Thunderstorm watching?
Okay, so I have a fascination with thunderstorms and would really like to take a trip to a region of the world with biblical thunderstorms.
Any suggestions? I heard Uganda and some parts of Asia (Indonesia specifically), have a large amount of storms per year.
Also, does anyone have any good sites with long recordings of storms? Longer than 10 minutes preferably.
Thanks.

I looked around, but had a hard time finding some good videos that have the length you wanted.
I did check out the weather underground page of photos and videos, you can look at live webcams around the world. I thought that was cool.

I grew up on the Pacific Coast, and never really knew the beauty of lightning and roaring thunder until I moved to Colorado. I'm currently living in the Gulf Coast area and I'm still amazed at the amount of lightning and thunder I get see on a regular basis.
You might not need to go to anywhere too exotic to catch a good show.

says that both Colorado and Florida both have unique geographical elements that give them 'best in show' honors for storms.
If you want to go somewhere more exotic, just pick a country or area along the equator and you shouldn't be disappointed.
The video I found on Youtube reminded me of a storm that just passed a few days ago that came up through the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy.
