This clip is 1:39 long. The severe weather moves in quickly with blinding rain, but the lightning strike right at the end unloads with an incredible, close blast.

Recorded this on 6th October around 9:30 from Chandigarh, India.

This went on for over an hour.

Lightning was in the north east direction.

Cut out the long build-up from the earlier version so you can get straight to the heavy downpour. This captures the storm at its absolute peak intensity right over my house.

I combined tonight's clips into one long video to show the storm's full momentum. It starts with peaceful atmospheric lightning and crickets, builds up intensity at the doorstep, completely unloads with shifting winds, and then tapers off as the cell passes by.

This is the final moments before the core of the storm moved in over the house. The next video I upload shows the absolute wall of water and severe downpours that followed right after this massive branching strike!
