- How does lightning form? Does it strike up or down? Over the decades I’ve seen lightning do some freaky stuff. In this visually stunning video we’re going to explore and explain the weird world of lightning.

BIRTH OF LIGHTNING in THUNDERSTORMS
Thunderstorms have the ability to separate pools of positive and negative charges in and around them, thus creating powerful electric fields. Lightning is born between two oppositely charged regions as a network of electrically conductive channels called leaders materialize and begin to tunnel a path through the poor conductive air in between. Think of leaders as a sort of jumper cable. The leaders branch out in two directions, each with opposite polarities toward both regions in an attempt to neutralize the charge separation.
CLOUD FLASHES or INTRACLOUD LIGHTNING
Most lightning flashes occur within the storm and are called cloud flashes or intracloud lightning.
GROUND FLASH or Cloud-To-Ground Lightning
When one end of the bidirectional leader network connects to the ground or object on the ground we call it a ground flash, or cloud-to-ground lightning. CG for short.
WHEN STEP LEADERS & UPWARD LEADERS MEET
In the most common CGs, a negatively charged step leader approaches the ground. The electric field between the step leader and the ground strengthens to the point that an oppositely charged positive leader (aka upward streamer) begins reaching up bridging the gap between the two. More than one upward leader may initiate and attempt to connect with the downward leader, however, the first to reach a downward propagating step leader will suddenly complete a channel path through the resisting air for the flow of powerful electrical current between the Earth and cloud. Electrons then RAPIDLY accelerate down the channel causing extreme heating and the brightest flash of the event. This is the return stroke of negative CGs. In rare photographs, you can see failed upward connecting leaders that didn’t reach, the downward leader first, and thus terminating into the air.
WHAT CAUSES THUNDER?
the air around lightning becomes So hot that it explodes as a supersonic shock wave that transitions to an acoustic wave within a few meters. This rapid expansion of air molecules creates sound waves that radiate outward about 1 mile every 5 seconds. The sound we hear is thunder.
WHY DOES LIGHTNING FLICKER?
Often after a negative CG return stroke, multiple other return strokes follow causing the main channel to flicker. This is called a multistroke CG flash.This repetitive nature is caused by recoil leaders forming on the upper end of the lightning channel in the cloud which is positive polarity.
COMMON POSITIVE FLASHES
The return stroke of typical positive CGs rarely flicker. Many occur between a positive pool higher in the thunderstorm, and the ground. Because of the greater distance the leaders have to blaze through the resisting air, the return stoke of these positive CGs is often much hotter, brighter and longer in duration. The peak charge in Positive CGs can be 10 times more powerful than a typical negative CG and thus considerably more dangerous. These are generally the most powerful CGs, reaching temperatures up to 30,000 Celsius. That’s roughly 5 times hotter than the surface of our Sun. Positive CGs only account for about 5-10% of all ground flashes worldwide, But In tornado Alley, they are an atypically common sight. I tend to see them just downstream of strong storm updrafts.
BOLT FROM THE BLUE
Sometimes a bolt of lightning can leap miles away from a storm jolting earthlings with surprise.
We call this a Bolt from The Blue. Outdated paradigms suggested these clear air channels leaping out the back of storms were positive in polarity. But the latest research using lightning mapping and high speed cameras have shown most of these startling zaps are indeed negative.
If you capture a Bolt from the Blue and it has a lot of branching, chances are it was a negative CG instead of a positive.
WHAT IS UPWARD LIGHTNING?
Sometimes storms can grow upscale into massive complexes stretching across states. These systems can have horizontally layered charge regions that serve as the conduit for lightning to travel over a 100 kilometers. They transfer HUGE amounts of charge, and cause abrupt changes in the electric field, which can trigger another flash in a sort of domino effect. Upward lightning travels UP from tall objects on the ground into the storm.This is ALSO called Ground-to-cloud lightning. Almost all upward moving flashes are triggered by a nearby lightning flash, either when leader activity or a return stroke occurs close enough to the tall object causing an abrupt change in the electric field. .
This video was possible thanks to lightning scientist Tom Warner’s research. For more in-depth information visit his website ZTresearch.com
Almost six decades on this planet, and nobody has ever explained the lightning phenomena as well as you just did.
Had lots of help from my lightning gurus Tom Warner and Mike Oneill. Cheers Turbo!

This is true.
I found 1 dislike why just why this is awesome content and and a educating video I’m very confused
Thank you very much for this.
It did distract me from "other news". I did have to watch it twice, well explained but lots of informarion
I live up north and have never seen lightning that you show. In 65 years have never seen red sprites either!
I have noticed in the last 5 years, that we have not gotten the number of storms that produce lightning and the intensity of the storms is reduced. We had on major storm last summer.
Wondering if anybody else is noticing the same.
Stay safe everyone! From storms and viruses!
Calling it now, Hank becomes that cool science teacher in high school that everyone adores when he's in his 60's.
Erm.. why don't we say "college"..
The hormonal flirty teenyboppers in HS would just distract and tease him..
..and possibly even get him in BIG trouble..

Always good to know lightning has strong positive leaders ✊

This needs to be pinned, lol
If only the world did, too......:-/
Lightning for president! 🌩⛈🌩
Me before I started watching Pescos Hank: Storm cool
Me after: Sits by the window during a storm with notebook recording every type of lightning and explaining everything to my family that's tired of it
Very good. Haha

😂 I was thinking how can this not be an amazing video. Pecos's god tier narration and quality video editing + one of nature's coolest phonema. Can't wait for the red sprites video, that should be good.
Yes! Yes!!! Now that I know how lightning works, I will pull it out of the shed and start using it first thing in the morning. I can’t wait!🤪
Hello! I'm fourteen years old, and I've been fascinated by storms my whole life. I stumbled across your youtube channel a few months ago and just wanted to say thank you for all of your explanations and incredible footage of weather phenomena. I appreciate your effort to explain what in some ways will never be understood completely. Happy trails!

Q: Does lighting strikes up or down ?
A: Yes
:D
My family does this all the time (answering "yes" or "no" to questions with expected "either-or" answers) ... this will be a happy addition! Though to be honest, I guess nobody else in my family really cares about weather in general.
Hank, the more I watch your videos, the more I appreciate your heart - your love and passion for music (which is awesome by the way!), storm chasing, weather, and even critters of all kinds. Thank you making this great video that helped me understand why when I was a kid (I'm still a 56 year old kid) I was struck by lightening while watering some yearling heifers under a chicken house with a sheetmetal roof on a dairy farm. My red heeler and I never should have been there. We both we standing under a soffit watching the storm, the torrential rain, and yes, the lightening show. The thing I remember the most was watching the hair on my red heeler suddenly rise up off her body then seeing the hair on my arms rise up then BAM! All I saw was red, the blood under my eyelids. It was so bright and hot! I ended up face down in manure ten feet away from where the lightening struck a hole in the roof behind us about 3x3. The inseam on my pants was blown open all the way down to my rubber boots which I was thankful I was wearing that day or I don't think I'd be writing these words to you. And thank goodness, my red heeler Queen Bee, lived too. Blessings.

I have always been fascinated by lightening and thunder storms. I love the wind and rain that comes with them and the temperature changes. Nature is so amazing!

"One could kill you. And the other, will likely kill you."
I can't say I like those odds, Mr. Hank.
im pretty sure he said one WILL kill you though...
byron kelly I heard “could” also lol
lmao
medical studies have shown that a lot more people get struck by lightning than hospitals are fully aware of. Often those presenting at ER with lightning-strike symptoms are not recognised because medics erroneously believe that getting struck by lightning is a death sentence, and that lightning strike symptoms will mirror any other form of electrocution. Lightning strike victims who are not hit on the head have a very high likelihood of recovering with no, or minimal, lasting symptoms.
I was struck on the arm and leg, and the medics were convinced I wasn't, because I didn't present with the symptoms they expected (of standard electrocution). But the charge with a lightning strike mostly discharges over the outside of the body, instead of entering the body and passing through it like electrocution from an electric device or the mains, which involves physical contact with the electrical device. Even though they could see something was wrong with me on the heart monitor, they thought I'd had a mini stroke, and wouldn't believe me.
It was only after looking into the medical literature that I found that most medics have no clue what the real symptoms of lightning strike are, (there's actually a paper covering the fact that most medics when surveyed were found to be ignorant) and that my symptoms were entirely typical of a lightning strike victim. And after that I found many other people who had experienced the same thing. Lightning strikes are actually very common, and not as dangerous as you'd think. The real danger comes if the strike hits the head first. Or passes through the heart. Then it is more likely to be fatal.

And my mom says I’m not learning. Hank, dude, you do better teaching than my 7th grade science teacher who’s taught science for 27 years.
not all teachers but some is the problem .... some just say open the book and teach ur self others explain in a more detailed easy to learn way thats why i like hanks videos
honestly it's probably because you're interested in this and not interested in 7th grade science.
@@zachperez8937to be fair, if science class isn't interesting that is the teacher's fault. I was barely passing high school chemistry until I swapped schools and had an interesting and interested teacher, and ended up with 98% and loving every class.
Came across your Channel and LOVE IT! Our home was struck by a large tornado two weeks ago and I have been fascinated ever since! My family is safe (we were in a closet under our staircase). Love learning how all of this stuff works. Your channel is amazing!
I am a very VERY young weather person, or you could say kid. This helped me so well, I have been looking for a lighting explanation. And when I found you, I just couldn't resist watching and subscribe. You are the best explainer of lightning and tornadoes
Pecos Hank, bringing us peaceful images, the best guitar licks and relevant information. Better than ANY news outlet. Thank you and Stay safe out there, pardner!
Thanks, I needed this. After 2 weeks of 14-17 hour days plus 2.5 hrs travel/day I came home early (13 hours of work) and was happy to be notified of your video; a blessed distraction. Stay safe my friend.
I don't know what you do, but I know it's important at the moment. Keep going, you are appreciated and doing a fine job.
As a child I was so afraid of lightning. Now I love to go out and watch the sky. Thankyou Hank for your educational clips.
Im still afraid, any solution 😭
@@dfuze6233 I started small by standing in the doorway to watch lightning. Now I'm ok to sit on the verandah and watch .
You are my favorite weather science/natural science guy on the internet. Your video quality is top notch, your demeanor is chill and enlightened, and your guitar playing is quite the addition to an already diverse set of talents you have. You are a modern day Renaissance Man!
"..by showing you scary tornados", LOL that garnered a hearty guffaw from yours truly. You're a highlight brother keep on truckin'
YOU'RE ALIVE!!! your videos cure my quarantine insanity :)
As someone who is absolutely frightened of lightning, i found this video really interesting! The way you explain everything in great detail, yet is easy to understand is excellent! It’s made me want to learn so much more about lightning to eventually overcome my fears! Next time we have another thunderstorm here in the UK i’ll definitely be watching it! Thanks Hank 😄!!
I have been struck twice on the ground and a few times in the air. I was towing a aircraft into it's hanger just as a large storm was approaching. The lightning hit the tail, through the plane, the tow bar and into the tug. Later you could see where a bolt hit the blacktop, went into the rebar, ran across the ramp about 50 ft and then blew out a chunk about 3 inches wide when it left.
Crew chief?
Such an Underrated Chanel
You could narrate a synopsis on HVAC condenser coils and make it interesting and compelling. Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video for the secluded masses riding out the invisible Cat V storm named Covid-19 that is ravaging our world. Prayers for all. Stay safe and well.
Lol would that normally be boring? Refrigerators are quite fascinating, now I'm a curious about HVAC condenser coils 😂. Not to belittle your point, totally agree.
Groan.
invisible is right!

By far, out of all of the channels that portray my interests, weather being in the top 3, Hanks channel is by far my favorite to watch. It’s like watching “how its made” or “how things work”…. For weather 😁. His enthusiasm is very genuine and inspiring. Now… if I could only afford a better camera I might quit my day job.
Stuck in my house and will get a charge out of this. Thanks Pecos Hank!
Be safer. Everyone please be safer!
I see what you did there. LOL!
Damn you beat me to that comment
Hey...hey....come on, man. What did we ever do to you?
I clicked so quickly
Same, It's not everyday Hank uploads.
Literally
Dont you mean Click-ly?...
Subscribe for more terrible puns and wording 😉
Lightning quick
I clicked it so fast i puked
This guy has probably earned my #1 storm chaser role, he is always entertaining and he teaches us so many things while being entertaining
Long time viewer… Watching this one for the first time three years after the fact. Best overview of lightning ever. You know your science and you’re a unique musician too! Peace.
NEW HANK OMG HE’S BACK
thank you hank for these very cool videos!!!
Man, hank always finds a way to make me intrested. Ive always wanted to learn a little about tornados and lightning, etc. Thanks for your work and your reserch.
I really enjoyed this video. It's very informative, as well as interesting. Excellent job, keep 'em coming, for I'm a lightning enthusiast.
Thanks for the video, Hank! Awesome as always!
I clicked to watch this, faster than lighting. :D
Need to get ya a slow mo camera.
lol
@@PecosHank I reckon I clicked the notification in under 1s from seeing it appear on my screen. Certainly worthy of a slow-mo camera to record my hand moving the cursor at lightning speed! ;) Hehe. :)
I’m disappointed
I watch this video every summer once the storms start rolling in. Such a fantastic video.
the amount of lightning that is happening here is phenomenal, this place hasn’t had this much in years.
I always feel smarter after watching Hank , love it ,love it , love it, bring on some more please! Stay safe Hank you're a beacon of light in our dark times!!!
Love your work mate! Appreciate the quality of your videos and cheers from Australia!
I have been 15 years on this plattform and love educational videos, and this is the best most well laid out video on HOW LIGHTNING WORKS that has ever been published on the net.
This is by far the best video explanation of lightning on the internet.
I literally just found this channel and subscribed like 2 hours ago. Been binging all the content I can the whole time. Good timing on my part xD
Glad you found us! Sit back and enjoy the best storm chasing videos the internet has to offer.
Man your in for a real treat. My favorite chaser channel by far. Because it's not just a chaser channel but a science channel is frigen awesome!
You won't be disappointed! If you look around, you'll find that lots of his photography grace many media - even the covers of movies! (The Last Witcher's cover with lightning is Hank's work.)
You're in for a treat. Check out his other channel too, Wild Snakes. I'm actually jealous of you, just discovering the joy of Pecos Hank. 😍
I've watched almost all of them multiple times.
Damm.. this is the best explanation I've ever seen on lightning. You, sir, are simply, THE BEST. Take care.
Clear, concise, extremely informative and delivered with a buttery, smooth voice.
My 9 yr old daughter and I liked this video so much we shared it with her teacher to show in class. So amazingly well explained and interactive too. Love it!!!
One of the few times where I put sleep on hold because gosh dang I am watching Hank first!
I feel you dude these videos are addicting
THANK THE LORD YOU POSTED. Made my whole isolation.
I just watched this with my friend's kids and when you get to the part where you ask the audience to guess if the lightning is positive or negative we all started yelling out. They got it right every time, and I got it wrong every time while shouting "damn you, Pecos Hank!". Then to add insult to injury you come on and say it's pretty easy to do!
Oh my goodness! Every time you discuss lightning I seem to gain more and more appreciation for it than I already had. Thanks for the knowledge!
Lightnings of one my favorite parts of this channel!!
This reminded me of how behind I am on studying lightning - I'm usually so focused on tornadoes. Lightning can be pretty under-appreciated, both in aesthetics, and in the danger they pose.
I was walking in the rain and asked my self “how does lighting work and how does it make a sound?!?” Now I’m here
Thanks Hank. Your professor would be proud. This video should be instant teaching aid.

Such a brilliant, clear explanation. I knew a little bit about this but you have helped me understand this amazing subject so much better - and corrected my mistaken understanding of the direction of lightning. Thank you.

I like de-stressing watching Pecos Hank's Lightning and Tornadoes. Soooo relaxing.
im always on the look out for well explained lightning videos like this and they usually suck but this one was actually easy to understand
Sooo...... actually probably the happiest person to have Hank here because I absolutely love weather, and he’s taught me a lot and is helping me along the way! I know I’m too young to decide......but I really want to be a meteorologist and this is really cool to see! Thanks so much Hank!
I see a new Pecos Hank video, I click like. Howdy, Hank!
Yesssss I’ve missed your content! I’ve watched so many of your videos and learned a plethora of facts that are really fun to share. Thank you sir.
outstanding! THIS is what i/we needed to see. Always a fun game to see the face/hair after listening to the voice for a duration. Excellent video.
Amazing video pal! I wanted to learn basics of lightning for my project. I got the basic idea in first 3mins of your video. Yet couldn't stop knowing more. Amazing!
This is the most informative piece of media I've ever seen regarding lightning. I learned a lot. Amazing. Love it.
Literally cant wait til tornado season comes into full effect. Love your videos ❣
I have been watching your channel since around 2010 and I swear I learn more watching a few of your videos than I do and entire week of school lol! Love the content keep it up man! You are an inspiration to my photography obsession
As I've mentioned before, I love lighting!!! When I strike up conversations about incoming stormy weather and people are concerned about Tornadoes, Hurricanes and Derecho's I explain how if we could harness the power of these storms we'd never need fossil fuels again. One major Hurricane (Cat3 or more) can provide all the energy the United States would need w/a surplus. One lighting bolt can provide one average US household w/one month of energy and one small lighting storm can provide NYC w/a month of power. It's amazing and I appreciate the time you put in for this video Hank. Stay safe out there and keep the videos coming.
I enjoy your videos especially because of your voice, it's comforting.
Yay! Hank is here. Thank you for the informative video. Yes, I waited till it was over to comment. “A bolt of the blue” was fascinating! Pos/Neg was super educational. As we head into storm season whilst homeschooling, this is definitely a lesson in Science. Thank you, Hank. Sending love, healthy health and best wishes to you and the Mrs. xoxo
I love ground-up lightening. Fascinating.
Great work! This was by far one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched on CZcams! Definitely going to keep an eye out for various styles of negative/positive CG. Though down here in Perth, Australia, we get about 7 major lightning heavy thunderstorms per year. Fingers crossed!
Found these videos trying to figure out why there’s rapid, repeated flashes of lightning but with no thunder... not disappointed

Finally! I've been waiting for this!! How's the storm season looking so far Hank?
Ask me again in a week. Cheers Vincent.
Whaaaaaaat? That “bolt from the blue” usually being negatively charged is totally new info for me. I was under the impression they were ALWAYS positive. The ones I’ve experienced have usually had that percussive “crack” normally associated with positive lightning, to boot. Maybe that’s a myth as well?
@Pecos Hank Many thanks to you and your lightning gurus for such a great explanation. I've been in software engineering for 30 years. It saddens me when technical people can't find a way to explain something to people who are not technical, in a way they can understand it. You definitely achieved that goal. Kudos!
Fantastic video Hank. I was fascinated by lightning when I was in grad school in meteorology many years ago, and your explanation of it here is spot-on and has so many excellent examples. Really well done.

So happy ur back Hank! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. My sons loved it. The pop quiz part was amazing....my husband and I joined in as well. I was a beautiful family moment learning about something old but very new. Many thanks!

Hi Hank I hope you are keeping safe also a big hi from the 🇬🇧
I have a degree in meteorology and none of my textbooks discussed Lightning like you just did. Nice work.
I’m scared of lightning and my anxiety kicked in while watching this video.
@@Gaudine I have it too and still sleep in the basement sometimes at night. If it’s really bad. Daytime doesn’t bother me much at all. Hang in there
After 4 years of studying storms Pecos hank is still my favourite storm CZcams channel
A few summers ago, I was in a motorhome in a middle of a field when a huge electrical strom appeared. I was always told that being in a car was one of the safest places to be during a lightning strom, but I was in a fiberglass bodied motorhome. I thought for sure we were going to get hit by lightning in the middle of that field, but we didn't. It's kinda scary being the tallest thing in a eletrical storm.
Just showed this video to my five year old and she says “hey! Lightning isn’t so scary! It’s pretty!” Thanks Hank!!
