Monster Lightning Storm over Austin Texas - March 16th

This really unique lightning storm rolled over Austin Texas tonight, the sustained rolling of thunder isn't something I've heard before. Glad I got a few minutes of lightning arcs on film before the rain hit.

Your very fortunate to live where you get proper electrical storms Over here in England our so called thunderstorms are very lame nice footage

Thanks for watching!

Nothing like a SW TX thunderstorm... The rainless lightning storms we get here in #Brackettville are just magical. I love relaxing on the porch around my firepit sipping my whiskey watching these storms for hours. Life here is like nowhere else. ❤❤🤠🤠 I love your gardening channel, keep it up!! I garden in the same growing zone, but have issues with SO MANY deer in my area that I put large tall cages around my fruit trees. I just love the deer that I hand feed, a few have gotten to know me and my cats. They absolutely love sliced apples and potatoes, and of course, the deer corn that I feed all of them twice a day. I have a water trough filled during the summer for them too. They definitely needed it last year because of the little rain we received in the ponds and streams we have in my local area. Have you thought about a drip irrigation system? I added 1 a few years ago, and I love not having to water everything by hand on my half acre. Just an idea. Tired of the constant problem with the mesquite tho. Don't EVER walk-around in thin soled shoes. Those thorns are a nightmare. God bless! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤠🤠✌

Thanks for leaving a comment! When I grew up in the south Austin suburbs we used to get deer walking around our suburbs and hiding in the mesquite thickets all the time. My parents old neighborhood was once surrounded by cattle ranches, you would hear the coyotes and see the wildlife at night. That part of south Austin is full of sports bars now, and homes have gone up 7x in value since I was 15. The property tax for a home in my parents neighborhood is 25,000 a year, it’s wild how quickly Austin Texas turned into New Los Angeles. We like living in Manor, and we love Texas, but it’s bittersweet seeing Austin change into something almost unrecognizable God bless you too✝️🙏🏾

“Probably shouldn’t be out here” *activates dad storm-watcher stance😊*

[@CRWottrich]

On another note, you put that on a loop and I could listen to it for hours. That low rumble is mesmerizing to me

[@StillOnTrack]

It's funny watching this while seeing the lighting still periodically flashing outside my office window. I freshly potted a new Improved Myer Lemon tree this morning. Didn't expect I'd need to pull it up against my back door for shelter from the wind the same day I potted it.

The storm took me by surprise too, I knew a cold front was coming, but I had to bring my pineapples back into the garage

[@lauramaura3052]

It was beautiful and at the beginning of the storms in Cedar Park the color of the lightning was unusual. I'm hoping someone caught it on film too. Thanks for the video!

[@AustinTexasGardening]

Thanks for watching!

[@carlosgonzales3550]

Nice video buddy me and my buddies saw that last night in seguin texas kool light show we though world was ending 😅

[@AustinTexasGardening]

Thanks for watching!

It's a severe lightning storm the sound cancels itself out

[@StormChaserMaci.]

Not just a lightning storm. This was a supercell that came inches from dropping a nado that night over Round Rock Tx.

[@TWGStorms]

Absolutely mesmerizing

Thanks for watching!

This was a Super Thunderstorm

[@SlackerU]

As a child I lived near Kountze & multiple times I saw ball-lighting. I assume the unique ball-of-lightning was caused by the industrial air pollution in that town that could deform a fetus. Once I saw one travel down the street at walking-speed until it jumped onto the power line where it began a running-speed down the power line & sparking every pole it passed.

[@AustinTexasGardening]

That’s crazy! I’ve seen ball lightning out in the West Texas desert near Big Bend in in Marfa Texas, but it wasn’t loud, there wasn’t a rumbling noise, and it was really far off.

[@user-qg1vc1fs8l]

Uter bewilderment no thunder

[@AustinTexasGardening]

We get really strange weather here in Texas

[@StormChaserMaci.]

This wasn't an ordinary storm. This one was a supercell. Supercells are known to literally & constantly throw lightning like this. I know it was one because I was there chasing that one.

[@AustinTexasGardening]

Ah very cool, thanks for the info, glad I had the chance to capture it!

[@StormChaserMaci.]

@@AustinTexasGardening You are lucky to have seen such a powerful storm from a safe position. March 16th supercell did some damage to Austin & was inches from dropping a tornado but never did. I'm San Antonio's advanced SKYWARN storm chaser, & often get called out that way by the National Weather Service when a major storm does show up. Usually though, I'm already there well in advance by the time they reach out.

[@Angela-bc2ul]

Very, very cool 😎

[@AustinTexasGardening]

I thought so too, glad the storm didn’t cause too much destruction

[@Angela-bc2ul]

@Austin Texas we get lightning like this all summer long. It only rains about 30 % of the time. Otherwise it is just windy, you can watch a storm rolling by for hours.
