Deaf Man's ASL Storytelling, "Lightning Bolt"

[@lawsco113]

Learning ASL; even though I was only able to pick out individual words this was a great benefit to my learning! Please keep doing these! Thank you!

When I first went to deaf camp, I fell madly in love with a girl who signs very much like this, and would often just stand or sit there in awe of her, simply watching her sign, while my heart swelled with affection. But at first I couldn’t understand what made her so fascinating. At that same camp, I had my first couple of chances to tell an interesting story myself, and the excitement was quite salient. Then I realized it was because of her ability to tell stories in such a big, dramatic way. For me, watching her sign is like staring at an orchestra of diamonds. The point is, is you sign a story the right way, even people who dont understand a word will still be fascinated. And those who do understand, may be absolutely transfixed.

Thank you Dack! I want to second what a few people have said: these videos are a tremendous help to me while I study ASL. Thanks for doing this! Be well and stay well!

I remember as very little kids my brother and I bike riding through a storm, the lightening came down about 300 feet maybe half the distance to the end of the block. I stayed on my bike but my brother fell. I remember crying so hard and helping him get on his bike, when we came home my mom took care of him hahahaha. He was a good older brother too. It was crazy. I thought we were gonna die. I cant imagine it actually hitting your car. Awesome story! I wonder if that gradual return of color to your eyes from the bright white was a scientific thing behind the extreme exposure of electric energy/light. Keep up the good work 💪

Can someone please explain to me what he is signing ?

[@lianaburless1835]

I'm been learning ASL for the past 7 months. What I do understand that he was with his family and he went for a drive with his brothers. He's explaining how he was sitting inbewteen his brothers it started lightning outside loke crazy. It got really bad and hit the back of the truck which scared them really bad and. But they made it home safe. Im sure im missing a little but that is what get for now. As i said im still pretty new at this but the fact i can even get that much in such a short time surprises me lol. I may have to watch it a few more times lol.

Then he told the story to his friend, who said basically "No way, you're making that up!" "No, its true, my brother was there!" He asked his brother if he remembers it, brother was like "I remember it clearly. It happened"
