Описание: #ElectricSkyUK Storm 0129, 0306 BST 23rd October 2022 | Exeter/Dawlish, Devon, UK.

SPEED MONTAGE VERSION (using original video and audio)
See    • T0129 | Powerful Thunderstorm Knocks Out P...   for full real-time footage.

Best Viewing: HD or 4K with bassy sound system or quality headphones. Video sound has been normalised for high-dynamic range, so starts quiet and gets louder.

In the eerie quiet of the early hours, a monster was brewing on the east coast of Devon. A continued pump of southerly tropical air (14-15C 850hpa WBPT) over the last 4 days was about to undercut a series of strong autumnal Atlantic troughs. This resulted in great unseasonal instability, this being the first taste. Initially, distant flashes were visible to the SE of Exeter roughly once a minute, then, a power flash on the horizon, then a distant CG barrage became evident over the Exminster/Kenn/Kenton area coupled with distant cannon-fire thunders (high-amp). This was heading straight for me. As it rolled over Exeter, the CG barrage ended but the lighting continued at upper levels, obscured by the cloud as C-C or I-C lightning. The rain came in so heavy that I could no longer film from the Velux window in the roof, so migrated to the conservatory where my view was somewhat limited. I managed to experiment with my Pro-audio recorder and captured a few thunders at 96kHz high definition quality (140dB max) of which I've included one in the video (turn that volume up!). It then eased quietly northwards, still flashing. A trailing cell 10 minutes later then gave a final flash, before it all cleared away.

Power cuts reported in Dawlish, Teignmouth, Ashburton, EX4 and EX6 Exeter.
