These storms occurred on the night of June 17, 2023, in Central Oklahoma a few hours after a strong gust front brought 60 mph wind gusts to the area. Elevated thunderstorms developed behind the boundary, producing copious amounts of lightning. There were two cells that impacted Norman within a 1-hour timeframe, both of which are shown in this video. The first of which produced a few very close strikes out of nowhere, while the second was extremely electric! The footage is continuous and uncut but switches between a west-facing and east-facing camera for the best bolts. Enjoy!

This is a great recording. One of the best thunderstorm videos I've seen on KZbin. I like the static camera and no annoying commentary. Excellent.

[@patrickdumas224]

As a kid I used to be scared of storms. Mostly because of the lightning. Now I find it kinda relaxing.

[@thatelephant]

Same here. As a kid, I locked myself in the bathroom because there were no windows. But now, being an adult, I chase these beauties if they are close to my home.

[@branislavkovac2978]

I like the fresh air when thunderstorm gone.

[@rgerber]

thanks for making real storm recordings and no looping or mixed static (like the millions of rain videos on YT)

[@LotusbandicootRR]

That close strike was so oddly isolated... but as long as there are clouds, lightning can travel through them pretty far. Anyway, this really makes me miss sitting on the porch watching a nighttime storm approach during the summer. I'm craving spring/summer weather but that'll be a little while...

[@s6boystu]

The quality of this is great. I watch / listen to these kind of videos to chill out before sleep. Thanks so much for sharing !

[@WeatherIsFun]

Crazy how there is a click before the lightning strikes at 1:07 That is the best lightning strike I have ever seen on KZbin!

[@YourLocalGirlNamedLucyLoud]

Lol

[@Asterra2]

EMP of course. Same thing that can stop your heart if you're extremely close to the lightning and also extremely unlucky to have it strike at a certain short interval between heartbeats.

[@algodoomarbleracing]

That’s streamers failing to connect to the lightning bolt. If you hear a click before the thunder, you know you’re too close to lightning

[@Asterra2]

@@algodoomarbleracing It's sometimes upward streamers but not in this case. It's a distinct pop you get from the tiny blip of interference in the ADC. Another giveaway is that the pop has absolutely no acoustics, whereas any proper streamer would carry at least a little reverb, being a rather significant electrical discharge. Here's an alarmingly electrical storm that has examples of both. The timestamp of 11 seconds lets you hear a nearby upward streamer, although you may need to turn the volume up / use headphones to catch it. I warn in advance that the actual thunder is loud. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZPOYWimhLxkp5I

@@Asterra2 thanks

[@ivancoley11]

Those are all 100 percent positive lightning strikes in every batch of the anvil 😱

[@WakelessXistance]

Great recording AND an actual thunderstorm video that isn’t full of added/fake sounds on repeat👍

[@EASNEWYORK7641]

I hate lightning storms at night especially when it strikes close. Before on September 19 2023 a massive thunderstorm hit my area and 2 lightning strikes struck so loud that it made me almost go deaf.

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

I like the "quiet" rain. Very relaxing. The close strikes are awesome in the power produced. Don't like tornados the power is mind blowing. I have been within a few miles of hundreds of tornados. I am 58 years old this year. And would be happy to never see one again.

[@LightningEthan]

I love these types of videos and watching all the close bolts, nice video

[@wongedan8609]

I watch this video at bedtime and it's very enjoyable, because it can make me more relaxed and calm. I think it's a really great video.

[@jamesjay8281]

Jason, Great Video. when was this storm? Catch more lightning for me. Apparently, mother nature owes me for the recent storm that decided to go to San Francisco

[@comehitherprods]

Ahhh nicely done! Could your best yet 👍

[@legendaryanderson6761]

I love Thunderstorms they make me just chill and when Its Night Time

[@Michellethompson5231]

I record thunderstorms on my old cell phone & then put them on my ipod touch, it's perfect sleeping weather for me. I occasionally remember to upload my videos to KZbin as well.😊

[@user-wg5km5pz5o]

​@@Michellethompson5231no se como pueden dormir con ese ruido

[@YourLocalGirlNamedLucyLoud]

​@@Michellethompson5231I will record them on Spring and Summer.

[@SupportTheArts-yo8ox]

I get easily startled, so I don't like thunderstorms at night when trying to rest. But they're cool.

[@YourLocalGirlNamedLucyLoud]

@@SupportTheArts-yo8ox I like thunderstorms!!!

[@dennyknappe3655]

This was so freaking insane. Thank you for this video Jason. I loved it so much it's me to watching🤩👍❤

[@MrEvanston]

Excellent footage of thunderstorms...I find it so relaxing and calming during the night. Thanks, Jason!! What part of Oklahoma do you live in? My dad grew up in Alva, Oklahoma!! What kind of camera?

[@JasonChiappaStorms]

Several. In this video just a sony handicam and a Lumix GH5M2 with external mics on both sides of the house synced together. :)

[@WeatherIsFun]

Wow, this was an amazing thunderstorm!!!

[@petersonmachado7377]

Alem dos tornados , Oklahoma ainda sofre com essas tempestades assustadoras .

[@luckyannno]

38:00 scariest bolt ever i will cry once i heard that

[@danielmargrie3084]

loud thunderstorms

[@ianbrasher8306]

Im actually scared of strong thunderstorms

[@Michellethompson5231]

I was so scared of thunderstorms when I was growing up. I love them now but I still get a little scared when the thunderstorms start dropping tornados everywhere.

[@WakelessXistance]

I’ve always loved storms growing up, and still do. But about 20yrs ago I went to my girlfriend’s grandparents house for the weekend outside of San Antonio, TX in the hill country. It was perched on a hill with fantastic views, it was a traditional ranch style house with a metal roof (which is important to remember), but we pretty much had to stay inside the whole time because of the weather. Around 7pm, the storm was getting pretty bad. Lots of heavy rain, some light hail, but lots of lightning and roaring thunder. A few minutes later while a bunch of us were still playing poker on their big living room table, a MASSIVE bright flash came from the air duct just above us (which nearly blinded us), immediately followed by the loudest clap any of us had ever heard (that did cause hearing problems for almost a day). It didn’t matter how old how or how young, big or small, male or female, there was either screaming or cursin, and we all somehow leapt from our seats, but jumped under the table as if a bomb had just exploded inside, lol. The house on top of the hill with an AC unit on top of the metal roof was the tallest metal lightning rod around, so naturally, that bolt of lightning shot through the HVAC system and out the vents. That was the scariest damn thing I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been shot at before, lol. Ever since then, if I see lightning while I’m outside, my @$$ is headed inside and away from any HVAC vents.

[@aubrigutierrez4734]

I'm scared of thunderstorms too they scare me and catch me off guard

[@JasonChiappaStorms]

Currently in Norman finishing my MS in meteorology at OU and looking for jobs, likely in operational forecasting.

That is beautiful footage 💯 I really enjoy it whenever I close my eyes and there's lightning, the mind's eye slightly lights up. Almost feel as if im there looking outside of the window. Very immersive and merging 🫡🫵
