Intense Thunderstorms & Lightning NYC- August 19th, 2011

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@siobhan104 So glad you enjoyed my video! Thanks for watching. Hopefully you get a good storm there soon too!

[@siobhan104]

Great couple of videos Scott. The last minute of this one was superb. Turned the sound right up. Can't remember the last time we had a good thunderstorm over here in South Wales. Nice one.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thanks!! Yeah these storms did last quite a while. A good hour plus I'd say. Dumped about an inch of rain too on my area. Looks like we could see more storms today.

[@Brinah]

such a magnificient sound of rain and thunder! I could sleep to this at night!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@tstormmoulton1 I am always impressed with your memories of these storms from years past! Hopefully we'll get a few more good storms before the cold weather sets in. Looks like tomorrow and Sunday might bring some storms. We'll see. Have a great weekend James

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@WeatherExtreme Thanks!! Glad you liked it

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Brinah Glad to hear the damage there wasn't too severe! Like you we had a little water in the basement but nothing that couldn't be handled.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@RevolutionNo1 It did come out pretty crazy! Love that part too :) Basically one still image equal one frame of video. 30 still images a second taken every two seconds so all that equals one minute of stills compressed into a second of video. 60 seconds of time-lapse was about an hour in real time. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@lovethatcat2 Agree 100%! Thanks so much for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thanks for watching Rosanna!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@BlueOnRS Those were the mid level clouds moving one way, and the lower level clouds moving in another direction. The time-lapse really brought all that out! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@mike82140]

this was an awesome storm, to me this storm was gold especially since i live in queens and queens this year didn't get many thunderstorms, either way awesome video!

[@vitalinawisky929]

That was the worst severe storm that impacted New York City and The Bronx, tons of very close CG strikes and shrilling thunder but no small hail and damaging gusts at all. In Northeast New Jersey, the severe thunderstorm brought reports of wind damages, dumped probably at least golfball sized hail and even prompted flash flooding, including the reports of a CG strike.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@PistolP0et Hope you get some rain too!! So many areas out west are experiencing extreme droughts! Thanks for watching

[@thesmart67]

Absolutely a thunderstorm fan for life. Gotta question for you. A lot of studies on lightning. Why does no one study thunder? I love the dynamics of thunder. I have a ton of thunderstorm recordings (audio). Fascinates me...

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@809380 Thanks for watching! And yes, some of the lightning was hitting pretty close!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Brinah Hey! Well, it turns out we documented Irene from around the Queens/Nassau area. Broad Channel went under water for a time. Will try to post video either later tonight or tomorrow AM. How did you fare?

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@WetPooooopie This storm for us at least was worse than the storm the night before, but no complaints either way! A storm is a storm and we didn't get too many of them here in Queens this year.

[@netabolt6546]

2:18 : nice thunderclap, great video! Thx uploading this.

[@Vienna.Stormspotters]

Excellent job on the video, amazing storm !

[@thesmart67]

Gotta tell you - love your neighborhood too. Any idea when it was built? Something so charming about the area. I miss East Coast...

[@metsfreak4life]

Im sure you are well aware about Hurricane Irene and the potential that it brings to NYC. Do you have any filming plans in regards to this potential hurricane yet?

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@metsfreak4life Oh yes, I'll be out documenting the storm for sure. Will be possibly doing some live phone in's as well with NBC Channel 4 NY. Very busy next few days ahead for sure! Not sure where we'll go just yet, all depends on the exact track of the storm

[@jools461]

brilliant video loved watching it

[@scottso241]

that look like here in the philippines with all that rain and thunder and lighting. nice job

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@WXVideos Thanks Nathan!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@mike82140 Agreed! This was the best storm of the year in my opinion too. Hopefully 2012 will offer up more storms for us!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Ecw4Lyfe Will do! And, we could have some more tomorrow

[@TheKimTwister]

that was a coool storm scott amazing thanks bud

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Brinah Me too!! lol. Looks like an eventful next few days here in NYC

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thanks!!

[@makiavelli999]

Nice one Scott!

[@MadWXChasing]

Awesome, as usual!!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@selimsucram Thanks for watching!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

I guess it's because it's the lightning that is the catalyst for the thunder, and more so, the lightning presents the greatest danger to the public and therefore warrants the massive dollars it takes for these types of studies to be conducted. But yes I love thunder too!! Thanks for watching

[@sharinggon456]

sweet storms :D the one at 1:10 we never had one that lasted that long, how long was that storm? damn that thunder at 2:20 beat the ones in my videos

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@larry2043 Thanks Larry!! Much appreciated!

[@-BuddyGuy]

I got some great long exposure stills that night

[@WetPooooopie]

Who got the 18 inches? sorry about one of my comments a below about the clothes, I just woke up I hope you understand scott, andim depressed, james hates me now prob, b/c on my type hylieglhyics whateva that means

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@The2Coolest2 Nah, don't bother chasing tornadoes here in the northeast. They are next to impossible to nail down, then you tack on the poor visibility, traffic, and the tolls just to get in and out of the city and it's not really worth it. I take the "let em' come to me" approach for the most part lol. My Belmar, NJ chase a few weeks back cost me almost 80 bucks in gas and tolls! Ugh!

[@BlueOnRS]

How did that storm suddenly change its direction @ 1:03 It looked amazing :O

[@WetPooooopie]

which was worse this or previous night 8/18/2011???????????

[@AloMt]

None of those storms hit us...hopefully we'll get some tomorrow.

[@Brinah]

@tornadovideostock not much damage except for a flooded basement; no loss of electricity thank goodness!

[@Brinah]

@tornadovideostock So where will you if Irene shows up?

[@ozthunder]

Two days in a row, that is just greedy !

[@WetPooooopie]

The storm the night before I believe was worse and longer a cluster of them at sunset if I remmeber straight, sme repert friday night

[@809380]

OK, interesting video ,to the end, the flashes are not fare from you

[@Wolverine2sweet]

@tornadovideostock Oh man, tomorrow will be crazy DR Greg Forbes has a tor:con value of 30/10 30% chance its last year all over again but this time it's August.

[@WetPooooopie]

@tstormmoulton1 you know scott and keith

[@rosannalebron7241]

I live in the Bronx OMG I remember this scary shit OMG

[@WetPooooopie]
