Never-Before-Seen Lightning Timelapse! 8 Years Later ⚡

Here’s a look at never-before-seen lightning footage from summer2018. 🌩️

Eight years in the making!

On June 18, 2018, I captured nearly 1,000 photographs of an incredible lightning storm just south of St. Cloud, Minnesota.

I always wanted to turn these images into a time-lapse, but life and work got in the way.

Now, eight years later, I’ve finally had time to go back through the archives and bring this storm to life! And this is one of many never-before-seen gems just locked away in the digital vault that I have finally organized and finally publishing.

Epic Lightning on the tornado warned storm in Freeborn county just south of the town of Hartland that was hit with a possible tornado. Footage then continues with an extensive damage survey of the down showing numerous building and homes damaged including damage to the back side of the post office, a destroyed bank and several severely damaged businesses and homes. I split these up into two videos to since it took a while to edit the Komodo footage.

It looks like a busy holiday week with weather in Northern Minnesota. I’m still checking the forecast for the rest of the country, but I’m trying to figure out how I can get caught up with work and get out to chase the next severe event to document more lightning footage next month with some of the southern storms.
