At 15:27 the man near the truck was hit in the foot by the lightening going through the ground. You can see sparks under his foot just before he fell. That is why he was limping and pain showed on his face when he tried to get away and fell to the ground again.

You are 100% correct! I had thought the same thing. But when the narrator guy said he wasn't I just let it go. But when I was reading comments & saw this I went back slowed it down & zoomed in. Your right, it sure did travel through the ground & got at least the one guy! Nice catch👍

Also, in separate storms, two houses across the street, and house next door were struck when I was a young child. Still terrified of thunderstorms today, in my 50s….

While I was in the Navy,a squall kicked up on the Chesapeake bay. I was standing on the fantail or stern of the ship with a few others when there was a brilliant light and huge crack as a bolt of lightening hit the water about 50 yards before us. It was close enough it singed arm hairs.

Years ago when I lived in Colorado thunderstorms and lightning were very common during the summer. There was a woman who was in a bathtub and a lightning bolt came through the faucet and killed her. Water + electricity = a bad ending.

Lived in Yuma AZ for 5 years, and monsoon season during fall/winter is nothing to sneeze at. Driving home from a shift at night in 2001, it was blessedly raining and then lightning struck a transformer 30 feet away. We coasted to a stop, since the vehicle died, once we could see again: it was so bright, bluish-white and the sound was instant. The rain put out the transformer fire and our vehicle started again after that pause. Safest place to be is inside a vehicle. Edit: 21:42 it's not the outside moisture along the path of the strike, but the tree sap instantly boiling from the heat and the steam release while under pressure, all in micro-seconds.

But odd, there was something cool and hard against my forehead, "What could that be?" I yawned and my eyes fluttered open and ,, It was a steering wheel !!! I then became aware of the downpour and other drivers at the intersection stopped and staring at me. The EMP or some portion of the charge had shut off the truck and myself as well. Instant, like throwing a switch. The truck restarted with the key, never was right again, some circuits just gone. Could say the same about me, but neither I nor anyone around ever noted a difference. Then again,, I have had a few screws loose all my life. Mensa, mildly dyslexic. No way to tell. No baseline.

In the 1970s I was fishing with a friend under the wharf at the port of Fremantle West Australia to keep out of the rain when a bolt of lightning struck the water about 6 to 8 feet in front of us, our ears were ringing for 3 days as well. We also had the imprint of the lightning in our eyes for a fair while. (It was a Whiteish Blue bar just under a metre across) Luckily it was low-tide or we would have had our feet dangling in the water.

Doing a cross country motorcycle trip, driving through the desert in Nevada, middle of nowhere on Rte 50 - "The loneliest Highway in America" - and I got caught in a thunderstorm. There was NOWHERE to seek shelter, so all I could do was be a moving target, had two different lightning bolts about 5 minutes apart hit not more than 50 feet from me. Talk about bright and loud!

Lightning strikes where it wants, and not always the highest object.

Had a lightning bolt hit a huge Cottonwood Tree across the street from me. I was on the telephone and just happened to look out the window about 2 seconds before it struck the tree......the brightest light, and the tree exploded. Not to mention the sound. It litterally "skinned" the bark off the tree, and split it. Pieces of the tree went everywhere. Like to scare me to death. Was a block away from downtown Bozeman, Montana. It killed the tree and the city had to come and cut down that big ole tree....

That volcanic lightning was awesome

15:30 … actually, the man did receive a jolt from the lightning as it travels outward through the ground. This same situation occurred in a friend’s life along with his girlfriend. She dropped immediately. He walked away as this guy did and then dropped unconscious for a bit. They both had to go to the hospital to be treated. The lightning struck the ground about 20feet away from where they were getting on his motorcycle.

I was on an, unfortunately, very small plane many years ago. Maybe 15 passengers. It was a puddle jumper between Ithaca NY and Albany NY. There was a thunderstorm visible on the horizon. The Captain said, "you may see flashes of light out your window. FLASHES OF LIGHT??!!?? You mean lightning?? We're not stupid! The lightning wasn't the issue. It was, however, the roughest flight I've ever been on and I started to get a bit queasy. Thank goodness it was only a 45 min. flight!

Lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the sun.

I've had a bolt strike about 50 feet away from me. I happened to be looking straight at it. It's absolutely terrifying, and will just about rattle the fillings out of your teeth. Extremely loud stuff.

Lightning has been my nemesis for most of my life... Just happy to be here with all the close calls I have had over the years. I imagine quite a few of you watching this feel the same way!!

Been knocked on my butt a few times as well, thanking God I didn't get a direct hit but no lasting damage to me physically. I bet many of you watching this have similar tales to tell!

and for those that do NOT know... lightning can travel i think it is up to 100 meters or around 325+ feet... also if it hits sand it will make glass sculptures...

I'm amazed by these unbelievable moments

Their blunders are absolutely priceless

most do NOT realize how loud thunder is, i was about 50 foot(about 15 meters) away from a lightning strike but it was not a small one like a lot of these that are close to them this was a big thick bolt and it almost knocked me out of the back of a pick up truck... yeas the vibration from BOTH the bolt and the thunder is massive also

In 1966-'67 I was spending the night at a friend's house when lightning hit a house a block or two away.

I grew up on a lake, we had a 30 ft lighting rod mounted on the end of our dock, lighting would hit that rather than out house, it was a spectator sport growing up. It may be the reason I didn't jump when lighting struck the road in front of my armored car, my poor passenger freaked out though. I heard him telling the super about it, he said I didn't react to it, and must have ice water in my veins. But I did react to it, I said, "Oh sh*t".

Life can be done. Just like lightning. A start and a end. "It's only temporary"

Years ago I was on the Eisenhower Expressway just west Chicago and the lightening struck one of the tall street lights, about 50 yards ahead of me. Little balls fire were still falling when I got there.

It wouldn't be easy to store that energy since it's sudden and unpredictable. And even if you could store that energy, where do you store that instant jump in energy? Charging it into a battery would cause the battery to explode due to a sudden and excessive current. As for capacitors, it would be huge and stationary. No guarantee a lightning will strike it every time.

One summer, I was working at the front desk of a motel and campground in the Canadian Rockies. I lived in a trailer on the back end of the property. One day, a thunder and lightning storm was working it's way down the valley towards us - very bright and very loud.. Lightning hit the trailer where some other employees lived; it literally blew a hole through the roof and into the trailer. Another bolt hit our water well - All of my lights were turned off, but the lightning strike turned all of my lights back on..Took a couple of days to get the well repaired; in the meantime, no one had running water. A couple of years later, while I was in college, I was living in an apartment in downtown Calgary. Watched the lightning hit the building across the street. Quite spectacular.

As shown in that one clip. some lightning travels from the ground to the clouds above. When i was in Junior High, our principal told us of when he was struck by lightning. He was a farmer at the time, and while out in a field on his tractor, an electrical storm came up suddenly and lightning struck him. He was knocked out of the seat of the tractor, he had a bald spot the size of a quarter on his head (the lightning evidently hit him in the button on top of his cap, which in those days was cloth-covered metal) and burnt through the soles of his shoes as it passed through him, traveling through the tractor into the ground. He said it was one of the most frightening things that had ever happened to him.

I also love thunder and lightening. In the early 80s, we were at a park, and a lightning bolt hit the tree we were sitting under. I lost my hearing completely. At that moment, i knew how deaf people live. I could not hear anything at all . But after a couple minutes it started coming back. I was so afraid I was going to be deaf at that time. We all lost our hearing.

Planes getting struck in the air are usually safe, but on the ground, the bolt end up going through the landing gear linkages, wheel bearings, wheels, and tires, so all of those parts will likely need replacement. In fact in the video shown, you can see that happening at the wheels, 7:34.

I was driving home one night and lightning struck a tree as i was driving past. I remember just seeing red for quite a few seconds. Thankfully no other cars were nearby and i didnt crash. The thunder was immediate and deafening.

I was in a 747, leaving Johannesburg, South Africa, when the plane was hit by lightening just about 15 seconds after take-off. It sounded like we had been hit by another 747. Quite a few passengers screamed in fear.

Lightning discharges are powerful enough to generate a substantial amount of x-rays. Also, if you're on a tall mountain peak during lightning buildup, metal objects like wire attached to the ground can start to buzz as coronal discharge happens due to the high potential building up. If you ever hear that it's a good time to get to lower altitude ASAP as lightning can soon follow. And back in the dialup modem days, people's modems could be burned out if lightning hit near the phone lines....

You know it's there you just can't tell what it's going to do next. Almost like a magician but on steroids.

I once found a piece of a tree that had been blown off with enough force that it cut a trench 8 inches wide and about 6 inches deep that was about 100 yards long. The piece of wood was about a yard long, 8 inches wide and 4 inches thick. Solid oak is pretty hard and heavy too. It was in a hay field and we found pieces of that tree scattered in every direction with pieces of bark as much as 150 yards away. We found a branch in another treetop that was about 50 yards away. I actually saw the lightning hit the tree before the rain started and saw debris falling and burning leaves floating in the air. I have seen a lightning strike the ground just a few feet away from me and once had lightning hit a bridge just a couple feet from my car.
