I love how each clip tells a story. You got stuff like a shirtless dude with an umbrella, a couple walking with their child, and two people taking a beach selfie.
You know the saying "Lightning never strikes the same place twice?" That's totally wrong. It's more likely to strike the same place twice, because the conditions to allow it to strike in the first place usually still exist.
@@kalesalad7234 its true though. babies sometimes cry randomly even if you try to make them happy. my cousin cries when I coo at him cause I'm not his mom.
In high school a few years ago I was walking in the courtyard, a small but sever storm had just gone over us. Suddenly I felt a bunch of static electricity, all the hairs on my arms just stood up. I had heard many stories of people almost being struck by lightning so I knew instinctively to GET LOW. Just then lightning struck 10 feet away from me. It was the loudest, brightest, scariest thing I have ever experienced.
Last line is what near lighting escapers like me will tell Loudest, brightest ,scariest rod of electricity. I too missed a lighting bolt by 10 feet . Still have PTSD from it. I never ever go outside as soon as it is about to rain.
I've heard many people say they could feel a 'charge' or surge of energy that made their hair stand up just moments before a cloud to ground strike came down near them. I'm always waiting to see if someone reacts before the actual strike in such a way on camera.
I think the part that impressed me the most was the fact that the little girl who was being carried didn't start crying at 00:36 in the video. That's amazing a kid that young didn't start screaming bloody murder after that loud of a sound! Good stuff little one...
Pete, the first time I saw them trying to lift that "Rock," I didn't know it was a rock, I thought it was a washed-up baby whale covered in sand or some kind of a mammal & they're trying to push or roll it back into the water until I read your comment. I now know it's a rock, Thank God! My heart aches for all mammals washed-up from waves.
@@earthdruid4739 I’m pretty sure you would be scared if Zeus sent down a giant ball of lightning right next to your back meat you would be running for your life
In this video, it warns us to always be vigilant when it rains or is cloudy. Lightning can occur day or night. Lightning can strike trees, houses, vehicles, animals and even people, to the point of being deadly.
I have always loved watching the thunder storms, but once I was caught outside during one and the lightning hit so close, that I could smell and taste the ozone, my ears rang the rest of the day.. I'm not afraid of thunder, but it's not just pretty lights anymore either..
@@jakeurbano8268 hold it what position. Imagine you just saw a lightning when pass. You ran inside for safety still processing what you saw. Ofc you won't pay attention to what your hand is holding and what is it doing. It is the same like when you try to find your glasses while your glasses is on your head. Plus every other ways he can hold it is awkward. Holding it in front of you and purposely not trying to make cover your head? You reminded of person that look closely at actors that are playing a dead characters to see if they are breathing
@@loljay3281 my point exactly! He was so “shook” or scared, that he forgot he was holding his umbrella and proceeded to hold it above him inside the shed. I thought it was funny.
@@yaboiashy3721 You have obviously never been really close to a lightning strike and what it sounds like. I know these two and have seen the full video plus the damage done to the electricals in the house attached to the boat shed.
I heard thunder one time from a lighting strike very close, it sounded very different from distant thunder. It was more like a loud clap followed by this noise almost like a tea kettle was being taken off a stove, or the sound effect of an arrow flying by with a spin to it. Anyone else hear this before?
To me close lightning strikes sound like a very loud crack, as if the sky got split in two. Distant thunder usually has a low rumble to it and gradually "rolls through" as the sound wave passes
@@maxiimized I think in my case it might have been a tree getting stricken and the moisture inside it turning into steam. It definitely was not my ears ringing.
@Dman Sneed [Formerly Chuck’s] what are the chances D,: that pigeon had a big ass light post right beside it and also the woman was a potentially bigger target for the lightning current. 0% luck bro
2:00 If you pause in the exact milisecond, you can see how the lighting almost strike that guy over the rocks, it hit the floor and went down passing by his side Also it's interesting how the sound takes 1 second after you can see the lighting to be heared
I'll never forget the time back in college when we were sitting on the porch of my dorm during a thunderstorm (they made us come downstairs and sit in the lobby whenever there were tornado warnings in the area, even though the lobby had a wall of plate glass windows... so we just went outside because I'm sure that's safer...), one of my friends ran out into the middle of the parking lot and shouted up at the sky, "IS THIS ALL YOU GOT???" at which point a huge bolt of lightning hit the substation just across the street. Never seen a big guy run so fast!
This happened to me once, it wasn’t as close as some of these, but it was close enough to feel something. It was absolutely terrifying so I feel bad for all these people
I grew up in Washington State and I lived in a house surrounded by forest. It terrified me when there would be thunderstorms and when lightning hit it was even worse because I never knew which one would hit a tree and send it into the house roof, especially at night. I did, however, get to see a bolt hit the power lines right behind my neighbor's house because one storm was so bad I couldn't sleep. Scared the crap out my 10 year old self!
The guy that was standing next to his house, and a bolt strikes 15 feet away. I bet that was an electrifying experience. I was in my truck, and had a HUGE bolt strike right across the street one time. That was pretty intense. I can’t imagine standing outside and having it strike that close and throw dirt all over me. A little too close for comfort I would say!
プレ イズ ガMilkNCoffee you do feel it though it feels like a very loud base of coming from a speaker at least that’s how it felt when one struck near my job while I was outside. I felt it in my chest that’s how strong and loud the impact is it’s quite nerve racking.
Moon 🌙 , there was this one time (I was 6 at the time) I was at my grandma’s house and her door was made out our pure metal it was the thickest piece of metal I have ever seen and right next to our door step there was a bench made out of metal too and then I walked outside , it was raining hard af , and then a FUCKING thunder strike landed right in front of me , I swear for God’s sake that I was gonna die
I was in a house when lightning struck the lightning rod on the house. That as probably the single loudest sound I've ever heard. My ears were ringing for hours.
I remember one time when lightning struck a tree near my high school one afternoon, it broke a branch and left a burning red hot color on the wood, and it made such a loud sound that my ears were ringing. We were only about 30 meters away from it, it's lucky that it didn't hit anynone
