Ever wonder why some thunder rumbles on forever? It usually comes down to a massive type of lightning called an anvil crawler, and the simple physics of how sound travels. Here is why it happens.

Neat. What with the sudden shot gun blast ones? The thunder that booms so loud you can feel the sound waves hit you but it only lasts a second? Scares the bejeses out of me!

Bro, more of this! A whole series on t-storms, naders, thunder, etc. Standalone videos on each component of a storm!

That’s my home Course!! My grandpa was the rec/golf director back then when it was built - so cool to see it on the Ryan Hall feed 🤣🤣

It’s “Heat Thunder?!”

Thanks for the explanation ! Your weather reports are a great help

I kid you not, we had a small storm roll through northern Illinois yesterday evening where rolling thunder didn’t stop the entire 45 minutes it stormed. I thought I was tripping and a tornado was approaching at first lol

Meanwhile, hundreds of armchair experts loosing their minds over “heat lightning”.

Heat lightning???

Here's my image from Suffolk looking towards Newport News tonight.

The mountains also create an echo.

Good to know Thanks ☺️

My lady was dropping anvil crawlers all night! Yep. It works.

i have wondered too if in complex rotational, vertical, wind conditions were involved. doppler effects. low rumbles ride wind blowing away, higher and less attenuated frequencies sooner from wind blowing toward you. wind direction changes along the way. etc.

And the wild turkeys gobble back at the thunder. Coolest thing ever!

Until you’ve heard New Orleans thunder…

Echoing off the firmament 😉

I was going to ask this on the previous live stream. Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks. I’ll add that to my Weather Dad tool box and impress the kids next storm.

We had a cloud yesterday here in Coshocton, OH that passed just to the north of town but rumbled thunder for about 15 minutes as it slowly went about its day
