@@cahesolo9267 No problem, good luck with your learning :).

Yeah, thunder from positive strikes can be really insane sometimes!

To je škoda no :(. Já ani nevím kolik tenhle měl, Meteologix ho vůbec nezměřil.

@@TStormGuy Vždy jak to sem jde od Ostravy tak to začne umírat a pustí to pár CG+

@@ptrn4241 V Ově se na CG+ taky občas zadaří, ale takových co je tady na videu je hodně málo teda.

Absolutely. The sky was on fire, it was incredible.

Louder could simply mean that it was nearer.

It's actually negative, positive lightning often has its thunder to be more powerful than negative one, often resemblance of an bomb explosion

Yeah, could be. Meteologix captured it as a positive CG, but it could be wrong.

@@TStormGuy since both of them had a crackle like thunder, it had to have some branching. But a positive CG is smooth channel lightning, with no branching at all, and the thunder that follows, will sound like a bomb of some sort, one of my videos, I had close encounters with CG lightning strikes

​@@SeraphiathorNot necessarily, it may be rare but positive flashes can still branch close to the ground sometimes. There are a few high speed videos captured by Tom Warner showing this happening

​@@Seraphiathornot always, positive leaders can still branch. It's rare for them to branch closer to the ground, but it still happens sometimes. There are a few high speed videos captured by Tom Warner showing multiple positive leaders approaching the ground before a +CG return stroke.

Hmmm. Could be. Meteologix captured it as a positive CG, but I honestly have zero idea how precise their data are.

I agree that they both sound like -CGs... the first one had at least 2 terminations and second one was likely stronger. It's interesting if LLN data captured one as positive. Vaisala's networks don't really confuse polarity... however they often misclassify cloud vs. CG flashes. I'm guessing it identified the second one as +CG? I'd think that it either misclassified a cloud pulse as CG or maybe the flash produced both positive and negative strokes... or maybe it really was a +CG that sounded negative. Buildings may cause weird effects with the sound sometimes. --Chris

@@TStormGuy From my personal experience: not accurate at all ;) 9 years ago there was a storm that produced 5 powerful close strikes, with the first being the closest at about 150-300 meters distance. Did a damage-survey in the neighbourhood (but found nothing) and than turned to Meteologix, which listed a strike like a kilometer at closest while they definitely were closer than that.

That’s what it is

There's no specific kA, individual strokes are either positive or negative and either can have high or low peak current (although +CGs are slightly more likely to be higher current). Both 100kA negative strokes and 10kA positive strokes are possible!

Its really just close. Positive charges have their "crack" sounds more distinctive even tough strike was generally far, kinda like a bomb explosion than your typical lighting, these had distinctive thunder we hear just being close, regardless if you hear cracking in thunder even if its far away from striking, its likely positive cg

Each and every medium to large jet that flies over your head has a ram air turbine.

@@davecrupel2817 Not the boeing 737

No. Some 737's have a RAT

But its very rare to find a 737 with a rat

But medium to large planes are required to have a rat
