[@johnbeeston2473]

Brilliant lightening on this

[@Sr19769p]

Thought The Illuminations in Blackpool were on in October, not mid-June 😂. Can't beat a good thunderstorm. Had a cracking one here in Kilburn, Derbyshire, the other night. You could also hear Metallica playing at the Download festival - awesome. Top footage, pal 👍.

[@zoeschofield]

Great footage of the storm! Enjoyed watching it, thank you!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@racheljohnson9687]

Captivating footage well done, stay safe and well mate.

[@davidbeaumont683]

Omg truly amazing I'm so inspired by your work

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thank you so much 😀

[@frothe42]

I dislike thunderstorms intensely, especially lightning! Those walking or riding are risking their lives! I'm afraid of being killed, and some people have! Always seek shelter, and be safe!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I was very surprised at the altitude of a lot of people who seemed to not take much notice of the storm.

[@holymoly6829]

Just been reading some comments Stephen You must be feeling very good Some fabulous support for your channel Good luck for the 50k btw Keep it up mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 🙏

[@markmoore2625]

Great lightning footage you caught there! We had storms here in Brum, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Sundays storm was a real humdinger with really eerie looking clouds, but unlike you I'm not brave enough to capture it on film. Great work mate.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 🙏

[@jackymitchell8487]

Very dramatic Stephen. Maybe a pic there for your Christmas calendar 😉. Hope you got home safely.👍

[@ladytron1724]

Brilliant.When I was a child my granny told me the noise of thunder was god getting some coal out of the cellar 😂🌩

[@ladytron1724]

@Holly Thomas It does🌩😃

[@jonathannicolson194]

Watch the boy on the bicycle on disappeared on the colanades on this video 3 30 minutes mark😮

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Spooky 👻

[@belong53]

Is this what hit the Highfield Pub

[@AC-LING666]

You guys are lucky stephen , we havent had no rain here in London yet

[@Michellemybell53]

How did the person on the bike, dissappear, at 3.56? 😱Did you catch a ghost?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I just clipped that bit & used a fade transition.

[@bradleybulmer76]

When was that?

[@squizza28]

No way did those lightning strikes last that long. The camera's been slowed down. Nice effects though.

[@russ7151]

I was going to blackpool but I won't with there been thunderstorms I was supposed to be going on Saturday

[@russ7151]

Hi Stephen I'm in Blackpool today attempting to film

[@andrewpaton9598]

Absolutely awesome. Love a good thunderstorm. The photos you've taken are really great. Keep up the good work Stephen 👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Andrew 👍

[@janobyrne2424]

Looks just beautiful, love the blends of greys against the tower, like a good thunderstorm mother nature at her best! Thank you Stephen.👍😊😊

[@mildredschulz]

Great video Stephen the way you filmed the lightning. The sky black like in the night. It sounds nice listening to the rain. May get some thunder here in Berlin on Thursday or Friday. Very dry here and Forrest fires not far away from Berlin. Take care of yourself and be careful in this weather. There’s never a dull moment in Blackpool. ❤❤❤

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Mildred.

[@georgesmellie8717]

[@daveellis5100]

[@Silverlady57-h2d]

Awesome .. love a good storm especially when I’m tucked up in bed ..where I live there is open land at the back of my garden .the lightening over there is spectacular ..mind you it did strike a tree one time and ignited it 😱..thanks for the video ❤

[@Christine-xq9ep]

So much drama! It's all going on in Blackpool! It's just boring and far too hot herem that rain sounds so refreshing xx

[@jennybates]

Awesome video. At one point the thunder sounded like an aerial dogfight.

[@Saxtoo]

And you sat out in this storm, to capture Hammer House of Blackpud. That's dedication 👏

[@joymaxfield7589]

Wow Stephen what a spectacular sight 👍👍thank you for this ,but stay safe.🌧️🌧️

[@xxqq5719]

3:46 lad on bike says you're the #1 vlogger. Very interesting patterns made by the lightning.

[@briansmyth4633]

Amazing video Steve, well done 😊

[@mickd6942]

Sunny Disposable rain capes £1.00 Storm Disposable rain capes £5.00 While everyone's running for cover shop owners are busy changing prices lol

[@sheilakearney4635]

I love a good thunderstorm, only got a couple of claps of thunder here in Stevenage 🙄🥵

[@theroch2805]

Great footage of the lightning Stephen. Did you have to use a special lens to capture it ?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Not really, but I used a dslr with a rain cover. I also specifically chose a slow shutter speed for the video, to help capture strikes within a single frame.

[@Bessie66]

Desperate for rain on Nottinghamshire - send some back over please! 😂

[@anthonyhalliday7695]

im amazed the tower didnt 'get hit' by the lightening tbh! but good job stephen ;)

[@waynepaxford7263]

A awesome video of the thunder storm oxford had on Sunday and Monday I do love a great thunder storm

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

So do I Wayne

[@Bessie66]

The police passed too early to catch the motorcyclist and passenger with no helmet?

[@maxinemcgrath1756]

Amazing Stephen..awesome 💙👌👍

[@petelaycock2842]

Powerful stuff! Terrible about the house that got hit up the road. Cheers.

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello Steve how are you good vidio of the thunderstorms from last night looks really bad so much lightings and rain the heavens opened here but not like there in Blackpool magic best regards and wishes to you take care stay safe xx ❤

[@robertacollins1590]

Brilliant video Stephen i love a good thunderstorm x

[@peterjames2004]

sounds like weston super mare only not enough sireens

[@TheConsettonian1987]

I wish I could’ve been in Blackpool to see that thunderstorm mate as it’s quite hot and sunny here in County Durham at the moment.

[@johnlishman4946]

fantastic Stephen that's was great 10/10

[@robertinman7683]

Bet the atmosphere was electric down on the prom

[@imogenharrison3432]

Great idea. Lets go for a ride along the front on a moped without a helmet. Hang on, there a guy over there with a camera and 44,000 followers on 'KZbin' Let the world know we are a pair of nuggets. You couldn't make it up could you.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

😂😂😂

[@willjohnson1980]

It looks like it hit near the comedy carpet 😬

[@juliepownall1063]

That was epic Stephen great footage love a good storm 👍

[@cobbyone]

Only until lightning damages your home or property like what happened to me last night.

[@justincarter5167]

Great video but I Just love the way people are walking/cycling around like nothing is happening, lol. I was always taught since a kid when you see lightning, hit the deck and get under proper cover, like underpass or those pavilion seating things.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yeah I was surprised by that too!

[@shm1270]

Just brilliant, as always, Stephen🤩

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Sheila.

[@jammyjolly1401]

Darkest sky ive seen this year.

[@dianeshepherd7913]

[@jimbo7417]

Awesome footage stephen wow amazing 😮

[@brewsterkits]

[@janbarker4201]

[@sarahillingworth2718]

More storms, bloody hell lol

[@JulieJackson-gw2vh]

[@mikecooper5604]

lots more to come to

[@tygerbong4206]

would lightning effect the trams in anyway

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Could hit the cables.

[@edwardharrington678]

Amazing and all that torrential rain.

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

Rain or shine or thunderstorms Stephen is always there to bring us the best videos on KZbin in Blackpool. I was seconds away from getting caught in the rain on my SurRon…. I’m so glad I got home because I definitely didn’t want that to get wet.

[@patparry389]

Great vid Stephen was bad here in Liverpool too.👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Pat

[@number6ix929]

I can appreciate how long you must have to wait to capture these fantastic lightning bolts, thanks for the video!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks. I do put myself out there for these storms.

[@jim-md6ej]

Great video of the storm Stephen, anyone notice the ghost cyclist at around 3.34.. Left hand side.. 👻

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

👻

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Maybe he got raptured!

[@craigbrogden1734]

I wonder if the mirror ball got struck

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I saw some images of strikes that way.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Oh my goodness ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@loveisgravitybetweensouls111]

Wow.

[@kkrispy2009P]

Amazing footage

[@susanbrown4710]

Great video thanks again Stephen

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it Susan

[@mikkdc]

Wow! Just WOW!

[@andymarsh22]

Brilliant video keep up the good and amazing work that you do. If I’m in Blackpool and bump into you I’ll be more than happy to have a coffee with you. Imagine what it would have been like from the top of the tower

[@davidscott7751]

Absolutely Epic Stephen....was there last week looks like I picked the right week. 😊

[@jennybates]

That storm caused me, along with a few others, to hit the "nuke button" regarding the leaking sewage pipes at Fleetwood.

[@bredaquirke7362]

Great shots of the lightning Stephen. Got absolutely soaked on the way home from a lovely evening in Bispham xxx

[@HeritageTrainVideos]

Some cool lightning 🌩 bolts. Blackpool thunderstorms can get pretty bad.

[@nigel1964]

Brilliant shots Stephen. I think a re-edit is needed as you need to have the police car straight after the bike to get yourself in the national news 😅
