Brisbane Storm Lightning from Regatta 20-11-2008

Lightning from the massive storm passing over the city.... quite mesmerizing. This was the last in a series of storms that hit Brisbane (Sunday evening storm destroyed a suburb, Thursday AM was just a violent squalling storm and this was the result of at least 3 major storm cells meeting over the CBD after they had passed through the suburbs on Thursday PM) - you can see the city of Brisbane looking quite small underneath it. This was taken from the 3rd level balcony of the Regatta Hotel

I love it when it's like that you can sit there & watch for hours.

[@AdamLucio]

wow, that is probably the most impressive display of lightning ive ever seen, great catch!

[@andrewah15]

That was truly amazing!! It's like an epic battle of the gods!! The best storms are always at night. I've saved this to my favourites too. Thanks for posting a fantastic video.

[@cooliesass]

Excellent capture of an outstanding night-lightning display! Saved to my favorites!

[@ecazare1]

This is amazing! I always take the time to appreciate a great lightning storms (show) whenever there is extreme weather.

[@Mandego]

Incredible footage! I can only imagine how amazing this storm must have looked seeing it with your own eyes.

[@marinpitton]

how can anybody say that this is fake?? this kind of storms are rare but thats why they called lightning storms and this one is with upward lightnings..this is AMAZING!!

[@ShakeSoft]

Very impressive footage from a lightning storm! Thank you for the images. Now I want to travel to Brisbane!

[@meridgey]

Beautiful light show. :-)

[@dutchtrainmanserie22]

Supercell thunderstorm!!!! Awesome video.

[@TwoWholeWorms]

Brisbane was so beautiful before the Jam. :(

[@netabolt6546]

after watching this i always end up getting speechless. Realy amazing footage. i mostlmy play this at night if its dark, for maximum effect. KeepUpTheGoodWork.

[@djmskinart]

Mate you got some good footage there, good job.

[@jjsproull]

we don't normally have anything like this here either! Just storms that are a few notches less.

[@guarana80]

Last night lightning was epic. It just didn't stop . It was like there was a war happening in the clouds .

[@AdrianWilsonBridders1234]

Amazing, good colours too, we have NOTHING like this in the UK

[@Govenator001]

AMAZING!

[@yoChris76]

good show to deter any aliens from visiting :) lol

[@mezpezlez]

This is amazing...most frequent lightning ive seen. Your camera caught it very well! what camera is it?

[@jjsproull]

Was an adlib clip my mate caught on his digital camera while at work.... no time for tripods!!

[@TravvyG]

One of those Storms cells went over where I live 4 hours inland from Brisbane it didn't do much damage it just nock the power our for 7 hours or so but it just about trast the twin town 8kms away and the winds where very strong and clouds where very low it was awesome but I felt sorry for whoevers trampaleen that was wrapped around a Pole

[@jjsproull]

We've never seen anything like this before either.... 3rd severe storm in 5 days.

[@casperblackcat1975]

We get lightning like that & I'm in the Mallee region of Victoria.

[@volcano83]

that is ridiculous lightning!

[@daffodilsfield]

is that normaalll??

[@Ozzieyy]

sooo awesome

[@jjsproull]

there wasn't too much but you couldn't hear it well either... this is taken about 5-6km's from where it was happening

[@GreenFantasia]

i can't believe this is real.. did you speed it up? is that what a storm usually looks like in brisbane?

[@jjsproull]

i did see it after you pointed it out...

[@jjsproull]

no speeding up here.... my mate took this i was actually in the city/valley of brisbane where is was hitting us pretty hard. I've never seen anything like it and we can get pretty full on here

[@jjsproull]

these were pretty freak storms, but with the way things are going here, we'll prob have more

[@thomas697]

2.30 = Beauty

[@cosi66]

wow really amazing

[@jjsproull]

definitely not.... listen to the audio. I've lived in Brisbane 28 years and never seen anything as violent as these three storms cells merging. Storms get pretty full on here, but not usually as bad as this. the storm on the Sunday before this almost wiped out a suburb here.

[@ulti5343]

Travelling lightning beutiful

[@TonyEtna1987]

WoW ! Quanti fulmini.

[@jjsproull]

just a regular digi camera at the spur of the moment!

[@jjsproull]

the video is not sped up - you can see the cars going by at normal speed, this really happened!

[@mohammedkhaled4764]

واو لم تتوقف ابدا انا ماعمري شفت شي كهذا سبحان الله! !

[@KineticalKreations]

Like WWIII happening in the clouds.

[@poelingoer]

anyone else notice the crazy face?

[@GreenFantasia]

the audio is no proof at all, one could can easily add any audio to any movie.. + the audio is what confuses me most. i hear no thunder at all.. just some wind and sizzling noise that doesn't sound like thunder at all..

[@jjsproull]

Just a regular digi camera - nothing special! Can't even remember the brand off the top of my head :)

[@jjsproull]

trust me, it ain't a fake!!! It was very real at the time.

[@ZenithAstrology]

This is Geo Engineered, thats why the un natural light rhythm and silence.

[@poelingoer]

[@ananiasacts]

Let's not give god acid again.

[@maltub]
