Late Night Thunderstorms with Intense Lightning 2023 (9/19/2023)

Best lightning strikes:
31:12 - CG bead lightning

1:02:40 - another CG bead lightning

These storms occurred during the early morning hours of September 19, 2023, in Norman, Oklahoma. The first cell produced frequent intracloud lightning and small hail. Behind the heavy rain came some very close cloud-to-ground strikes. Maybe not ideal if you're dozing off!
The footage skips a few minutes here and there where nothing was going on and switches between a west-facing and east-facing camera for the best bolts. Unfortunately, overexposure and rolling shutter made these bolts not so clear.

Those snaps when the lightning strikes close, are interesting. I've noticed the same thing on some of the close strikes I've managed to capture. And nice video 👍 I'm hoping to get similar content this summer 🤞

Norman, OK - you are ground zero for the meanest weather in America. Also home to the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.

59:05 WOW. Ya know it’s gonna be intense when the electromagnetism of the strike affects the camera before you hear the boom.

Awesome capture and editing!

[@specialk2183]

Awesome storm ❤ next time would you add some ASMR by throwing a tarp or an umbrella nearby for the exaggeration of the rain. I just love it. Thank you. I shall sleep well to this many nights to come.

I swear I saw a tornado go by us in the front. . ..

59:05 or 1:08:38 when power gets knocked out might the transformers get exploded/crashed might stroke the electric cables. The lightning bolt hit the transformer and crashed right there at the power line and sounded like bomb

[@r.hubertmath4414]

Fireflies in the tree or relfecting raindrops?

[@mykahmeizis403]

I think fireflies only come out when there's no rain. So it's probably just reflecting water droplets.
