Lightning is an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. To learn more, read on here: https://on.natgeo.com/2IqDxtK
I'm sitting right here through a viscous, viscous thunderstorm
😍so beautiful,

The Multi Cell storm actually has a supercell embedded in it because if you slow it down, you can see a characteristic hook shape over Wynnewood which I believe it's the May 9th 2016 Katie Wyynewood tornado and the Mile Wide Sulphur Oklahoma EF3

Storms don't come from clouds. The proof of this is that there is more water in the oceans and yet there are no storms in the oceans. Thunderstorms are the result of a discharge of tension between the Earth and the Sun. During this discharge, the Earth's ionosphere is charged with voltage and when there are no clouds and the voltage is charged to a critical state, then lightning can strike even on a cloudless day. On the other hand, clouds accelerate the discharge of the Earth's ionosphere, because then the clouds behave like a condenser lining. Such a discharge takes place simultaneously between the ionosphere and the clouds and between the clouds and the Earth. This is evidenced by the visible flash of the cloud before the lightning strikes the Earth.
Isn't thunder the sound of the lightning hitting the ground? That's what I've heard. Also, you count between lightning and thunder divide by two and that's how far away from you the strike was (because light travels faster than sound). Can you confirm?
“The clouds then build and grow, sometimes as tall as 10 miles high”
10 miles = 52,800 feet 😳😳
Usually kids don't like to learn about the weather but this kid does
Funny thing is both my parents told me that I was born during a thunderstorm so I guess you could say that I came into this world in style lol. Could be why I'm so drawn to them a lot.
In the southeastern US, there's random afternoon thunderstorms almost every other day of the week during the summertime. They can be relaxing and nuisances at the same time.
BIG BOOBIES
the sound of thunder is not from breaking the sound barrier
If you're reading this, I hope that day comes real soon where your wildest dreams come true. Where you finally feel that you are at peace with yourself and your surroundings. May your life be full of joy, strength, light, and ease. May you lead a life full of positivity and greatness. You got this.
Thunderstorms are a common weather phenomenon that occur worldwide and come in four major types: single-cell, multi-cell, squall line, and supercells. They form when warm air rises, causing water to evaporate and form clouds that eventually produce rain. Thunderstorms help maintain the balance of energy and electricity in the atmosphere by releasing heat and regulating electrical charges. However, they can also be hazardous, causing fires, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Meteorologists study thunderstorms to predict their occurrence and ensure the safety of communities.
Thx you so much I'm glad I found this Because I am trying to Overcome my Fear of Storms.
watching this and eating while it thunderstorms is a vibe ngl
First and Foremost, thanks NatGeo for sharing such a priceless information. Secondly, for me one the best natural events that can exist. Whenever I imagine a storm or see a one, I wish I could be able to be laying down on my warm and comfortable bed. 🙂
Wao thx to God(Allah) who made these beautiful clouds…
Mt bom…🐳🌂❄

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Severe Storm Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
So a storm is like the earth sweating basically
YouTube is college
In Romania was a multi-cell at 1 am and was a loudest thunder in Romania and i almost died during this thunder
اللهم صلي على محمد وال محمد❤

Scary clouds
My favorite thing in the whole world! I love it when there is a big thunder and it shakes the ground! Makes me go primal lol
I learn in youtube more then school
A big thank you to Nat Geo! I have a deep passion for studying storms and weather in all their forms. Your sharing is truly appreciated
Oh😲
My auntie has a category 3 Hurricane and she has a sleep at a hospital and the hospital lives by the ocean 😰
In my experience fires happen more often by human hand than nature's hand.
The best storms are capable of producing tomatoes
There’s is nightmare’s castle
The thunder is caused by the heat expansion of the air caused by the high temperature of the lightning, not the speed of the lightning, I thought…
I had to write a essay on thunderstorms this helped ALOT
thank you for this video 🙂 respect to 💓🌎 and thunderstorms 🌨️⚡️
I watched this video durning my 6 sixth hour Physical Science Class, and Now I Know the types, and what causes it.
