Epic Lightning Storm over Blackpool ⚡️🎢⛈️

[@dianemckill5708]

Fantastic lightning ⚡ shots Stephen keep up the good work but be careful. Beautiful sky when it lit up.

[@andymullaney1594]

Supurb, thanks for your support, Diane 🤗🙏

[@stephenmcculley7]

I think the storm was over St Helens last night around 1030 as there was lightning with very loud rumble of thunder virtually simultaneously.

[@Cockermadman]

Your enthusiasm is infectious , brilliant

[@andymullaney1594]

Totally agree 🤗

[@markwalsh8700]

Great lighting show ..I'm in Wales ..all we got was sun and rain ..enjoy your walk on the wild side .keep it up I love Blackpool ...it's 21.50 at night ...so keeping up ...

Jesus! Ain’t seen lightning like that since I was on holiday in Florida some years ago now, and that was bloody hurricane coming in!

[@susanna.heywood182]

Brilliant video. Loved the lightning x

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Sorry I forgot to put it in. In description now

[@chuckbradley1]

Blackpool illuminations

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes!

[@davidnm21]

Epic shots there Stephen your patience paid good dividends and hopefully a calendar picture for 2024. Yes I remember The Incredible Hulk back in the early 80s I think it was. Bill Bixby or something don’t know if he’s still alive but yes he used to say something on the lines of “Don’t make me angry; you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry”!

[@DottyGran247]

Epic is right, lightening without thunder for a good 20 minutes and then the thunder and rain came where I live in Wigan and lots of it too. Some cracking photo opportunities, hope you caught more than a few 😊

[@tommyaindow6840]

Absolutely brilliant Stephen, I hope your dedication and patience wins you another award 👏

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Tommy

[@andymullaney1594]

Totally agree ❤️ amazing x

Omg. What a show. Thank u for sharing. Epic 👍👍👍👍💙

[@theukstormchaser]

absolutely Fantastic video!! i love how excited you got when the lightning lit up the sky. the pictures of the lightning are amazing.

[@liverpoolk648]

Hi Stephen...Liverpool Kev...Absolutely great video...I saw this lightning storm live so to speak in Southport last night so very interesting to watch you capture on film...really special shots...I am a keen but very amateur photographer....once again thank you for sharing this when frankly you could be in bed /cocoa or pub /beer...take care as usual....

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Liverpool Kev

[@nicolawright3359]

The suspense of whether your camera had taken the shot each time and your enthusiasm and excitement throughout made this video an amusing, brilliant watch. The last shot is definitely outstanding! Well done!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Nicola

[@therange4033]

I LOVE a good thunder storm!

[@moonagedaydream4489]

Well, that was some night last night. You went through just about every emotion possible Stephen 🤣🤣 I know you are very happy that you went out, it was well worth your while. Very entertaining video and some absolutely stunning photography. A prize winning shot me thinks.. xxx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Moonage xx

[@SabcatPrinting]

Great Stuff! I’d like to catch seeing a storm at Blackpool now I live up Northwest… i just dont see the sea enough.

[@andymullaney1594]

Love storm photos, amazing 👍

[@mikkdc]

That last picture! WOW! The promenade lit up extending into the distance, with the Big One in the foreground and you can even see the "sheets" of rain in the middle clouds lit up, with the lightning in the background. Simply stunning photograph!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 🙏

That was awesome , London had a bit of Thunder & Lightening today & some places had hale stones as well

[@Swimmingforlife.]

Absolutely fantastic video Stephen, it’s just a pity it was daylight here when we had it about 6.40pm. As I said earlier on, really loud crashes of thunder then I watched my garden wash down the road, flash flooding. Once again, fantastic video. Kind regards, Johnny

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Johnny.

[@anthonygoodwin7083]

Nice Footage Mate . Love a Good Storm. Glad you was able to capture it. Any hint of thunder round here, and my 48 year old wife is hiding under the duvet lol - shes got a phobia about it hahaa.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Haha 😂

[@mikecaine3643]

That was brilliant - in an ideal world 2 identical cameras set up with the same exposure,speed and lens but timed 10 seconds apart would be handy but you need deep pockets for that ! What about a cheaper camera set up as a fail safe - would that work . Brilliant job and some great tips - Thank you Stephen.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Mike. I couldn’t find the cable to lock the shutter down. It would have made things much easier.

awesome captures regardless! however, I broke my own vow of not swearing online by swearing during a livestream here this afternoon when I wrongly assumed that the weather had done 🤣 did not have much in the way of lightning. but damn, the last thunderclap forced an f bomb out of me.🤣

new rule in play: it isn't over until it's over. and it's not going to be over until that point.
