[@JordanCantelo]

Magnificent! So stoked to have been involved in this, and being able to highlight my families amazing support behind it as well :)

[@jpdprophotography6693]

Well done legend this is so cool mate 👌.

[@sharppointy1]

Jordan, it was exciting to see your photos and videos. You have a wonderful eye for the good shot, and I was mesmerized . Thank you.

[@danielmargrie]

wow

[@danielmargrie]

wow

[@stormfrenzy]

Thanks Jordan for sharing part of your passion. This was amazing to watch and learn about the process needed to capture the perfect shot!

[@MrBully61]

Stunning, stunning & stunning!!! Thank goodness Australia has such talented people contributing to our priceless ABC 👍

[@Terinjim]

What a fantastic story. That is one of my greatest passions. Excellent pictures and scenery. My heart goes out to the lady who's daughter is stricken with brain chemistry disorder, I myself have daughter with brain chemical deficiency and its extremely difficult to manage, but manage some how. She's correct that it makes you a better person in many ways. Lots of love from the north eastern u.s.

[@anniemorris5855]

This is just beautiful. What an awesome piece of art. I cannot begin to describe the impact this had on me. Thanks to all the participants. Kylie, you are an absolute hero as a human being and Mum. Much love to you. I wish you all good bolts and stay safe.

[@LynHannan]

So awesome, I'm speechless. Awesome people getting exhilaratingly close to nature at it's most magnificent. And they call it "Living in the moment". WOW!

[@felixneuweiler7043]

Love it! Great work Chris & Tyne!

[@terrymcclelland2610]

I personally liked the informative voice over at the beginning. A tasteful insight into the background of the Bolt chasers pleasingly grounded these adventurers. You nailed it.

[@whiterock1865]

What a beautiful documentary and bless Kylie's heart, I couldn't imagine, but sounds like she found what she needs to keep on keeping on!

[@RobertHoward-k8r]

The build up in the north is a real beauty of nature

[@markhyde1970]

Watching from Cornwall UK , love Australia! Jelous. Visited your awesome country twice , feel homesick watching this

[@ONegativeTarot]

Omg this has me selling up! I’m so terrified of lightening and a storm is expected tonight but my phobia is so strong I am already terrified! But watching this has really shown me how my fears are preventing me from living. And I want to see a storm now! Amazing stories from all these bolt chasers! So nice seeing the child at the end get excited too and what amazing strength the mum has, all so fearless, love it ❤

[@karend6987]

That was a beautiful perspective from different people. I thoroughly enjoyed that, especially the strength the last lady had, especially with her autistic daughter. Xo

[@jpdprophotography6693]

Absolutely brilliant work 👏 I have had the pleasure of chatting with both Kylie and Jordan on multiple occasions and they are true blue legends. Well done to all involved.

[@wheresshelly]

This was beautifully produced! As someone who has followed these chasers for a while, it was great to get to know them a bit better and see their behind-the-scenes action. Can't wait for the next storm!

[@heatherstub]

What a superb documentary! I also love the accompanying music. Each one of these storm chasers are remarkable human beings who follow their dreams to get to see those bolts up close and personally. I love it when people do what they love to do, because I realize how happy they are! That's why Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel does what he does, and his father inspired him to do what he loves doing. I wish I'd had that type of support growing up, but I do now. I truly believe I wouldn't be here today if I wasn't doing what I love to do so much, and that's singing. Thank God for Pat Metheny, who himself may not sing, but what a musician and amazing human being!

[@chase_with_jase]

That was a beautiful film and truly showcases why there are so many of us who feel right at home amongst a storm. I have always been fascinated by storms and weather in general, sadly I was too crap at school to be a meteorologist. So I make do by going after storms in Eastern NSW and also plan on going to the USA to chase the supercell storms they have! Photography has always been a passion of mine and I can combine both to make a very satisfying hobby.

[@krisdevlin1582]

I can totally relate to my fellow chasers in this story

[@ExtremAtmosfera_BrunoGoncalves]

Awesome film! It represents exactly my feelings! Congrats for this great work!

[@abcaustralia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@imadsaddik]

Thank you for sharing this magnificent documentary with us.

[@dieterkoch8414]

Such a great presentation. Would love to go up there one wet season and see it!

[@welovelouella1718]

Fantastic! I had more than a few goosebumps moments. Kylie, can fully understand your passion to get out there in amongst it. Incredible images and footage every one and thanks ABC ⚡️⛈🌩

[@MrVal367]

Great watch, have followed Jordan and Kylie's work for ages but now I'll have to watch out for Dan as well :)

[@TheHellfiremissile]

Truely electrifying

[@Antechynus]

This is the sort of program the ABC should be making... no agendas, no endless womens issues, just a good entertaining show.

[@easterguts]

Phenomenal camera work by all involved. Well put together too. Your our ABC!

[@stevegeytenbeek5633]

Absolutely stunning! Reminds me I need to get back to the NT!

[@mikekafoa4689]

Stunning work. Best thing I've watched in some time

[@merv190]

Excellent work Jordan.

[@stepheng4500]

Love it. Excelent work on the timelapse. One question. ABC stamp at the end says 2002? Would love to have seen this earlier. 🤔

[@abcaustralia]

That’s a typo. It’s meant to be 2022.

[@samgengland]

I saw that too. Main reason I'm now reading the comments 😃

[@obsidianwing]

noticed the same , regarding the High image quality an drone flights

[@dan30681]

Beautifully put together 👌

[@deanross3746]

[@beanie168]

Amazing. Love this.

[@lusoskies]

Beautiful!!

[@donny1boykie]

So Good. Brilliantly done. See you out there Kylie, Jords and Dan.

[@geonerd]

A wonderful segment!

[@ClintHalliday]

That was fantastic! A great insight into humans and nature!

[@carloscarrasco1702]

IN VENEZUELA we have something similar !!!!!

[@Metragnome_Images]

Brilliant

[@malikkhalid6787]

Very nice jee

[@jackspratt1]

Fabulous vid - but was it really produced in 2002 (see right at the end of credits)?

[@abcaustralia]

That’s a typo. It should be 2022.

[@heatherstub]

Also, please do credit all the music in this documentary, because I'd love to know who performs what. I especially love this song at the end of this program. The singer sounds familiar. Thank you so much.

[@georgeathanasiou1878]

I agree With Jordan 100% !!! I can look at clouds build All Day! I want to see And know why & how does any of this happen! Lightning? Tornado? Supercell? Hurricane!!! Ect …. Love weather documentaries as much!!

[@sabrinaaubret2732]

Magnifique vidéo 👏! Éclairs somptueux surtout les ramifiés 😍! Je suis fan des orages mais ils me font peur 😅! Je n'ai ni la santé, ni l'argent et ni le matériel pour les chasser mais j'aimerais vraiment en voir au moins 1 qui puisse me subjuguer 😮! Pas comme ceux qu'il y a vers chez moi 🤨! Merci encore pour la vidéo 👍! A+ 💞

[@georgiacosplay5530]

It made me miss the Pilbara!

[@heatherstub]

Booooo. Haha. Sorry about that!

[@LureThosePixels]

People complaining about the voiceover, maybe kids are the ones watching this? No harm in more education

[@STORMYSKYSSEQLD]

What about doing SEQLD chasers,

[@anitapeura3517]

Great visuals, but why all those "+" signs over those magnificent skyscapes? If it's Nature that's the focus, why apply some human graphic over the top? Only detracts from what is meant to be seen.

[@danielmargrie3084]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@katharinecarmichael7759]

I am a Nature Photographer. In many ways. Lightning as well. Been doing it for over 20 years. & I love it! I truthfully, Love Storm's then Clear Days. I believe in a lot of Clear days, are quite boring. Yet with Storm's. There is no way to Explain. Its beyond amazing! I deeply love it! I have gotten thousands of pics! Just of Lightning 🌩 .. Yet can't wait to get more. I have gotten My favorite Volcano hit, 7 times. One bolt. & even more. Got it on video too. I have gotten so many pics & Videos. & I deeply love Nature. & I will keep doing it too

[@vaughanellis7866]

Not the best voice over at the beginning, sounds like my junior school teacher! Jordan is lucky he has a wife that understands him and he gives her pins of where he is. I can understand how these guys feel Lightning is rare in my part of the UK, but when it happens in summer, its a free show that you have to sit down with a tinnie and watch.

[@blast4music]

yea her voice sucks , great she is into it and presents weather etc but leave voice overs for the experts to add dramatic effect , not corny aweful aussie school teacher babble

[@-Awareness]

I admire his dedication… but a tent or swag isn’t that expensive lol…

[@steve2me414]

Doctor Who

[@bensonwallace1296]

Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.

[@blast4music]

weather presenters great etc but leave the voice overs for a pro to add dramatic effect ... that sounded like a Kindy teacher with the ole aussie corny spiels at the start ... really it such a waste ..so much work had gone into this ... bloody awesome work otherwise

[@johnmacsyd]

My grandkids loved it

[@bushman9290]

I have to agree about the voice over, unfortunately, which spoils an otherwise sensational presentation. Buckets of admiration for the Bolt Chasers, especially Kylie Gee.
