Awesome Lightning Storm i filmed

Last night there was a lightning storm towards the Birmingham area, it's the first storm of this type i have seen in my life, just lightning, no thunder or wind, or rain, so i got out the camera and began to film.

Here are some stills aswell.

I had to edit through over an hours worth of video to get all the lightning strikes together










Video will be up soon, im still trying to figure out Sony Vegas Pro and why it only uploads 25 seconds out of a 3 minute video

NIce! I love lightning storms. I filmed one that came out of nowhere a few weeks ago but my camcorder is kind of crappy so it doesn't look all that great.

I look forward to the video!

Seen such storms around my hometown. They are great - they lost a lot of awesomeness when filmed, which they are when you are observing them close, real time and with all the senses included.

Anyways, some cool images

I saw some pics of that same storm somewhere else, not the same pics mind you.
That cloud formation is hard to miss.

Carry on.

Lightning is sick!
Bring on the lightning!

Video up



It's not as dramatic as the ones you get in the states, but this was the first heat lightning ive ever seen

That's a cool thunderhead. I saw a very similar one during my vacation here in Oregon out in the desert. We couldn't hear the thunder as it was too far away, but the lightening was awesome. Nature can create great shows, thanks for sharing it!

Great film, lucky you. I love thunderstorms. We don't get enough of them.

Nice ones Hadyn I hear it was quite a storm (for England). Down in Evesham we had nothing at all, as usual I've yet to even have a chance to photograph lightning - since getting a camera up to the task 3 years ago!

Edit: I've posted a link to the youtube page on UKweatherworld for some of my fellow UK weather geeks to see

Hey, I saw a storm of that night too. Well, kind of anyway lol. I live in cleethorpes on the east coast and due east of me there was a storm very much like the one you saw. The thing I found strange was, regardless of how big/bright the flashes of lightning were, not once did I hear any thunder I've never experienced a storm like that before.

The most gutting thing about it was the fact that all I could see were indirect flashes as the houses across the road were blocking my view haha.

Anyways, thanks for the video dude, gotta love storms eh?
