POSITIVE THUNDER JUMPSCARE! - Increadible Lightning (8/1/22) Sydney Australia

A Huge Squall Line Roughly 350km Long Developed Way Out Near Dubbo 5 Hours Before It Hit Sydney. Around 12:00AM Is When The Lightning Started To Pick Up Suprisingly Over Sydney. The Positive Lightning Strike Is Near The 4 Minute Mark. I've Never Been Jumpscared By Thunder Like That!. One Of My Best Storms On My Channel If Not The Best So Far!.
What A Great Way To Start Off The Year!

Hey that was positive strike with a smooth channel. Great Catch

[@heatherstub]

Amazing audio clarity! Love it. Thanks for the video.

[@insanestorms5176]

If I was in a thunderstorm with just this type of lightning I would be excited

[@teenstormchaser5543]

Those explosive bangs during the thunder, is the thunder breaking the sound barrier!!! The thunder from a +CG lightning strike, is so intense, it breaks the freakin sound barrier, which results in: Explosive thunder

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Thanks for that info 👍 they sure are loud haha

[@insanestorms5176]

I love how smooth positive lightning is

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Same. I just don't like it when it comes out of nowhere at 1:00AM lol.

[@insanestorms5176]

I just don’t like thunderstorm’s when I’m trying to sleep

[@danielmargrie]

@@SouthSydneyStorms Wow

[@everettweeks4289]

This storm you were filming this is what I consider the extensive positive region

[@michaelkeene3051]

[@Evannweather]

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Nice, you got more bolts ay home than I did travelling 400kms from West Wyalong to home, did however get 400kms of awesome squall line.

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Yeah I noticed the lighting started to pick up along the coast. Atleast u got a nice view of it developing. Thanks for watching

[@jontownsend8090]

Awesome. These storms are really starting to pack some punch. Unfortunately I will miss out this summer because the border is still shut for UK tourism.

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Yeah this season has been in my top 3 best my entire 15 years of living. Hope everything gets back to normal mate. Thanks for stopping by though. Here are other Aussie chasers you should maybe check out if u want. ozthunder Michael Keene

@@SouthSydneyStorms don't know about your end, but in Liverpool side it was a bit of a dud.

@@thatindiandude4602 didn't get much here, just a bit of rain & that's it. Should be more tonight :) maybe.

[@RaptorJJ1234]

Yay how was the storm

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Was very good mate. Great way to start off the year! 7/10

[@RaptorJJ1234]

Nice 👍

[@elevatorsfromrobloxbyposword]

Really good caught alot of close strikes since I am from Sydney too I saw the same too

[@RaptorJJ1234]

Sydney gets so much thunderstorms I wish Perth did

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

@@RaptorJJ1234 not really tbh. You just have to be at the right place at the right time. This is a awesome storm season whereas 2019 was terrible. I guess u can say sydney is one of the best places in Australia for storms though.

[@thelightninghunter23]

I think the 2:16 strike was also positive, although it sounded like it had a low peak current. The way you can tell a lot of +CGs and -CGs apart is when the loudest thunder happens. If you hear relatively softer crackling and then the boom happens, this usually means -CG. If the thunder is very sudden, it's probably a +CG. Even though the 2:16 flash isn't too loud, the thunder still hits pretty suddenly. There are exceptions, though I'd say 90-95% of strikes I see follow this rule. The physical reason for this difference is that -CGs tend to have many branches and +CGs tend not to. Therefore with -CGs you hear the closer branches before the main channel. --Chris

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Fair enough Chris thank u for that info. Looks like u have good knowledge of storms which I am trying to work on personally 🤣.

[@SilverThunder710]

I'm just surfing the web right now, but as an aspiring meteorologist and storm chaser, this helped me with telling the difference, so thank you.
