CONSTANT LIGHTNING - Unreal Electric Storm

At first this storm seemed like the typical storm complex that develops in Nebraska in June. Shooting time-lapse photography on the north side of the storm gave me clear view of the multi celled updrafts. With each passing minute, more and more lightning activity became visible. It soon become evident Mother Nature was cooking up something unusual.

Throughout the video you'll notice little green lights glowing. These are fireflies and they were also unusually abundant this year.

The imagery recalls that of neurons firing. A great cloud brain.

I live in the Texas Panhandle and every so often we get these storms that do nothing but lightning over and over with no breaks in between. Truly a sight to behold.

Saw a storm like this earlier this year. It was directly over my town and the sky was almost permanently ablaze for about ten minutes. The strangest thing though was the complete lack of rain, wind or thunder. It was absolutely silent as the sky seemed to flicker between day and night. Incredible spectacle.

I love storms like this - we had one just a couple of weeks ago. Many years ago I was teaching a class of 11 year olds, and a storm blew up. It was early afternoon but became so dark street lights came on. Then the lightning began. I switched off the class room lights and for the rest of the lesson we stood and watched the most magnificent storm I've ever seen. Years later, the pupils still talked to me about the storm. Apparently, the other teachers had closed curtains and blinds, and mine were the only ones to see the storm in all its glory.

When you were like “this is not a time lapse” I was like 😱

There’s nothing in the world I love more than a thunderstorm.... This was spectacular!!

[SkaiXmask]

I think your sky is lagging try to switch it off and on again it should fix it

Plot twist: This is just Thor and Electro fighting.

I've experienced that phenomena while I lived in north Texas. Grab a portable am radio and tune it to an open frequency and you can hear the violent static noises from thunderstorms scores of miles away or more.

I am seeing this video for the first time. Taking it as being authentic, it is one of the most spectacular captures of natural phenomena I have ever seen. I can only imagine how breath taking it must have been, to witness it first hand...

[davidholman]

It almost looks like nature is creating something. Such a concentration of lightning strikes me as a process of some kind.

[andycheng]

I guess youtube recommendations have brought us all back together again

These electric storms are unreal. I’ve witnessed it once and it’s awe inspiring. The magnitude and sheer ferocity of it really makes you feel insignificant in the face of Mother Nature. Very cool stuff

There's so much beauty in storms, every time there's a storm I get a chair next to the window and watch it, specially if it's lightning ... I also love heavy rain too ...

[WindFair]

Imagine being there and having epilepsy😂

[nathannelson]

Getting to see a lightning storm like that in person would be an indescribable privilege for me! Lighting is my favorite weather phenomenon on the planet! It's true magic!

[TikiShootah]

I remember that storm, it was wild. Not a a sound but the sky was going nuts

[Jaymac]

Thanks to Avatar: The Last Airbender, I have a major obsession with lightning. To me, it’s the ultimate sign of power and it makes me very sad that I am not a fire bender with the ability to harness lightning

Ive only seen a storm like this once in my lifetime in CT. It was 1998 On Good Friday. The storm lasted the entire day and night with the loudest thunder I ever experienced

[addiehamiltn]

There is only one explanation for this...
