Chasing Bolts - the hunt to capture the perfect bolt of lightning ⚡🌩 | ABC Australia

Moisture, lift and an unstable atmosphere. When these three ingredients come together, that's where you'll find storms, and where there are storms, there are storm chasers - people who travel thousands of kilometres to chase wild and dangerous weather. They are on the hunt to capture the perfect bolt of lightning flashing across the skies. They are chasing bolts.

Magnificent! So stoked to have been involved in this, and being able to highlight my families amazing support behind it as well :)

This is the sort of program the ABC should be making... no agendas, no endless womens issues, just a good entertaining show.

[MrBully]

Stunning, stunning & stunning!!! Thank goodness Australia has such talented people contributing to our priceless ABC 👍

What a fantastic story. That is one of my greatest passions. Excellent pictures and scenery. My heart goes out to the lady who's daughter is stricken with brain chemistry disorder, I myself have daughter with brain chemical deficiency and its extremely difficult to manage, but manage some how. She's correct that it makes you a better person in many ways. Lots of love from the north eastern u.s.

What a beautiful documentary and bless Kylie's heart, I couldn't imagine, but sounds like she found what she needs to keep on keeping on!

This is just beautiful. What an awesome piece of art. I cannot begin to describe the impact this had on me. Thanks to all the participants. Kylie, you are an absolute hero as a human being and Mum. Much love to you. I wish you all good bolts and stay safe.

[LynHannan]

So awesome, I'm speechless. Awesome people getting exhilaratingly close to nature at it's most magnificent. And they call it "Living in the moment". WOW!

I personally liked the informative voice over at the beginning. A tasteful insight into the background of the Bolt chasers pleasingly grounded these adventurers. You nailed it.

Absolutely brilliant work 👏 I have had the pleasure of chatting with both Kylie and Jordan on multiple occasions and they are true blue legends. Well done to all involved.

The build up in the north is a real beauty of nature

[wheresshelly]

This was beautifully produced!
As someone who has followed these chasers for a while, it was great to get to know them a bit better and see their behind-the-scenes action. Can't wait for the next storm!

[ExtremAtmosfera_BrunoGoncalves]

Awesome film! It represents exactly my feelings! Congrats for this great work!

[karend]

That was a beautiful perspective from different people. I thoroughly enjoyed that, especially the strength the last lady had, especially with her autistic daughter. Xo

Fantastic! I had more than a few goosebumps moments.
Kylie, can fully understand your passion to get out there in amongst it. Incredible images and footage every one and thanks ABC ⚡️⛈🌩

What a superb documentary! I also love the accompanying music. Each one of these storm chasers are remarkable human beings who follow their dreams to get to see those bolts up close and personally. I love it when people do what they love to do, because I realize how happy they are! That's why Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel does what he does, and his father inspired him to do what he loves doing. I wish I'd had that type of support growing up, but I do now. I truly believe I wouldn't be here today if I wasn't doing what I love to do so much, and that's singing. Thank God for Pat Metheny, who himself may not sing, but what a musician and amazing human being!

[MrVal]

Great watch, have followed Jordan and Kylie's work for ages but now I'll have to watch out for Dan as well :)

[easterguts]

Phenomenal camera work by all involved. Well put together too. Your our ABC!

[krisdevlin]

I can totally relate to my fellow chasers in this story

[dieterkoch]

Such a great presentation. Would love to go up there one wet season and see it!

[stepheng]

Love it. Excelent work on the timelapse. One question. ABC stamp at the end says 2002? Would love to have seen this earlier. 🤔
