[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

is that positive lightning coming from that supercell? i heard positive lightning barrages are a red flag that a tornado might be forming.

[@TheProgamer-jf3rq]

Cool violent storm

[@cactusflwrs]

I oive Clifton Illinois and I believe that was probably one of the worst storms we ever had

[@acgsmith5937]

Nice

The thunder sounds like the microphone is in piece of pipe. The camera and mic should be outside the car.

[@plateshutoverlock]

Running any wires from the passenger compartment to the outside of the car to equipment would break the protective Faraday Cage effect of the metal roofed car and provide a direct path for the bolt to the occupants inside. aka NOT A GOOD IDEA. Unless you are using a fully wireless mic mounted on the outside of the car. One chaser used a Go-Pro mounted on the roof rack of his vehicle to get the full unobstructed sound and video of a lightning barrage (is this what you meant?).

Did it form a funnel?

[@tf3confirmedbuthv54]

most likely yes

[@tf3confirmedbuthv54]

lots of supercells form funnel clouds but most never reach critical rotational velocity to touch down

I once got caught in the same case not too long ago. There were literally only positive lightning and that was falling all around me, I was alone, outside, riding my bike in the middle of a huge grass field. I rushed the hell to my house (luckily I wasn't too far and there wasn't any rain/hail!)

[@simplydifferent7712]

I had the same once somwhere in 1998 or 1999, but i was on the road between all meadows, and some local houses on both sides in the middle, and it start to rain with large hail and between the local houses a CC above my head and a powerful thunder. The tricky part was to ride on my bike under the high power pylons, but in the end i came back home safe. But it was so scary! I hope never again.

2 lightning storms, about a decade apart, and me going almost to the same destination from the the same house. 1984 - Hot summer day, might have been August. My mom, my younger sister, and I went on a walk to our local pharmacy which was about 1 mile away. Some faint rumbling in the distance, some clouds visible on the horizon but otherwise sunny late afternoon. Walk normally takes about 20 minutes. I am going by a 40 year old memory, but what I remember is that the walk was for the most part uneventful, but the thunder was getting louder, and the sky was getting darker as we aporoached the pharmacy. Mom got her medicine, me and my sister were looking at the toys and comic books they had there. I can't remember how long it was, but it wasn't more than 10 or 15 minutes. Time to leave, still some thunder but no rain or wind yet. It wasn't even 5 seconds intil after we exited the door that we were hit by a massive blast of wind, and it whipped up so much dust in the parking lot that it was like being in a sand storm. There wasn't much visible sand or dust when we arrived. The storm cut loose bringing massive amounts of rain and wind and,we were forced to go back inside. Thunder and lightning was wicked, and we were stuck there for about an hour before my dad could drive there and pick us up. 1993 - June. This time around the rumbles were louder/closer and the sky was much darker when I started, but as I now normally walked fast, I thought I could beat the storm and get into the library before the storm cut loose. Big mistake. When the storm cut loose, I was out in the open and a very long block from the library. The rain began to pour, and a long lightning bolt streaked through the sky right above me as I ran for my life. The lightning was constant, and thankfully I made it into the library without harm except being soaking wet. Both the library and the pharmacy were less than a short block from each other.

Great footage. You should check out the one lightning strike I posted. It was so close it was deafening loud.

Stranger things Mothership supercell and mind flayer

[@everettweeks4289]

Negative CG

[@matejsteinhauser3974]

looks an like alien invasion. The alien Mothership supercell destroy the world, amazing what mother Earth I doing with sky. I want visit supercells to, and be swallowed by one of these supercells. But it must not be HP, because HP supercells are ones who product most tornadoes in world. I want to be shallowed by LP or classic supercell and look up the green glowing core of this alien mothership created by mother Earth.
