For licensing please email [e-mail] - footage shot in Tumon Bay, Guam on 24th May 2023

[@trabyelxab8199]

Finally, some great footage of typhoon mawar. I have looked at twenty different channels and haven't seen anything until I got to this channel. Great job filming!!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Oh wow, thanks - much appreciate and cheers for watching!

[@TayTowns15]

I swear. I have family there

[@darrellhoyt7334]

I live here in Tamuning. This typhoon is no joke, walking outside would be takeoff into the air 😂.

[@HurricaneXplorer]

Great footage, thank you!!

[@Papusa29]

Agree 🙋

[@TropmetStormChasing]

Absolutely AWESOME, James! That is a crazy amount of lightning... and so eerie to see it illuminate the dense rainfall! Can't wait to see what the rest of the 2023 season brings. I really need to get out to the WestPac one of these days.

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks so much Michael! I’m annoyed I missed the strike directly overhead with explosion of thunder haha.

[@sostenez]

That is a severe thunderstorm-like typhoon

[@Jushlubwa]

Hope that you and the others will be safe during the typhoon.

[@TurnipTurtle]

Blessing from Malaysia. Hope everything will be fine soon.

[@leovisky]

I was stationed in Guam twice during my career in the Navy as an Aerographer's Mate working on Nimitz Hill for JTWC and gladly can tell you! GUAM is one Tough Island to handle Typhoons! Wish everyone there to be safe! USN RET

[@nuffsaid8706]

🙏 Thank you for your service to my Island Brother 🤙🏽 May the Lord keep you and your Family safe….in Jesus Name! Amen 🙏

[@EarthUncutTV]

That's very cool you were part of JTWC - thanks for your contributions to typhoon forecasting!

[@eileenroth9868]

Wow! Great filming! My youngest girl is in Air Force stationed in Guam. Praying for all!

[@kytele]

lived in guam from 94-96. on our way in the island was still recovering from typhoon omar. when we left we were dealing with another one passing before departing the airport.

[@PamMarn-g2j]

I also lived on Guam, went thru 2 typhoons.

[@earthcomedy]

thanks for the video and commentary on lightning effects!

[@bluevelvetinyourarea]

Nice Footage james! Im meteorologist Devan Roop from New zealand. Love the intercept. Mawar is gonna wreck havoc in taiwan too!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching Devan and appreciate the comment, cheers!

[@richardfrances7679]

My understanding is that in extremely strong hurricanes and typhoons you see a lot more lightning...found that out from video of the hurricane hunters flying into a category 5 and they said that..

[@kathleensue1]

I was in Super Typoon Pamela. It was horrendous. Hours and hours and hours to go over. May 1976.

[@EarthUncutTV]

That was a real nasty one - thanks for sharing your memory of it!

[@kanyenumber1glazer]

omg yes i was looking from a camera on the roof north we were in the eyewall in it was my first time seeing lighting an the eyewall

[@cecilroldan280]

Pray for Guam and all the people. Oh My Lord please please protect them . Amen

[@michaelsachs-gp8qh]

My house was in the direct hit zone just out side of Anderson AFB, it was late at night, sounded like a tornado for about 10 minutes, blew out my ear drums as I hear what was maybe 150mph winds, this is my 4 typhoon and also been in 4 Hurricanes that helped me to prepare and survive MAWAR !

[@mata.m.a1053]

Thank you, know people there. Is it OK to share this video?

[@ryosan446]

I live here Guam and stay in the northern side of yigo. We got hit pretty hard. The thunder and lightning kept going. 🫣

[@SpookaySpctr]

Incredible footage! Destructive but at the same time looks so cool.

[@titanbrew8493]

Just watching is giving me anxiety! We endured hurricane Ian here in Cape Coral FL, directly in the eye wall, 145mph winds at our house, fortunately, we didn't get flooded out. I've been in a quite a few hurricanes and without a doubt Ian was the worst! We're still dealing with the aftermath, so many home's destroyed and the loss of life was horrible. Good luck Guam, stay safe!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Oh wow that sounds like a really intense experience with Ian - hope you catch a break this season

[@robertceliberti7175]

I'm not surprised that there is so much lightning. A storm of this intensity would have lots of thunderstorms. When the remnants of hurricane Ida passed south of Long Island the New York area had very heavy thunderstorms and flooding and intense lightning thunder for hours.

[@sildeevillareal1569]

This reminded me of ST Yolanda, that terrifying gushes of winds that seems like its ripping out our roof and dancing trees. I hope everyone is safe.

[@Mizamook]

Just .. wow. WOW! Superb shots, and truly epic. Makes me wonder what the wildlife does. Love the lightning and the swirling misty stuff!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks so much Gene! The swirly stuff was hypnotic

[@juliusnepos6013]

Just wow

[@Hummingbirdranch]

Used to live there When PAKA came thru it was super typhoon There was no final windspeed as it broke the national weather service Sensors That one was pretty scary Lost power for 30 days in Yigo

[@nuffsaid8706]

Was there also…it was no joke

[@EarthUncutTV]

Paka - one of the Guam’s benchmark typhoons! Must have been wild

[@MrTomcat104]

What explains the high amount of lightning? Often tropical cyclones don't have such high frequency of lightning compared to your average thunderstorm. And weaker tropical storms tend to have more lightning than fully developed typhoons/hurricanes, but Mawar here is a Cat 4 typhoon. I've read that tropical cyclones that do show such high frequency indicates a large change in intensity in the storm, so Mawar could be rapidly intensifying (or weakening) as it moved over Guam?

[@E_l_l_i_e]

What a captivating sight of the lightnings and huge waves. Keep these videos coming if you can but stay safe. Edit: i just noticed that that there were no booming thunders after the lighting strikes. I find it odd. Or maybe the wind drowned out the sound.

[@I.amthatrealJuan]

You often don't hear thunder in tropical cyclones as the wind is too loud.

[@ryansingh8787]

​@@I.amthatrealJuanbut massive lightning activity is there

[@brendaloera8751]

Dont recall exact term but its a different release of energy and noise is altered. Went thru Typhoon Omar on Guam, quite a never to be forgotten experience!

[@E_l_l_i_e]

@@brendaloera8751 is the term you're looking for heat lightning? My area was hit by Cat 5 Super typhoon Goni and I remember the sounds vividly. At times it seemed like an airplane was flying overhead, sometimes it was mostly the wind whistling. The thunders sounded like explosions.

[@Lifeonafarm-e1n]

You capture the intensity of the storm wow ....

[@kattmilk]

Those poor Palm trees are like, "What did I ever do to you, Mawar?" I pray that everyone is safe and made it through well. Prayers from Florida! 🌴 🙏🏿

[@HuracanadoWX]

Great footage and lightning captures, James! How was the backside? It seems like the SE eyewall packed a greater punch.

[@chesterfeild7]

Backside was WAY worse. Winds are finally settling. It was rough and long.

[@HuracanadoWX]

@@chesterfeild7 Thanks for your feedback! Were you in Guam for previous typhoons? I wonder how this storm compared to OMAR (1992)

[@EarthUncutTV]

Jose!! We lost the radar so hard to tell where eye wall was in relation to my exact location. We had solid cat 1 conditions on the beach tho I suspect quite a bit strong further north

[@HuracanadoWX]

@@EarthUncutTV Thanks, James! The tree damage definitely looks in the Cat-4 range in some areas. Pretty impressive.

[@ma.christina]

the wind,the lightning so scary,incridible footage

[@zoluhwa3508]

It was a small tropical storm when it left my home in pohnpei....typhoon is our number one export.

[@AI-hx3fx]

Oh yes, the lightning and rain falling in sheets during typhoons are terrifying. Also horrific when one sees heavy objects fly like cardboard boxes. Makes a person wonder if they will survive those hours when the sky seems to fall down in a grey swirl.

[@Joebert26]

be careful brother we were praying for y'all safely coming from Philippines 😢

[@cs77smith67]

I just was on vacation in Philippines 🇵🇭 4 months ago.

[@darrellhoyt7334]

The lightning adds so much texture to this typhoon😂

[@daryllagapa3223]

Wow! Im in the Philippines this look scary but cool at the same time! I pray that people will be safe that time :(

[@meditatesleepandtravel8795]

In the Philippines, we've seen it many times.

[@virgilioPendon]

Once captivating flash of flashes of lightning and huge waves or strong winds were experienced, convey that areas were under the eyewall of a typhoon or super typhoon. Be alert and stay safe!

[@donaldpfeffer8231]

Wow usually not much lightning in typhoons ?

[@ShesHereForTheMusic]

My daughter said it got intense. Watching this , this is crazy . The weather is insane.

Good thinh odette make land full in the afternoon so we are safe! I believe the miracle of almighty God the Father👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓🙏🙏💓💓💓💓

[@AJafterhourz]

Anyone who thinks this typhoon looks absolutely devastating to the area that it’s affecting (which I am most sure it is) probably has never seen any footage from Hurricane Dorian that hit the Bahamas in 2019. Dorian’s footage will forever scar me unlike any other. I am praying for guam and it’s residents.

[@ladyflibblesworth7282]

if I wasn't married with kids and money wasn't an issue, this is what I would have done with my life....follow bad weather and film it. Here in south wales we don't get much freak weather, every flash of lightning I would fall asleep on the windowsill hoping to see another when I was a kid. Now I just use an old baby monitor to film the clouds going over my house and create time lapses out of them. Not a lot of people watch them, I have over 600 subscribers and only 15-30 people ever watch them...but I like making them :)

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching! Doesn’t matter if you only get a few views if you’re embracing your passion and having fun. Hope you get some interesting weather soon

[@gustlightfall]

Dayum I live in the Philippines, where lightning and thunder are very frequent and I still flinch every time, there even times where the thunder just reverberates without stopping for like an hour, it's like jet flying through the skies and dropping bombs exploding in the distance nonstop. I guess I'm just a pus lol.

Wow, I am from Florida so i am no stranger to hurricanes and tropical storms. Lightning and thunder is not very common when they make landfall as the storms are warm core. Lightning and thunder are usually only found in very strong hurricanes and tropical systems.

[@sbclaridge]

I believe Hurricane Ian had a lot of lightning in its eyewall too. Interestingly enough, Typhoon Mawar was also the first time since Hurricane Ian that the National Weather Service issued an Extreme Wind Warning. Those don't happen too often, because they are only issued for landfalling hurricanes (or typhoons in Guam/CNMI) that are expected to produce sustained winds of 115 mph or greater.

[@phyllisangeliemalazarte7743]

This super typhoon is now heading to the phillipines😢

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Doesn’t an upsurge in lightening indicate a strengthening hurricane?
