The tram that takes you to the top is more frightening than a lightning strike.

Well, everyone in the Elevators is going to panic about being stuck because of "power outages"!!! LOL

Congrats Dan! Great capture. It's also interesting to see how the light reflects off the arch in the 2nd strike.

To anyone who thinks this is dangerous it's not. The arch has lightning rods, which will deflect any lightning harmlessly to the ground so nobody gets hurt.

day of the 1d concert

go to the Cardinals game in St Louis great view of the arch

I’m curious if it’s grounded enough that people can be or have been in the arch during this?

I was there for World championships for first robotics!!! I'm on the Grizzly robotics team from Ypsilanti Michigan

So what was it reported after it hit are at least that rainy day was any reports made of any disturbance inside with electrical

I have heard that Missouri's the "Show Me" state. What exactly is it you want me to show you? Hmmm?

Is that the reasom the top of it is shaded?

imagine shooting these in MAX FPS it would look sooooo cool

Zeus just trying to scare us out of our toasted ravioli, smh.

was anybody inside the Arch at the top during this and can they please get interviewed about this amazing strike. Hope no one got hurt

If you are in the arch when lightning strikes it wont kill you. The metal creates a 'Faraday Cage' around you so the bolt grounds itself into the earth.

Wow i never seen this i always wondered what would happen

I told you that yellow hamster was no joke!

Nou zeg dat is een flinken straal van de onweer zeg maar. Ik heb een vraag 😕hoe kom je aan die onweer filmpjes

I feel early even though all the comments were years ago lol

I wonder what the people who commented years ago on this video are doing now

Never go up there when its raining!

Bless that person inside of there

I just now remembered Dan that while I was in Branson in 2018, I experienced a severe thunderstorm warning while I was riding with my parents and my sister in the car. My sister was, I think, 9 years old and it was I think probably her first severe thunderstorm. While we were there in Branson and while we were heading back to the motel that a motel room that we rented for a week and while we were in Branson we went to Silver Dollar City and what not and my dad rode the new time travel ride at the time. Get it? Because it's time travel. Anyways, that was a tragic event. I have been really anxious about going back to Silver Dollar City since the illegal coronavirus pandemic. And on the 22nd of May, 2019, there was a severe thunderstorm which produced an EF5 tornado, which severely damaged most of Central Missouri, including the Woods grocery store here in Eldon, and it freaked me out because it was a very deadly store.

Fortunately no tragedy and no visitors inside the top for city view
