment as the lighting struck the ground all around me.

  • I have been lucky enough to see this from Bracken Ridge, it's spectacular and it doesn't let up.. its like the end of the world lol
