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

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

@@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.
