While on holiday in the Maldives, I experienced the best tropical storm I have ever seen. So I made this video of it! Do not be put off of going to the Maldives by watching this video! I was there 19 days and only had 2 major storms which were like this. But there actually great fun to witness. Theres a pretty good lightening flash at 2:20. Also notice during the long bit of video in the middle notice how bright it is a 20secs, then at 6:30, how dark it had become! It was amazing! There was some pretty awesome rumbles of thunder but, they cant be heard very well because of the wind and rain. Date: Sunday 11th April 2010 Time: 17:00 on-wards. Island name: Chaaya Reef Ellaidhoo
The fragile marine environment of the Indian Ocean is under serious threat from the effects of climate change. In the Maldives, some of the giants of the open seas are becoming endangered because their food supply is dying out. Stephen Cole reports from the Maldives.
