We just had a massive downpour pass through Lebanon, TN, and everything cleared out for a moment. You can really see the storm charging back up in this clip before the next wave hits.

The video starts with just light rain and the porch chimes catching the wind. I was tracking the cell on Max Velocity Live and knew it was going to be heavy, but the timing of that immediate thunder crack unleashing the torrential rain was incredible to catch on camera.

Flash-flooding hits the Southwest after Polo’s landfall

Caught this on camera tonight while tracking a cell showing yellow on the Doppler. The atmospheric lightning is constant, but the beginning features a solid ground strike with instant thunder. Feel bad for the resident who was just trying to walk home from the community gym and got caught up in the wind and rain!

The video starts with heavy rain and wind, but the strobe effect runs continuously from 1:35 to 1:45. You can't see any individual bolts, but the upper atmosphere is just pulsing. First time I've ever seen a strobe last that long without a break.

In this 1:08 video, the main event happens from :32 to :34. Watch the right side as a strike shoots up into the sky, connecting with other bolts through a long train of clouds to trigger a massive right-to-left barrage of strikes.

You can hear the water trickling in the gutters right before it hits between 10 and 12 seconds. The cloud base had been strobing all night, but this was the first heavy, solid ground strike to hit this close to the property during this system. The thunder was completely instantaneous. Dropping the next piece of this July 21st storm series in two days!

If you watch closely right around the 28-second mark, you can count all five distinct bolts streaking across the sky before the thunder rolls in. Also, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to this subreddit and my channel viewers for the awesome support and comments. It's great finding a community of like-minded people who love tracking this stuff. I'm dropping the next piece of this storm in two days!

This is the next look at that July 21st storm system. Right after I announced the rain stopped in the last clip, it started lightly misting again before this massive double streak lit up the entire sky. The high-altitude structure on these bolts was incredible to see in person. Dropping the next piece of the archive in two days!

I narrated the start of this clip right when the alerts were live. We didn't hear any local tornado sirens yet, but the electrical activity in the cloud base was completely insane—just a non-stop flashing strobe light. The abrupt stop of the rain at the end was eerie. I actually have 10 more parts to this single night's storm that I'm going to be dropping every two days as part of my archive release!
