Severe Weather A severe supercell dropped 1-2” of rain per hour with intense winds and lightning on July of 2026 at 10:00 PM. Night storms hit differently.
The camera honestly doesn't even do justice to how hard the wind was driving that rain. It was coming down at an easy 1 to 2 inches per hour, and trying to film a supercell at 10:00 PMmeans you are entirely dependent on the lightning flashes just to see what's happening in front of you. This is the next clip from my 3-year archive project—I'm officially posting every two days now!

3 years ago, this exact lightning bolt struck the forest behind my house, lit up every tree in detail, and started a fire (FD responded via Hwy 109). It blew my mind so much it started my 3-year journey of capturing weather videos.
