just to add that white smoke at 15:40 or so is a house fire I'm thinking that's where the lighting hit not the light pole

This was an incredible thunderstorm! I love how the lightning frequency just kept increasing as the video went on, and with many close strikes throughout! Great work, my friend!

[@stephenrothwell8142]

Simply the best thunderstorm video I have ever seen out of so many. I nearly swallowed my tongue with the close hit.

[@lotsabears]

One of the eeriest storms I ever experienced was just like this. The rumbling of the thunder was endless. Scary as hell. The sky was an ugly green/gray color. I also had straight line winds that were like a tornado and just scared me to death. Did a lot of damage in my town. In your video, it almost sounds like bombs dropping and echoing on forever. Your video is incredible. Thanks for sharing!

[@thelightninghunter23]

The thunder sounds like artillery fire and every flash appeared to consist of only one stroke. This was positive lightning, unlike the more common negative lightning. Strong thunderstorms in the upper Midwest develop complex charge structures which can make storms produce a high amount of positive flashes under their cores.

[@brennandean4821]

How do you expect to be able to count the number of Strokes from lightning strikes on a video you do understand that that's pretty impossible considering the fact that most lightning is faster than the frame rate of most cameras so like what are you talkin about... I mean not to be rude but that's a pretty stupid assumption especially considering the fact that your name is lightning Hunter they just did another video on being able to count the lightning strikes and what they do is they leave the shutter open and it creates a series of flashes that you can count you can't count The Strokes of lightning based upon a video like this it's impossible you're going to miss a lot of information because of exposure and frame rate

[@thelightninghunter23]

@@brennandean4821 The interstroke interval can be very short as you say it is, but in most cases it can be resolved on standard speed video. There is a flash in my channel trailer with an interstroke interval over 300ms-- a camera from the 90s could resolve that. You clearly haven't seen more than a couple lightning videos if you think modern cameras can't reveal the multi stroke nature of lightning flashes.

[@brennandean4821]

@@thelightninghunter23 again you're confused and I don't mean to be disrespectful but even cameras that are modern and high-speed miss multiple flashes even at high frame rates because of how quickly the lightning can discharge multiple Strokes of the same channel. This is been discussed and well-documented especially in recent explanations and discussions of how lightning works. to catch all of the different discharge Strokes a lot of the time the shutter is left open which gives the person filming the ability to count the different Strokes in the same channel please do better research as this is the most up-to-date research that is out there.

MrJim1260 just viewed your storm video, there was some great flashes. Only weeks after viewing this video, we (Northern Ireland) got hit with a pretty rough storm. Enough to knock out the electricity and take a few tree’s down. I’ll search through my old phone if it still works and post it onto my YT account

[@jjMcCartan9686]

@@burkey8677 the best storm I ever seen in northern Ireland, I live in belfast, was in early July 2003 that huge morhership cloud with the wall cloud & dark green hail loaded interior it seemed like ages after the lightning that the rain arrived then stopped the lightning intensified & I've never seen lightning that kinda purple colour before then the hail started took over 2 hours to pass & after I got picked to get to the leisure centre to meet my running friends you could still see lightning coming from the rear of the storm in the distance almost 3 hours after it arrived.I was 29 back then & the only storm that comes near this happened when we had moved to our new house and I remember because I had just turned 8 so they're very rare here .Had a little thunder storm pass over while I was walking at belfast Castle last Wednesday 24/May/22

[@Acuepk]

That constant rumbling sound later in the vid has to be the continuous cloud lightning discharges going on overhead that I don't think a lot of people here noticed. It's the shockwaves from every discharge colliding overhead that causes constant rumbling sound like that.

[@brandonjvl1987]

Awesome video of positive lightning and the thunder it creates. One way you can tell the difference between negative and positive lightning is the sound. Negative is more crackle and rolling where positive is very quick and sounds like an explosion. There are many in the beginning part of video but towards the end it's easy to tell as the thunder is further away but still has the quick thump to it. Very cool video!

[@TommyBowerscoasters]

Very interesting. I'm surprised have never heard that before

[@brandonjvl1987]

Wanted to add to my previous comment on positive lightning. There is a video that not only gives the sound but also shows what positive lightning looks like (the first bolt you see in the video is an example). You can find the video by typing Mankato Minnesota lightning storm or by the name ArchibaldBiteramous (which will make the search much easier).

9:54 if you look very closely, you can see the spark fly off the tree across the street, meaning one of the trees just across the street got struck.

[@forgaven3346]

Stormycat77 yeaa i saw it it looks like a power flash

[@kevinday107]

It was likely a stepped leader which is a visual(bolt) charge of electricity that comes up from the ground buy does not connect to the cloud/main strike that did connect. This happens close to any lightning strike and can come up off any object and sometimes multiple objects. You can actually hear a quick snap during the flash about a half second before the loud thunder if you play it back and listen closely.

dan burks I will say that it picked up audio very well. What you're hearing is called rolling thunder.

[@thomasfogerty3515]

Yes that happens a lot over the Twin Cities area a lot. Because of the confluence of 3 rivers. The storms tend be hit by what is called an atmospheric cap above the rivers and they will literally stop and go backwards. To much updraft of cold air into the storm over the river will also cause that. I live in this area and have seen it tons of times.

[@Acuepk]

T B Storms like in this video would only be common in the later spring through summer up there in Minnesota because of a warmer/humid environment in place. Colder air or fronts usually shut off the instability or energy for these things so they don't happen in the later fall - wintertime up there, like they still can in the southern states.

On another occasion, it struck another building near mine and not only fried all the appliances there but also set fire to the condo on the second floor.
