Edited down for those with short attention spans or those who don’t have infinite amounts of time to watch long videos.
This one you can hear the power transformer blow and see the flash from the bolt of lightning that hit REALLY close. Followed by a slow-mo replay of that.
Yeah, I know some people might find it lame that they can’t see anything. But remember, it was dark and I could barely see anything either. The only way I could see was from the little bit of city light that was reflecting back from the clouds.
Not being able to see much of what’s going on is what makes it more nerve wracking. Believe me, my nerves were wracked after this one. Took me a couple hours to get calmed back down.
The original video can be seen in the previous post (that would be the one before this one).
That was really good. Typical of storms in the plains. They come up fast, dump huge amounts of rain, the wind blows like crazy while lightning flashes and thunder crashes. Since our new place does not have a basement, I’m dreading thunderstorms and tornado warnings this season.
