Powerful Florida Thunderstorm On The Beach - Bradenton

Bradenton, Florida

[@cyberbfostar]

The dark clouds and teal ocean water with white sand. What a beautiful sight 😍

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Its awesome here

[@Mckenna-cw6fi]

I agree

[@bobstevierayvaugn7834]

Sitting here watching the video and shaking my head at those nuts huddle under the lighting magnet tent.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I took this video FLAT OUT on the ground... unreal.

[@caravanstuff2827]

You don't have to be a optimist to live in Florida...but it helps ,with hurricanes, supercell thunderstorms and alligators something going to get you sooner or later!!.🤣🤣❤️🇺🇲

Crazy video Florida is pretty flat so there's nothing holding back that wind

[@vgahren]

😂 There’s (at least one in every crowd); either under a tent, umbrella, jogging on the beach. It’s like when you read ‘tragic fall while on vacation’ and you’re like “yeah, they went over the boundary for a selfie.” 🤣

Oh how I miss the Fl. thunderstorms . I would pull over on my way home and wstch them roll in. Magnificent! Thank you for sharing.

So refreshing down to the bones chill out and cool Down

[@lmcwill0502]

No one considers the flooding that can come from those afternoon rain storms is hardly magnificent, it sucks.

[@jamiewoodcock9765]

Like nothing you've ever seen before that's for sure miss the storms myself I try explaining it to freinds up here in Michigan but you have to live it to understand what it really looks like complete amazement 4 sure

Texas storms are better…but then Texas is better than Florida!

[@Babemuffin]

[@sallydaniel1023]

One of the worst places you can be during a thunderstorm is on the beach. I live in Florida, and I hear about people getting struck by lightning 🌩 quite a bit

[@stephensnell5707]

That is because water is an excellent conductor of electricity and each lightning strike has up to 1 billion volts of electricity⚠️⛈️⛈️⛈️

[@michaelveis6498]

Being at the beach during a thunderstorm is dangerous. It's like playing Russian Roulette.

[@sunshiny_days.]

I cannot believe the ignorance of the people staying on the beach.

[@AngieW-ri6qx]

Ikr!

[@heathergarson6793]

Calm down they just wanted to see it?

[@Roblocksgaming]

I mean they literally have shelter, along as they just don’t be dumb and run outside on the beach without a proper tent or car (Like some of the people are watching it in a tent) Then it should be fine.

[@squeals08]

In NJ, if we see creepy clouds like that, we pack our things & run towards our 🚙 🚘 & head home as fast as the lightings 😅 great footage, tnx

[@josephsmyth832]

I used to live in Cape Coral, Florida about twenty years ago and thunderstorms in Florida are no joke and not fun. I moved to Alberta, Canada and it’s like night and day. People take for granted the power of thunderstorms when it comes to heat and intensity. I am surprised anyone wants to be on the beach during a thunderstorm. I have heard a lightning bolt can stretch for miles even beyond the clouds themselves. Definitely something that gives me anxiety

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I know some parts of Alberta are amazing for their natural beauty. It was a joy to see Canada. I really love the storms. Nothing like unloading a trailer full of soggy construction demolition by hand in one of these at the fort myers facility. yup.. glad its just a Camera today.

[@EduardoHernandez-ps2vz]

Wow that storm looks serious.

[@sammarks2177]

You moved to Alberta from Florida and I recently moved to Florida from Alberta! The storms are beautiful and intense here but Alberta has some intense weather as well. I love the storms but the tornados up there scare me! No warning and I lived very close to the big one that hit Edmonton in 1987. Hope you are enjoying AB. I miss the mountains! That’s my paradise.

[@josephsmyth832]

@@sammarks2177 That’s a hilarious coincidence. It’s interesting that you mentioned Edmonton and the big one that hit because I actually live in Edmonton…lol Fortunately. I haven’t had to see any tornadoes over the last twenty years thank goodness. Tornadoes for me are the worst weather phenomenon to be in and the big one that hit Edmonton was massive. The lightning scares me even here in Edmonton because nature can be unpredictable but people tend to not be concerned and complacent. I certainly don’t miss the hurricane season that’s for sure. Unfortunately, my circumstances limit me to being only able to travel in Edmonton so I have only seen pictures and videos of the natural beauty that Alberta offers.

[@kristenfuller9168]

I have fear thunderstorms I have phobia. Might want to visit Florida but I don't think I want to live there due to their heavy thunderstorms hurricanes I think dealing with Canada thunderstorms are enough for me. Florida thunderstorm seem stronger than Canada's ....? You think I'm lucky I live in Canada? And not Florida ?

[@DoloresGoffdeejays]

I too just love a good thunderstorm. Everything always feels so clean, fresh, and new to me afterwards.

[@tararockrevivalbebe6427]

That’s exciting! One thing I miss about Florida are those wicked storms!

[@user-nk7kp2xr4n]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from GREECE 🇬🇷🖐️

[@italiansister8069]

Yes that's a storm what a beautiful view you took a great shot of the storm I wouldn't deal with the lightning awesome Joseph thank you ⚡

[@ydarbnhoj]

This was wonderful footage. I’ve seen this kind of an occurrence both in South Florida and here at the New Jersey shore many times over the years Nothing feels quite as elemental as the clash of sky and sea especially in moments like this… I very much enjoyed this - thanks for posting and be well

[@Jenni_H]

Mr. JOSE I appreciate you and your videos!!

[@suzannecoe4347]

I used to live on Indian Rocks Beach in summer and I loved the storms. We would sit under a thatched shelter. It can be scary and it can be beautiful.

[@Jenni_H]

Honestly I LOVE THIS type of weather. It's truly beauty as it's best.. shoot but don't stay on the sand AFTER the rain cuz u will be attacked by noseeums/sand fleas.. 😖 TRUST ME I learned my lesson 💯

[@kristenfuller9168]

There's clearly lightning I find it nuts people are still near the water. I'm thinking get away from the water. Cuz I think Florida thunderstorms are dangerous I live in Canada. Florida thunderstorm seems stronger than Canada's are they?

[@SirKolass]

Noseeums and sand fleas and completely different animals

[@Msdhdjmz]

Look at that sky,holy crap 😯,so neat!!! you had me laughing at the end 😁,thx for sharing!!

[@ParrotHead1980]

Its awesome to watch a thunderstorm coming in off the Gulf, you can feels its power and smell the rain from far away. Also the change in hot air to cold air from down drafts. I use to live in Panama City Beach and watching these beautiful storms was awesome.

[@KristyW72]

Thats a beautiful storm. I'm watching one roll in right now from Panama City Beach Florida

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

awesome feeling

[@kson566]

That's so beautiful and romantic!!! What a view... I wish I could have been there

[@Whatt787]

Beautiful white sand beach, cool thunderstorm

[@AmericanConstellation]

I've lived here all my life. I've always had a boat. Imagine getting caught in that out on the water? It sucks! Those people on the beach in this video are a prime candidate for getting hit by lightning.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

canoes and kayaks for me, sometimes if the wind is in your favor, you just need to steer!

[@IrishWolfCub]

Oh I've been caught in a many thunder storms on rivers in summer, there was one in particular when I was younger that between my dad which was looking straight ahead, me to the east and sister to the west we counted 79 strikes and that's just what we saw crazy shit we hauled ass to the dock lol

[@Ray56z]

No place stupider to be than on a wide open stretch of beach, metal pole surrounding you, imbedded in sand sticking into the air.

[@kristenfuller9168]

@@IrishWolfCub must be traumatizing hope you're okay after that. I have bad anxiety during thunderstorms. I had a fear thunderstorms my whole life 😫 I don't live in Florida I live in Canada. And I think Canada thunderstorms are enough for me. How strong are they in Florida? They look so much stronger than Canada then my thunderstorms. I don't get those kind of thunderstorms in Florida

[@kristenfuller9168]

@@IrishWolfCub my thunderstorms are weaker

[@codymarshall2540]

I encountered a Thunderstorm on a Florida Beach last year and it was terrifying. Plus the strong wind makes it more terrifying. I been to Florida at least 5 times from when I was a kid to growing up and I have never encountered a Thunderstorm on the Florida beach before until last year. It was amazing and a scary encounter.

[@barbaraflowers3308]

Its kinda scary but beautiful. I was in Florida for vacation one time and we went to the beach and it was raining and sand his us hard it hurt! But then shortly after the storm stopped and it was worth the view. The teal ocean and strong waves with the dark and stormy clouds right above it and clearing up on the other side. But the most concerning part about those storms is not only the rip tides or strong currents and waves but the lightening strikes and the strong winds. Not to mention the sand hitting you in the face and eyes. And the heavy rain making it hard to see where you are going. Scary.but for some reason there is something so calm about it. Seeing the storm clouds and lightening right in front of you and the wind blowing

[@Explorizm]

This is amazing! I love a storm on the coast! Thanks for sharing

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Thanks for watching!

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

I know someone who witnessed an autopsy of a person killed by a lightning strike on a beach. They said the heart and lungs looked like a steak left on a grill for an hour.

[@mikef4776]

When we visit the naples fort myers area there usually at least one storm like this!! Everyone seems use to them and find shelter !! I find them pretty awesome and its just part of living in that area!

[@RandyLWhitaker]

Oh how I miss those gulf coast storms. Didn’t like the hurricanes lol, but a good Florida storm were my favorite. Talk about beautiful scenery and amazing sleep!

[@kevinsnell5031]

Coming back a very very long walk got caught in the storms. It feels like you’re being sandblasted. where do you go to get out of it under a tree? And then no lightning set on a beach. Enjoy the rain it’s awesome. Also, when the people are running, they drop all kinds of stuff on the beach you’re gonna find.

[@jonr3809]

Beautiful storm !! It is only a few miles away and everyone on the beach is fair game to get blasted by lightning. In upstate NY, three State Policeman were struck while standing outdoors when the storm was 13 miles away. It was a very hot bright sunny day and you could barely see the top of the thunderhead. One little bolt can ruin your whole day.

[@gaylefasano9550]

Those people are crazy that stood on the beach. They were asking for trouble when I grew up as a beach goer, we were taught as soon as you see or hear thunder or lightning from a distance. Get the hell off the beach. 🏖️ When lightning hits it is terrifying especially when it’s close. I witness that myself when I was outside on my porch and I think lightning hit a couple streets down from me and let me tell you. It was so loud that it set off everybody’s car alarms around the area.

[@Highland_Moo]

Looks gorgeous. I’m from the Scottish highlands and I’d give my right tit to sit on that beach during that storm. We get storms here but they’re winter storms and are very wet and windy. The thought of sitting on a lovely beach with warm water and beautiful lightning is something awesome to me. I went to the Dominican Republic in 2001 at Christmas time and every afternoon around 5 o’clock there’d be a thunderstorm and it was amazing.

[@squeals08]

Looks like a 🌪️ tornado just touched down… on foot storm ⛈️ chaser..l enjoyed listening to your non-stop talk 😅😅😅

[@nikkibonanno3794]

It’s a regular Florida summer thunderstorm, honestly. There’s nothing unusual.

[@Ray56z]

Actually it was two mesocyclone storms side by side. Just slightly more powerful than our 'regular' Florida thunderstorms. These are ALWAYS full of high winds, extreme lightening, waterspouts offshore, and tornadoes while in the mid-west part of America-and sometimes in Florida. It's almost a given 9 out of 10 times with these compared to our regular flat front storms. I'm sitting here now listening to storms coming ashore that are splitting me, but have the place rocking with constant distance thunder from the south and north. Just our regular Florida thunderstorms.

[@lastshallbefirst5516]

Well, Florida has been having some unusual weather this Summer, for y’all standards. From tornadoes, flooding, and record heat. A terrible Hurricane almost seems eminent this year, sad to say.

[@Ray56z]

@@lastshallbefirst5516 We've some saving grace with the weak el'nino pushing upper level shear winds east across the Gulf out into the Atlantic. Africa is helping out with drought and dust storms leaving offshore with their storms too. If one does burst through, yeah, it'll be a big one. Doubtful it'll be any worse than Michael that I rode out in the east eye wall.

[@SuperEholmes]

Unless you want to get hit by lightning. Dangerous to stay out on the beach during a storm. Use your common sense.

[@Ray56z]

@@SuperEholmes There's an entire mass of voters that elected our President, some on the other side too, that wouldn't have the common sense to know what common sense is if it was explained for 40 hours a week.

[@ocoossss]

Great thunderstorms are the reason I have my whole life pondered if I should move to Florida. In my country (finland) where I live, we can see only 1-3 thunderstorms in a year. It's so depressive.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

They are powerful here. But the heat is relentless

[@mrslinarcos]

I miss Central Florida thunder ⛈️ storms. I used to live in Lady Lake and before there I lived in Dania Beach , not far from Fort Lauderdale. It took me a while to get used to them. Always expected a Severe Thunderstorm Warning as we do in the Midwest. These storms in Florida are different from what I know in Illinois, I just wished I could move back to Florida.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Lightning strikes are very prevalent in Florida. We clear the beach when a thunderstorm approaches.

Why are so many people still on the beach? I’d have packed up and gone home long before the storm gets that close…. Don’t get me wrong I love storms and they look cool but I don’t want to be around when that thing hits especially with all of that lightning and everyone being out in the open on the beach like that.

[@lindadillingham6737]

I live in Bradenton. I should’ve been there to look for waterspout. There’s a lowering ( wallcloud) area. Rotation area in this storm. It looks like over White sun shelter. I found storm on day with low pressure center over FL rotating with funnel cloud over Bradenton ( SR 70 Caruso RD) a few weeks ago. Have seen funnel clouds and rotation areas all over with afternoon pulse storms. I’ve done some stormchasing. I had some Meteorology classes.

Looks rough. I lived there five years then in Pacific on Guam also Aores in Atlantic, wild weather.

[@ILoveOldTWC]

Bradenton didn't have as many of these last summer as they normally do. It was dry during the rain and thunderstorm season last year. This is so common in Florida, more so than even hurricanes. They don't usually move inland from the beach. They usually remain inland or move toward the coast from inland areas, because that's how the sea breeze works. More common in Lakeland and Orlando than coastal areas. Is this Anna Maria island or Holmes Beach?

[@oceana101]
