I heard this click today, so I am here through some random reddit posts where people have listed videos of the click and wondering how its built up. Scary stuff! Good video capture of it :)
That was for sure NOT a positive one!!! Positives are Straight Lightning Strikes, looking like a Loooong Twig stretching from Cloud to Ground. This one seems like an Inter-Cloud or Intra-Cloud Crawler or smtg
what site do you use to detect the current of the lightning?? just experienced the brightest snd loudest positive lightning in my life closeup.... wanna know what current it was drawing
@@quantumcat7673 Lightning peak currents are estimated by lightning detectors, using range normalised signal strength. You can see detected strokes and their peak currents here meteologix.com/lightning I believe the source of their data for Europe is ALDIS.at
Don’t know if you experienced the full force of this storm but living in the Heathrow area it was honestly insane. Closest thing to a derecho we’ll probably ever see in the UK. One of the best daytime storms I’ve ever seen and without a shadow of a doubt the best storm of 2022.
It was a crazy storm, big bowing QLCS, although I narrowly dodged the strongest damaging wind gusts. I saw reports of a tornado in the next county over though!! The storm was so fast moving too, this lightning strike came just minutes after the first distant rumbles on the horizon.
If you're talking about giant squid, probably more than we think lol. If you're talking about aurora, you'd be hard pressed to find one in the deep ocean
The last time there was a G5 storm before this was the Halloween storms of 2003, however if you just mean aurora in general, I've seen it quite a few times here over the years, just under 10 times in the last year. First I've ever seen it was in 2016
That double snap from the strike at 0:20 is chilling. I’d imagine the first one was all the electronics getting cooked, and the 2nd was the echo of the physical object the bolt struck.
I look at the lightning strike data on meteologix.com/ie/lightning which uses data from the global lightning detection network (I believe blids.de for my region). The sensor network can determine polarity & peak current of individual lightning strokes, this one happened to be +25kA.
0:21 First time I've clearly heard _two_ upward streamers associated with a strike. A weak one nearby, and a very strong pop heard half a second later, so some 500 feet away.
That second strike hit a powerline about a mile away, which was directly connected to the lines leading to my house. The snaps are from overvoltages in the distribution lines, and both come from where the power lines terminate, at my house - my neighbours (as you guessed, about 500ft away!). My guess is a little arc in the lightning arrestor. The strike was around -40kA, so the leaders would need to come within 45-110m or so of the powerlines to induce a streamer according to striking distance calculations by Love 1973 & Wang et. al. 2013. The closest leaders were about 700-800m away, so not close enough. However, that final strike, if you listen very carefully at the instant it happens, there is a much louder crack before the thunder begins - I timed this crack to be about 12-15m away, the same distance as the power line. The leaders from this flash were less than 100m away, and the peak current was -53.8kA, so I believe that one might genuinely have the sound of a positive streamer captured!
Oh Cool - that's why it sounds so dynamic and clean. I recorded with H1N years before: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-emiNXmEOv8w.html Really nice 😁@@Tstorms
@@gunniholli2187 Yeah the h4n has some really good dynamic range! Also nice recording!! A lot of my stuff for the past year or so has been with a h1n too, a temporary replacement because my h4n stopped working after 9 years lol. Though I recently got a zoom F3 and a pair of primo em272s, hoping to try them out this year on some storms 🌩️
