Video Description

A complex of storms developed southwest of Denver and trained over the western suburbs for over an hour with a dramatic display of lightning and some moderate to heavy rains which caused some minor street flooding in the storms' wake.

Video package opens up with 35 seconds of 13 different lightning strikes before the storm moves into Denver. This section was shot in Lakewood looking west toward Red Rocks Amphitheater near the foothills.

Transitions to a couple POV shots during the storm from Colfax Ave near I-70 along I-70 heading north toward Wheat Ridge.

Next sequence of minor street flooding along Kipling south of I-70 in Wheat Ridge after the storm had passed. Various shots of traffic driving through standing water with lightning from the storm as it moves north from Denver lightning up the sky.

After street flood shots, a couple shots of Denver West Shopping Center which power was knocked out likely due to a close proximity lightning strike. Two shots, including one of a person walking in headlights and one of a headlight illuminated dark building.

Last couple shots of cars in the rain as the storms end.
