ANOTHER strong storm blew directly over my house today (July 1 2015). The several nearby strikes can be seen building over multiple minutes, but the real action shows towards the end of the video around the 9-12min mark!
Location : South St. Louis Missouri near Tower Grove + Morganford
Facing North / Northwest at approximately 730pm CDT
A truly amazing display of lighting, and thunder which sounded more like explosions.
The storm started off seen as ominous dark clouds on the horizon, with distant rumbles of thunder.
As the storm drew closer, the intensity of the electrical potential in this storm became more obvious -- the surface winds completely dead, humidity topping 95% reaching near full precipitation levels.. temperatures in the mid to upper 80F range.
An incoming wall cloud is seen forming about half way through the video, coming directly towards my location.
Dozens of nearby lightning strikes occurred, several of which were around my house! Action really picks up at the end! @ 9min to the end OMG!
The storm became so intense I sought shelter inside due to nearby lightning strikes occurring with a few hundred feet or less.
Unfortunately this was recorded with my HTC windows 8x camera phone .. which has a slow CCD refresh rate, thus several of the flashes fall between frames, producing a cut off "flat line" effect. You can still make out the overall flashes regardless of the CCD's inability to capture the quick nature of several of these flashes.
Certainly one of the more intense nearby lightning storms I've ever been through.
Another storm blew through just the other day (June 28th) ... again slamming our area hard.. with a brunt of the storm hitting our neighborhood, it took out my neighbors tree while I was recording!
