Most Powerful Forces on Earth: Lightning | Fatal Forecast | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

Lightning. It’s one of nature’s most spectacular and potentially deadly displays. It is unpredictable, powerful, and strikes with unfathomable frequency. While natural disasters such as earthquakes and cyclones may claim more lives annually, the effects of lightning strikes can last a lifetime. While reduced lightning seems like a good way to mitigate its destructive forces, life on Earth would be severely threatened. Without any lightning at all, life would cease to exist. Advances in warning systems and tracking devices are helping scientists save lives, but they still aren’t one hundred percent foolproof. The best course of action still remains to be weather-aware and to head indoors when thunder roars.

My grandpa was struck by lightning twice in his life. He was a rancher in Oklahoma. The first time he was taking a nap under a tree in a pasture and a storm rolled in while he was sleeping. The tree got struck and hit him. The second time a calf got separated from the herd during a storm. He was carrying the calf and he got hit by a side strike that jumped off of the fence he was walking next to. He survived both strikes, obviously, but had memory problems afterwards.

[@eastfrisian_88]

Thunderstorms and lightning are fascinating. I remember a storm in 2008, I woke up one day in early June at 5:20 a.m. with sunshine and heard very intense, but quiet thunder. I was literally stuck to the bed because it was so warm and there was condensation on the frame of the window, as I live in northern Germany in a very flat area, I could see a black wall far in the distance. The air seemed to shimmer and vibrate every time there was thunder in the distance. It was all so bizarre, I had never experienced an early morning thunderstorm at 21c and such high humidity. My mother was in hospital and my father was already at work, I went downstairs and just entered the living room and the cat jumped past me at face height, at the same moment the dog jumped into my arms and half a second later a bolt of lightning cracked with a deafening noise in our garden, less than eight meters away. In bright sunshine. It took another 20 minutes for the thunderstorm to arrive and I've never experienced such an intense storm, it lasted almost two hours. I now live in an area where thunderstorms almost always pass to the north or south, which I think is a bit of a pity.

[@DJSLANKMAN]

That’s crazy, they do say animals have a heightened sense to storms early

I worked on a house that got a side-flash from a tree. It blew wires out of the walls, fried their backup generator, all after jumping from a tree nearby the house, to a gutter downspout, then to the house itself, a sliding door frame nearby, and then into the wires running under it, blew them right out of the floor underneath it. It was WILD

I hiked up Half Dome in Yosemite…the storm came up fast & I headed down the metal cables & it started raining 1/2 way down…the granite was slippery like glass…I went down as fast as I could so I wouldn’t go the fast way down the 3000 ft drop on either side of me & was just at the bottom of the cables when the hair on my arms & head started sticking up & I swear my metal fillings started vibrating…then the lightning struck the top of Half Dome when I had just come off the cables…I got blown onto the ground & 2 hikers w/hiking poles went to the ground as well…I got up after a few minutes when I stopped shaking, vomited a few times & could finally stand up, shakily & couldn’t hear because of the ringing in my ears…I still couldn’t hear & my ears were ringing for the whole 17+ miles back…I ran almost the whole way back from the adrenaline & my ears still ring.

I had my neighbors house get struck by lightning, it went right through the house down the middle of the master bedroom where they were sleeping and were unscathed, and the roof did catch on fire but was put out. I was scared of any thunder for probably 12 years after that and for some reason that fear turned to fascination when I saw ball lighting rising from a cloud while on a plane.

[@erdvilla]

This year we had a lightning so strong that have been decades since the last time I felt one similar. It struck 2.5 seconds away (because that was time the thunder took to arrive) but it was massive. The ground shook for well over 20 seconds, very similar to a 3.5 earthquake, everything vibrated. Not even those that strike in the 1 second perimeter have that energy. I could only imagine how that powerful one would've feel if it hit the lightning rods across the street or at the teather behind my house.

[@stevorules1820]

Do you mean it struck 2.5 miles away because the thunder came 2.5 seconds later? If I'm not mistaken every second equals 1 mile approximately. Regardless that a huge lightning strike. Causing an "earthquake" like behavior.

[@erdvilla]

@@stevorules1820 2.5 seconds, I know it sounds strange to measure distance in time but with lightning is kinda intuitive because you see the flash and count for the thunderclap to arrive. I think it is 1 second = 340 meters.

[@WarmSouthernSmiles]

Because I’m a Floridian, I know this, which I copied from the National Weather Service: “If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the …” You know it’s close when the flash and the thunder is at the same time. I’ve seen lightning hit on 3 occasions and if I close my eyes, I can still see the ball of light and sparks.

[@razorbloodstains1]

And here I was thinking I was crazy because I've also experienced earthquake-like thunder, was so scary, this was 20 years ago now!!!

[@Ominousheat]

WTF are you on about? Lightning does not shake the ground. Abd a strike 2.5 seconds in sound distance away is half a mile away.

[@malectric]

At about 8 minutes, my guess about what happened to the reporter is that a high current was induced in the shaft of his umbrella which travelled through his arm to his feet and the wet concrete he was standing on. I have seen a neon connected between a small whip antenna on my garage roof and ground flash when nearby strikes occurred - and most were cloud-to-cloud. If I ever travel overseas again, Lake Maracaibo is top of my bucket list of places to visit. Speaking of travel, A plane trip I took to America in 2001 (several months before 9/11) gave me a 35,000 foot view of a lightning storm which occurred at night somewhere over the Pacific ocean. I was lucky enough to get a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of a sprite above the distant cloud. A momentary red bubble in the upper atmosphere with a bluish tinge at the bottom; it lasted only a fraction of a second. My window seat paid big dividends.

One time i was trying to demo a panel at a remodel in a commercial strip mall and the door was locked that had the disconnect to turn the power off the panel and it was a 480 volt so i was being careful and had all the branch circuits removed and all the neutrals and grounds and took all the breakers out of the panel to where the only wire remaining was the #4 bare solid from the ground rod system outside. It was landed on a ground bar on the bottom of this can and it was super old they never make them like this anymore and the ground was coming in from the top of the can and it was thunderstorming outside and if you have ever seen a #4 bare solid wire its not exactly the easiest to bend and move around in a tight spot so i had my needle nose pliers on it trying to push down to remove it from the ground bar it was landed in when all the sudden a big explosion just blew up in my face. My hand looked like it was cooked in a pizza oven. All of the hair on my body was standing up and had that static feeling across it and my hand was in so much pain and i couldnt understand what happened i was extremely careful and couldnt remember fn up at any point then we saw other people coming out of the active stores in the strip mall and they said lightning struck right outside the building and their panel had made a huge bang and thats when i realized i got hit by lightning right in my face. Eyebrows still dont dont grow right and my hair has been grey since i was 28 years old.

I had a lot of close calls with lightening growing up here in Colorado and my house has been hit. In 2006, I was fishing at a large reservoir and being a NOAA weather spotter, I went to the car when a storm came in. After the storm passed, I waited 30 minutes before I went back down to my fishing pole. I thought I was in the clear. As soon as I picked my pole up...the last thing I remember was the brightest blue flash and that was all I could see. Along with the loudest sound I have ever heard. I got up and ran to my car, surprised I was not dead. To this day, I don't really have any ill health effects outside of the loss of most of the hearing in my right ear. My doctor said I probably should have died 🙏.

I grew up on a lake in central Fl which is one of the lightning capitals of the world. Twice I was in a car when a sudden storm rolled in that was so severe it was almost impossible to drive. The first time I pulled off the freeway and 10 ft from my car the speed limit sign got struck by lightning… on another occasion I was driving down the road and saw a telephone pole get hit and the transformer exploded and it looked like a massive flash of green plasma. Honestly tho besides the spectacle of it all the sound is by far the most frightening part. All that energy and violence that seemingly erupts out of nowhere. Growing up there seeing lightning strikes was so common that we took it very seriously. Glad I didn’t get fried

[@peterjohan6183]

I was once struck sideways by lightning. I was walking a hand during a storm. I was standing by a tree when lightning struck there. I lay unconscious for half an hour in the pouring rain. The dog had walked home by itself, it was loose. I have had problems with my left arm for six months and I have little feeling in my feet. Other than that I have not had much of an impact, I have been lucky and have an extremely good guardian angel. I still go outside during thunderstorms or storms. I used to walk outside during storms as a child and I will continue to do so. I love it and I'm not afraid either. When there is a storm, you will usually find me in the forest. Well, I'm in the forest every day, it's my second home, but especially during a storm. 😉

[@maxheadrom3088]

6:00 When a lightning strikes the ground we can imagine that a high voltage exists where the lightning struck the ground and the voltage decreases as the distance increases. Imagine that's 40,000V where it strikes and 100 yards away it's 4,000V. That's 3,6KV per yard and if both feet are on the ground and aligned with the center - and considering the feet are one yard away from each other - then the ddp (the voltage difference) between those two feet is 3.6KV. BTW, cattle die a lot more than humans due to lightning and the main reason is the distance between the front and rear hooves. Tip: don't run away from a thunderstorm - take short steps. Don't hide beneath trees because if they are hit they end up exploding because the sap boils.

I've seen lightning melt 10 square feet of cinder block concrete, and I've seen a house that took a direct hit that only caused a electric dishwasher to malfunction only during a certain cycle. And the home had a lightning rod that did its job. I've also seen lightning enter a house through the phone system and where the wires turned down wards into the walls, the electricity exploded out of the phone wires and into the framing of the house and caused a small fire in the attic. Would have been worse, but the homeowner had a butler service and the butler ran up with two fire extinguishers and put it out. Because I have seen warehouses and other homes that burn to the ground from lightning strikes.

About 20 years ago I was heading home from a party at 4 am on a country road. Besides my car it was dead silent outside, I even stopped to watch this storm outside of the car for a while and was astonished by how quiet it actually was. Anyhow I was in a storm of 100% constant lightning. And not just a flash here and then a flash there, it was nearly the entire sky lit up with various lightning constantly. There was so much lightning that at 4 am it looked like daylight outside. You could see everything like the sun was out. This storm was one hell of a storm to watch and it went on for over an hour. But the strangest thing about the whole thing is, even with all that lightning there wasn't a whisper of thunder. So when I say it was dead silent, I mean all the bugs, all the animals, no wind at all, and no thunder. Literal silence. I have never seen a storm like that since but I wish I had a modern cell phone from today back then so I could have recorded it.

The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth... The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees... The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000 YOUSIF A TOBIYA FORCIBLY DISPLACE

The weather from a volcanic eruption is strange, we experienced it Hawaii.

[@diannadima7082]

Are people with a Pacemaker more susceptable lightening strikes?

[@BonnieCassler-dx6sd]

Growing up in Florida, I've seen more than my share of lightning . When my eyes aren't covered,that is.

[@mridulpandey6646]

Have watched this already

[@summerdreams7949]

Love watching thunderstorms but where i live in the uk we barely get any. Always misses us😭

[@Ominousheat]

The UK gets loads. I live in the South East and we get them pretty regularly on a yearly basis. And their frequency is on the rise. A heat dome called the Spanish plume is usually the cause of the big ones.

[@diannadima7082]

My home in Nothern California was struck by lightening it moved my TV and shook my whole house. I don't know if me and my son absorbed any of the strke. My whole house was gi ving off electricla static. After watching this I wonder if my son and and were affected by this stirke.

[@yb2880]

When I was younger and in camp, I was in a cabin with a bunch of friends that was hit by lightning. I definitely felt the static electricity. The lights,which were off at the time, turned on. Then I heard the loudest boom that I have ever heard and the cabin shook. Then the lights turned back off. It was pretty scary. Thank God we were all ok.

[@oClimadeMaceio]

Brazil is the world leader in lightning strikes

[@harrysmbdgs]

I love how the golfers stop because their clubs might get struck, then proceed to slowly walk off the green with umbrellas up! 🤦🏻‍♂

[@nathanmitchell2216]

I am living in a situation similar to your lightning prediction. Believing the strike when it appears will be as great as those recorded in this description.

[@Witchfoot.Incorporated]

it seems to me that youre better off getting directly. i’m 47 years old, when did parents stop telling y’all that the worst places you can go is go under a tree???? ⚡️😵‍💫⚡️ ‘back in the day’ and somebody on the farm got struck by lightning and it stopped their heart and you couldn’t get started again. You drag them up to the garage, find the most powerful outlet on the dryer or freezer and air conditioner and unplugged it, and then cut it off from the appliance. then you plug it back in and you start to shock the person. Isn’t the wattage is so much less it’s usually enough to get their heart to go again while waiting on 911 but they didn’t have 911 My grandpa was a kid.

Whoever told you this story was bull shitting you.

[@whoever6458]

The elastic on your clothing can also lead to burns because it will melt into your skin. This is something they warned us about in the fire department. You also can't wear your glasses if you're going to enter a structure that's on fire because they will also burn you.

[@thomasnativo6491]

I feel bad when people die in a Lightning strike or just scared but im a Lightning survivor

[@thomasnativo6491]

When I'm at home from Beach I stay inside shelter because don't like being in wide open space towards the ocean

[@thomasnativo6491]

Plus I have Anxiety with Thunderstorms

[@thomasnativo6491]

We have Lightning sirens so what it does it's an Alarm to get People's attention to get in shelter and once it goes off after the Thunderstorms are over or Pass ill make the All clear sound

[@thomasnativo6491]

But what's the difference between a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and Severe Thunderstorm Watch Tornado Watch or Scattered Thunderstorms or Isolated Thunderstorms

[@farmer1ab]

As an electrical worker for the last forty years, a lot of things said on this show contradict my knowledge of electricity.

[@EyeoIsis]

"If we had no more lightning, we would die". That statement is never explained.

[@williamyalen6167]

Hi, @Eyeolsis Check out 41:40 - it's b/c of Ozone production.

[@widiaprianto]

Can we store the lightning's energy?
