Several Lightning Strikes in Slow Motion with Thunder from Severe Thunder Storm 720p HD

Severe Weather Thunder & Lightning Storm with lots of lightning strikes. On June 10, 2008 a severe electrical thunderstorm associated with a strong front blew threw the Schwenksville area. The electrical storm generated hundreds of lightning strikes accompanied by loud thunder, heavy damaging winds with enough force to topple mature trees, and penny sized hail. The electrical system also took some direct hits as a nearby power transformer was struck and exploded soon after. This video reveals some footage of lightning strikes which has been slowed down 8 times to allow a good look at the lightning as it jumps between clouds and occasionally even reaches the ground. The video also features audio recordings of the thunder generated by the lightning storm, however the thunder sounds are added for effect and are not actually in real time to the lightning. Be sure to watch in 720p HD mode!

They were taken from about 20 minutes of continuous video footage. It was a very intense storm with a lot of strikes. Over all we had lightning for about 90 minutes, but this was the peak time as it passed over us.

Mother Nature is amazing with her displays of dazzling light threatening yet soothing thunder. Little is as awe inspiring in the sky as watching a dense cloud system form into a super cell, that distinctive anvil shape at the upper levels. Then the light begins to fade into a greenish tint as it becomes darker. Soon the clouds above swirl in anticipation. Eddies form as hail begins to fall and lightning strikes all around. I just pray that if one spawns a tornado it isn't going to come to me.

at 1:30 in there is a repeated strike in the same place just like war of the worlds, on the left of the chimny , , there is also some kind of number or letter .9 or .2 at exactly 1:00 it flashes so try and be presise, messege me, somethings gunna happen ..

this is a post i couldn't agree more with. Well said!

I am sure Thunderstorms like this one do occur in Chile as well as in most other places around our dramatic planet. It was nothing over the top, just a really good strong cell that happened to pass right over me.
