Worst Weather - Lightning

[@xItachisTwinSisterx]

I've always found lightning incredibly fascinating. Whenever there's a storm in the distance, I'll stand outside and watch the lightning strikes. It's so pretty and awesome.

[@SceneArtisan]

Flight TWA800 wasn't downed by lightning,. but a small short-circuit spark in some old wiring in the fuel tank which was basically full of warm vapour in a very low-filled fuel-tank from the jet having been stood in hot summer sun on the tarmac.

[@NoddyMaccy]

I remember when we had those storms. I was living in East London and it was constant flash, explosion, flash, explosion, flash, explosion non stop. It was amazing!

[@JammyJess]

I live in Oxfordshire and I vaguely remember we had some nasty storms over a couple of summer's during that time, but honestly, we don't suffer that much from thunderstorms, we just get the odd one probably once or twice a year. At least that's what happens in the area I live in, can't speak for other counties.

[@Tstorms]

That's true! I heard thunder last week (it's winter here in the UK) and there was lightning occurring during snowfall about 3 years ago.

[@1815chris5curious]

Alex - You can see lightning in the winter, although it is more common in warm/moist climate. Where I live there's no snow - we get lightning in winter. In fact, even in the US where I'm guessing you live, you can see lightning in winter.

[@narkatameister]

I live in central Scotland for 6 years now and I witness lightning once

[@rupertsibelius7512]

just wonderful subject, terrific video, amazing scenes. thank u so much for uploading.

[@Bmidgetman21]

Even if you live in a place where you do get snow in winter, you still can get lightning. A few years back we had a snow storm and we saw lightning. look up Thunder Snow. Its an amazing and weird sight considering we never associate lightning with snow.

[@owenevans83]

Why haven't I seen this before? This will get me in the mood for results day

[@Tstorms]

Once again, only if the cloud base is positively charged. If it is negatively charged, electrons will rush from cloud to ground. The opposite happens when the base is positive, when electrons in the ground will be attracted to the cloud

[@MrMichael1701]

No Commercials! THANK YOU.

[@youdoneyetyaornah3586]

lol

[@marconius101]

download adblocker and all commercials are history....

[@heatherstub]

Oh no. Please don't remove it. Thank you. I know you probably are concerned about the publisher wanting you to remove it, but I don't think they'll ask you to do so, because this is very educational and not just for entertainment.

[@Marmocet]

Britain's weather isn't altogether pleasant - it's often cool and damp - but in the grand scheme of things, the UK's weather is quite tame. You don't get dangerous or frequent tornadoes, you don't get many thunderstorms (or much lightning), or deadly heatwaves (multiple 32+ degree days), or arctic cold snaps (-15 or colder, though some places in Scotland get that cold). You also don't get hurricanes. For the most part, the worst you get is rain and a little wind.

[@JasonKerlin]

static electricity is electric charge that collects on objects and stays there. When it moves it isn't static anymore and flows as DC. Tesla coils produce AC.

[@23viktor23]

No he resides in Great Brittain. I'm from Holland and we also seldom see lightning in the winter months.

[@sunny98011]

best program

[@Railfanable]

A storm that lasted a month? My gosh!

[@bbybby91]

for some reason I just cant wrap my head around the fact that there is severe weather in the UK... O.o

[@ExtremeWeatherUK]

Lightning is forever epic! :) I can never forget.. seeing it as a child.. and being fascinated.. then in shock when I hear about people hiding under tables :L

[@hotwheelsbingbang]

hey I warched on the news a girl being hit by lighting when she was warching the lighting for her bedroom window lucky she surzied

[@skunk96]

Great show, thank you for posting!

[@emet-selch9378]

My brother was on a rode in a storm and not far away from him lightning hit a power line and he says "it was the most lode noise I have never heard!" Also he said that all the cars on the rode stop when they all heard the sound!

[@MrRossmcivor]

hi im jessica age 9 i am in year 4 in histry we are lerning on the dangrus weather and when it will happen

[@bristowboy20]

I came upon a tree that had been struck by lightning. Pieces of it had been thrown over 100 yards. very dangerous.

[@ForOdinAndAsgard]

Though the lightning does not last that long in winter they are still quite frequent along the coast of the Netherlands. Always at night, always above the water and cloud to cloud rather than cloud to ground, especially in Holland. Quite the light show to be honest.

[@Mossyz.]

@ Laudium Enoch. WoW .....relax ...!!!! ...This doc is for children for the ages of 5-13 ...Which is mainly to teach them the basics of Lightning. I think this doc is very suitable for children

[@HeraDrums]

1:15 behold, the world's first electric gimp suit.

[@emilymilli140]

WHAT NO LAPTAP NO TV! *cries* NUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[@weather9123]

Awesome stuff :)

[@23viktor23]

Does anybody know which music is used in this documentary? I like it.

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

yea u can see lightning in winter but not in cold climates, u can see thundersnow. lightning occurs in warm environments mostly above 48 degrees. its warm here in the US and u can see lightning in the winter time just not in cold temps.....exception of thunder snow, if any lightning does occur in winter cold climates its very little

[@Videoguy2129]

Yes that is true we call it " Thunder Snow " it,s rare but it does happen

[@retandom]

woah.... the sith is real... " POWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! ULTAMATE POWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!" @ 2:30

[@MrRossmcivor]

i been struck by lightng when i was a todler i felt so hot as the pain rushed thouth my body anyway im 9 and im lerning on dangus and safe weter

[@Wolfboy183]

Can someone tell me what the computer program showing the lightning strikes is called?

[@Tstorms]

I've had 4 storms this year so far.

[@Tstorms]

Worst weather? more like best weather. Thunderstorms ftw!

[@1815chris5curious]

"mythbusters proved that its a myth that lighting has the effect this documentary claims about answering the phone during a lighting storm" Bad advice! People have been struck this way in real life. "In 1998, a nine-year-old girl was jolted by a lightning strike as she talked on the telephone in the family home in Columbus, Ohio. Megan Duty was whomped by the blast while seated on a stool in the kitchen - her mother and grandmother heard a thunderous noise and looked over in time to see the girl scream and throw the phone as smoke issued from her. The child, who had turned blue and experienced trouble walking, was treated at a nearby hospital and released the same day. Other than having a bit of trouble hearing in her right ear, she afterwards appeared to be fine." Narciso, Dean. "Lightning Jolts 9-Year-Old Girl on Telephone." The Columbus Dispatch. 25 August 1998. She was lucky. People have died. Obviously if it's a cordless phone you should be good!

[@julianBraga]

I agree; know people who've been struck wile on the phone ...

[@howardrichards829]

CuriousVideos Lightning struck a house in which I was renting the bottom floor. The worst damage was above me -- holes blown into and out of the walls, night lights that had exploded and singed the walls; all the electronics fried, etc. -- but it also fried my phone and answering machine and a stereo that had been plugged in slowly died over the next week or two. In addition to wires carrying the electricity, the pipes also acted as good conductors; some jumped out of my shower and vaporized about 2 cc's of the concrete floor, coating the whole bathroom with a coarse dust. DO NOT TAKE A SHOWER DURING A THUNDERSTORM!

Where I grew up, an indoor antenna would not really have worked. At least those old analog signals degraded gracefully. These digital ones can't deal with any static at all.

[@Mueskulls]

@ Joseph Alonso actually its about 50,000 degrees fahrenheit thats 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun

[@DivinityzBeAsT]

when his shoe blew up i was like holy crap lol

[@arronjames1409]

what software is he using and where can u buy it

[@jalonso980]

The temperature of lightning is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@Wolfboy183]

8:52 Lightning did that? HOLY SHIT

[@heatherstub]

And I'm originally from Florida, and I thought that was the lightning capitol of the world. I wonder if that's changing.

[@Tstorms]

Only if the cloud base is positively charged.

[@lonewolf031]

American storms make English storms look like weak copies.

[@SunShine1732]

I thought that I was the only one!!

[@eftinora]

i thought this was video of thundery sounds...

[@ThePapabear1017]

AMEN Steve.

[@dwstratto]

9 near misses and counting, two of which were ball lightning.

[@23viktor23]

just buy strikealert. It looks like a pager and you can clip it to your belt. Look it up it's called stike alert personal lightning detector

[@junkiexl86]

It's called ThunderSnow

[@adamrspears1981]

They said that we can't predict when & where lightning will strike. They are wrong! We *can* predict when & where lightning will strike. It easy! Just point to anywhere on the ground & say: "Eventually lightning will strike that spot again." -Its that easy. ;^)

[@adamrspears1981]

Goth Doll brilliant!

[@emilymilli140]

NO LAPTOP NO TV! nuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh! D:

[@MrGrumpygit488]

Course the car would'nt work, its a Rover!

[@Tstorms]

Noted! :)

[@ThisIsRKane]

Haha. Until your find yourself struck by lightening or your town demolished by a tornado. Thunderstorms FTW? = Fuck The Weather?

[@katarzynagacka3628]

This is some good shit

[@slrxxxxx]

Lightning is so pretty

[@daletiger35]

Don't know.

[@Twizt3dArc]

Tesla coils dont create static electricity dammit.

[@Mewmewpopstar]

17:10 Jareth O_O

[@brickhead48]

i remember august 04

[@FariahH28]

4:30, told you so

[@lilyclarke4583]

No

[@Wolfboy183]

@MultiRunescape999 but THEN i took an arrow to the knee

[@MrBossmedo]

it's said awesome weather epic weather :\

[@MasterLittica]

Anyone else find the music in these things annoying as all hell?

[@Tstorms]

Actually on average more people are killed by lightning each year than tornadoes or hurricanes

[@tenshi7angel]

Not even safe inside, in fact blow your house up or burn it to the ground.... eew. D: Unless you got a faraday cage. :D

[@jazdream22]

its ok i have cable with no tv ariel lol

[@TyrathShadowblade]

i hate lighting with super sals

[@StarTrekkie1996]

@DrummerThatOwnz Probably incase he was stealing rights from somebody etc...

[@Volgasmetdietroep]

24:17 *God hates football*

[@ItsNotKnit]

mythbusters proved that its a myth that lighting has the effect this documentary claims about the home office and answering the phone during a lighting storm, so thats false

[@krzysztofrodak876]

I would never take 'mythbusters' seriously. It's just entertainment tv programme while there were many real cases of people injured by phone line, or even by water pipes during a storm. Just think that steel/brass water pipe is much better electricity conductor than plain earth, especially when the soil is dry

[@23viktor23]

Other documentaries already showed a broken phone where the lightning went through killing a person, who was on that phone, in the process. I wouldn't believe the commercial junkies like mythbusters if you ask me.

[@HigherWaysWoman]

that's a first Ive heard of lightening having any spiritual associations. Lightening is what helps keeps the earth energized...as it also recharges buried crystals & thunder stimulate plants to grow. calling lightening evil sounds like a religious fanatic *rolls eyes & shakes head...oh brother sighs* Lightening has too many positive aspects to be evil eh! ;-)

[@NickTheGamerTV]

UK? Lightning? HAHAHAHA spend a couple weeks in Florida that's almost asking to get hit

[@FariahH28]

Jk

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

bad video, you cannot see lightning in the winter unless its thundersnow which is rare, thunder and lightning are most common in warm environments, in the video they are wearing jacketsand its winter showing lightning in the back ground.....

[@FariahH28]

:P
