Severe thunderstorms in Bethel, Maine - Extremely close strike

Lots of cloud to ground strikes and large hail from a series of severe thunderstorms in Maine.
An extremely close anvil to ground strike hits 50 feet away and obliterates a tree.

VOLUME WARNING at 11:58! You have been warned!

If you enjoy chasing lightning and storms come to Florida

[@theloneone381]

Crazy thing to me is, it looked so sunny all around.

[@interstateruler]

I love chasing storms in Rapid City and Nebraska. This is an awesome storm video

[@beautifulrelaxingmusic92]

It's been a year I sleep easily with this sound. Anytime I want to sleep at all, this puts me to sleep. Thanks. For real. 💜

[@Cletten]

So true!!! The most relaxing part is around 11:58

[@MrHuismeester]

Excellent video !!! 11:58 was a close one !!!

[@DynamicDuo795]

You would think that Maine would be virtually immune to severe weather like other states that aren't known for experiencing weather phenomenon like this such as Alaska, California, Hawaii, etc but that just simply isn't the case. Great storm you caught.

Very, very nice. Crispy and eerie.

Thunderstorms happened there since November 3, 1983

[@interstateruler]

Holy shit that's incredible lightning

[@williamperryjr1324]

That loud thunderclap was definitely too close for comfort!!!!

Woow - cool Video with extrem good Sound! What kind of Microfon did you used? Thanks a lot!

[@Tstorms]

This was recorded with the internal mics of a Zoom H4n!

[@gunniholli2187]

​Oh Cool - that's why it sounds so dynamic and clean. I recorded with H1N years before: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/m57Mf4ujerSpbtk Really nice 😁​@@Tstorms

[@Tstorms]

@@gunniholli2187 Yeah the h4n has some really good dynamic range! Also nice recording!! A lot of my stuff for the past year or so has been with a h1n too, a temporary replacement because my h4n stopped working after 9 years lol. Though I recently got a zoom F3 and a pair of primo em272s, hoping to try them out this year on some storms 🌩️

[@gunniholli2187]

@@Tstorms oh yes, that could be more great with extrem good Thundersounds. I'm just happy to hear that in your next Videos! 😎👍
