Mine more intense 4 lightnings strike on one place

I Know Right

didn't you have this kind of lightning with your tornadoes ?

@@ahmad22568Even the most severe storms do not have lightning exactly like this. High in the sky? Yes. Striking the ground? No. The conditions needed to create such frequent strikes to the ground over one small area is very rare. It is not the same as the conditions needed for tornadoes or large hail.

it doesn’t help that all the CGs in this are single to triple stroke negatives…

@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 can you explain to me the differences of the atmospheric conditions you mentioned? I chase storms and love such cells with frequent CGs and would like to know how to forecast and recognize such storms in the field.

@@YannisManesis Tornados need low-level shear and lifting in the ground to low-level layer (often achieved by a downdraft). Lighning on the other hand needs a strong updraft, freezing hydrometeors and a certain level of separation of charge in the cloud. While both mechanism often happen synchronically, they are still different, and even counteract each others. It's pretty much possible to have conditions that highly support lightning, but would never be sufficiant for producing a Tornado (missing sufficiant low-level shear). However, especially with cells producing Type-I-Tornados, observations and a handful of studies show that the lightning rate of cloud-to-ground flashes prior to Tornado touchdown decreases (rapidly) and stays low as long as the Tornado is on the ground. The reason for this isn't quite understood yet. It is assumed that for a Tornado to get finally produced, the updraft of the storm has to weaken somewhat. This would reduce the charge separation in the cloud and therefore the lightning rate to decrease.

its not amazing its so scary we got lightning storms like this in our region every summer and autumn

yes USA have strong thunderstorms especially when there is a tornado

28 April 2023 rain thunder ST

world dangerous and scary thunderstorm

I had no idea!! Wow!!

I remember that one! I was in the south of the netherlands and that storm was WILD. Clouds came rolling in like it was the ocean and just continuous lightning like in this video. I never ran inside so fast as I did then. Very violent storm.

I Know It’s Scary 😱 Right

Probably wasn''t underneath the actual storm, lightning can strike pretty far away,

I think this was a dry thunderstorm. Those usually happens during summer if i'm not mistaken. Where the rain evaporates before reaching the ground in midair.

The center of the storm looks little far away. Maybe this was the front of the storm? I just can't believe with how dark those clouds were there was no rain with this at all.

@@heythereitsRBK2 You can see some pretty heavy rain curtains in the beginning of the video I think. It was just such an electric storm, that the lightning was striking a good couple miles ahead of the main precipitation core.

That guy had balls of steel recording this

I think this person was just outside a door to the house. This person could slip inside at a moment's notice.

They were all CG .

It is a combination of continuous updraft building and continuous electron charges. The cumulonimbus cloud is generating.

Unfortunately there is no way to improve the quality of this video, only by deleting it and uploading again

​@@Tal.B434Upload a 2nd copy

Phone + zoomed out + darkness + RU-vid quality downgrade. It’s just how it is

this aggressive lightning strikes also happens in some parts of Saudi Arabia especially in the mountains, because of what you mention in your comment, the heat and extreme humidity

That is extreme and loud.

Ce n’est pas un montage. Image en temps réel.

Storms in the United States and lots of places can have instant lightning, it’s not unheard of, this is in real time

@@vincetornado5611 mercì

@@LightningEthan ok.. well this is so powerful..

For some reason the quality of the video has been compromised since I uploaded it. I don’t know why. Anyway, it wasn’t me taking this video as mentioned in the description

@@Tal.B434 No worries.. When a storm comes dont forget to film it :)

@@Gibbs-rq4ygit looks like it was filmed on a phone while zoomed out so the darkness makes the quality bad

I wonder if we should be thankful that the videographer was very generous to offer it to us here as is. Don't you think so?
