Hi Caroline, just seen your footage of the lighting in Blackpool, I thoroughly enjoyed it , wish i could drive I'll chasing storms myself .

Cloud to ground lightning ⚡️ as well… the most dangerous type of lightning there is!

Nice catches good one

This is an amazing video I love a good thunderstorm. I remember being on holiday in Blackpool back in 1996 I think it was and one night there was a big thunderstorm overnight and it seemed to go on for ages. Didn't get much sleep that night, but it was well worth it.

Hi Caroline, I too love a good, old-fashioned thunderstorm. We don't get many these days, and certainly not as good as in the past. Nice captures anyway. I would also like to go tornado-chasing in the states & would be the one sat next to you in the back of a pickup, lol. Carry on the good work.

Never safe from a storm, I assume you follow the 30/30 rule? Lightning has been known to strike 25 miles or so from the storm, the bolt from the blue as it were !!

Nice one Caroline, my wife and I both love thunderstorms. We live in Sheffield and sadly we don't have epic storms often. On Monday 12th June a storm cell came close to Sheffield after 6pm and we had strong gales and heavy, heavy rain. There were many rumbles and odd flickers of sheet lightning, but no fireworks sadly. Hopefully there may be more to come over the next few months. Maybe we'll just go storm chasing. Thanks for filming that great show in Blackpool.

Hey 👋 just subbed and liked the video I love Thunder storms my self greetings from Ireland 😊

I adore severe the worst the better I if you love a cracking lightning display you go to florida in may to October your treat one virtually every day sometimes 3times a day the last time I went to florida I was in lightning heaven you definitely must go the lightning was so dangerous that we were ordered to stay in doors and humidity was so high that the day temperatures was 33c in day and 29c at night so you must 100percent definitely have to go

New here + subbed. Amazing footage of the lightning. I'm from Stoke-on-Trent, love Blackpool, i come a lot. we had this nearby before heading your way. Didnt hit us directly but was all around us in Cheshire. the views were brill as always from my flat living room window. I watch a lot of US storm chasers live like Reed Timmer, Brad Arnold + loads more. u want to watch Brad's stream from tonight, it was insane, went from light to dark. lightning was so intense.

Video molto bello , molto brava

@petercooper2387

Positive stroke lightning is initiated from the positively charged cloud top and very often has to ground where the earth is negatively charged which is usually well outside the storm area. The normally negatively charged earth assumes a positive charge under the influence of the storm cloud above. As result, the discharge pathway of a positive CG is much longer than a more normal negative CG. The potential that is built up before a positive CG discharge can be made to ground is as, a result, enormous. The resultant strike is usually blinding (300,000 amperes / 1 billion volts) and the explosive thunder is earsplitting - being heard up to 20 miles away. looking at this video each CG is grounding right beneath the cloud base and taking into account the appearance of each stroke (positive CGs are often almost straight rather than forked) and the magnitude of the thunder, bearing in mind the distance from the observer, they appear to be, although dramatic, normal negative CGs.

Aye! There’s no need to copy and paste your google search to reply. There are at least two positive C/G’s in this video - the sound of the thunder in one is a dead give away it’s a positive bolt along with the shape of the bolt and the fact it doesn’t appear to flicker as is the case with a negative flash.

Count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder. Divide by four and that's how many miles away it is. 4 seconds = 1 mile. The speed of sound at 20c is about 760mph. From a sound engineer! We use that to calculate the delay time to the delay hangs.

A lot of cloud to ground strikes in that storm, i always wonder what the lightning hits and if it does any damage, years ago the house attached to mine was struck and it blew the chimney to pieces!, i never want to be that close again, the flash and bang were really frightening!

By the time it reached Fleetwood it had fizzled out, we were watching from our street, we saw some lightning coming from Blackpool and I was following the storm all afternoon, shame to say we just got a bit of rain and nothing much else.

Lightning can travel up to 10-50 miles away from the parent storm and can spread up to 10-15 meters from point of impact

that's why don't wear any metals on ya in the rainstorm, nothing on your fingers, head, neck, nowhere, lighting loves to play matchmaking with metal or water, then you end up a human french fry(chips, but not fish), you will also end up a street lamp at night too, shine more brighter than;a street lamp ,.......marius(punk rules).
