wow u could oF gotten ur self killed u ediot try to stay safe geez and I still can't believe that happen I'm so surprised P.S. try to stay safe u EDIOT geez
Last week we were having dinner and watching the Redskins-Colts game at the Capital City Brewery in Shirlington, VA. We were sitting right next to the window when a powerful T-storm rolled in. All of a sudden lightning struck the lamp post right outside our window and sparks came down just like in this video. An alarm went off in the restaurant and all the TVs froze. Scared the hell out of us!!
You shouldn't be standing so close to lightning to get up close and personal with mother nature, lightning actually strikes a fairly large amount of people and takes away their hearing, gives them a hear attack, or causes death. And that's not cool, dude!!!lol
Nice job not panicking and keeping the camera steady during the strike. You could probably trim this up and get rid of the first 2 3/4 minutes though. Lightning strike is at 3:10.
Wooooow :O we never have that much lightning here in sweden, well not as long as i've lived i haven't seen so much lightning! :o and iam a little afraid of lightning .. ^^'
When you went outside to look at it after the storm (you did, didn't you?) was there a small "puddle" of solidified metal on the ground? Because it looked like the metal had melted.
Careful what you ask for. I made that mistake once and a ball of lightning floated within a few feet of my face before shooting into the garden next door and exploding with a bang so loud that it smashed a green house and almost gave me a nervious breakdown.
@epicrUGGraT Yeh I know the street lamp is still there, I only said the LAMP wasn't burning anymore. maybe I made my point in my first comment as if the street lamp at all dissappeard, I didn't mean that, you are right. I ment the lamp wasnt burning ;)
@6amoney Yeah, why does he waste our time with 3 minutes of cars passing by on the street and his hand in front of the camera. This video has 5 seconds of interest. It's what video editing is for.
@jeffburtonfan it's also easy to cut a video or at least warn that it's at the end of the video, that way it's not annoying but enjoyable. I'm not a mind reader, I can't be expected to know exactly when it's supposed to happen in the video if I haven't watched it yet so I can't skip ahead if I don't know when it happens in the video, think about that before replying.
I know it was real, I was there. It was so bright..I could not see anything for a second.And that noise wow. The air got warmer, and I noticed the transformer burning..And it got dark..I found chunks of porcelin lying under the transformer. They had a lot of burns on them..That thing got blown apart.
omg i had this happen right outside my house to it was so funny though cuz my sister was like lets go run in the rain and im like uhh... no fuck that so as soon as she stepped of the porch lightning struck the power box thingy
Where was this? Did you feel the hair stand up on the back of your head right before the strike? If so, you were sensing the build-up of the electric field. If you ever feel that happen when you're out in the open, hit the dirt as quickly as possible but minimize your contact with it. Crouch down in a ball.
Lightning is to be taken very seriously... i lost my penis due to a lightning strike...it struck the highest structure near me, which happend to be my cock. =(
