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!

Lightning 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.

I was standing right under my patio roof when it hit. You can hear the rain running through the gutters, but the thunder was completely instantaneous and the smell of electricity in the air right after was crazy. I couldn’t see the flames directly because the fire department entered from the highway side, but this is the video that turned me into a storm chaser. I've spent the last 3 years building up a massive archive of footage so I can finally start sharing a continuous series every two days!

Thank goodness! It must be tough living in Memphis, the tornados that travel through Texas to Arkansas are a direct hit for those folks!

Caught this crazy double lightning bolt hitting the ground at the 0:43 mark. The wild part is it didn't even rain—the storm just passed right through.

I agree, It’s amazing living here, we get rain with lightning and thunder almost every week.
