In very close lightning hits you don't hear thunder as a regular sound wave, but rather as a shock wave. That would be the case here. Glad those people stayed in that car! Could have been disastrous.
similar video like this one on my channel tooken from my bro on his ipod.. happened several times in a matter of an hour or so.. the one caught on video was the fourth and final time :P you dont see the lightning but still a sick red flash you see very clearly ;)
@momscookingtofu I was kinda wondering if that's what happened. Like when you rub a balloon on your hair... it sticks.... accept this was obviously a hell of a lot more electricity. I would have damn near crapped my pants.
@momscookingtofu ...that was your...'moment o' grace' ...for all probability, you should be dead or seriously burned. What had happened -even though you were indoors...was the open window was enough for a "feeler-stream" of charged, ionized air to make contact w/you! Every lightening bolt follows these little streams of ions -following the ones w/least resistance until a full ground-circuit is formed
You WERE struck-Ur alive only because ONE feeler(across the street) made a faster circuit!!!
i once had a dream that i threw AA batteries at one of those, and it exploded.

Transformer exploded, but not from a lightning strike.

Most of those at the point of a lightning strike never actually hear thunder.

There didnt seem to be a loud thunder from the strike, when im that close to lightning it sounds like a massive boom and then a rumbly roll
