deadly lightning

[tanrio11]

I've come kinda close too i've had lighning come that close to our Tin roof it's not even funny

[mricksgers]

nice resident evil music

[MoltovSamson]

i like the resident evil musikc!!! LOL

[mpowellmpowellmpowel]

Cool! What artist did the background music at the slow motion part after the lightning strike?

[miloownd]

2:01 just a reflection in your cameralens  and 2:08 also -.-

[ginaFDNYbrat]

that definitely looks like a streamer! you could have been killed if a bolt connected to it!

[pharbizorg]

Ya that was very close for sure, but lucky you it was just the streamers failing to make a connection. Too bad you didn't have a video of yourself at that exact moment. You might have seen a streamer coming off your head.

[MikeysGirl2105]

Nice Resident Evil 4 music

[Avalon041167]

Excellant video. Well done.

[HipHopJun]

god damn i would shit my pants.

[camelloops]

yeah people think this shit wasnt real ..amazing nowadays you could film a real ufo and noone would belive it!!streamers......

[Un1234l]

Of course people would believe it. A UFO = an Unidentified Flying Object.

[matoroismyhero]

UFOs are dentified.There called UFOs so they have a name....by the way scary lightning

[Un1234l]

I didn't understand what you were trying to prove. What's that got to do with my comment?

[matoroismyhero]

UFOs are dentified

[HauntedGhostLady]

Many years ago weather photographer Warren Faidley was getting ready to shoot a storm in the desert. He set up a camera on a tripod and set a timer to automatically shoot at regular intervals. He got to a safe place and started shooting with another camera. He then got a shot of a "streamer" bolt at the same place he set up the tripod minutes earlier. Streamer bolts can be just as dangerous as the bolts seen by the naked eye.

Good shots. I'm glad you're safe.

[54spiritedwill54]

Thats just a reflextion from an out of shot lightning bolt

[Hotmealssus]

I like this vid. It's relaxing. Reminds me of home...

[CandleLites]

omg, so funny, its thundering where i am in brookyn now

[NSantoro704]

yeah i live there too

[chargerfish1]

well u shouldnt be on the computer then, lol

[doodlestroodle]

It's a great capture, but what you've got there is a reflection of a fairly close strike. If you pause it at 1:52 there's a faint image of lightning, which you can exactly superimpose on the main strike seen at 2:30. You said you felt it, and that's quite possible as ground currents can travel for some distance, depending on soil conditions.

[camelloops]

no ghosts... just streamers lightning travels up..

[Cchrisbud813]

The streamer you see is not a real bolt. It is actually a partial reflection of the bolt in the camera lens, known as the "ghosting effect."

[LustxFilledxEyesx13]

Nice, indeed. See, the things we put at stake for the thrill of nature. I've been pretty close to lightning and jolted, but never hit. You're a survivor man.

[sebring31482]

I am glad you are still alive to tell about it. Forget these kids saying this is fake, they are obviously too young to understand what lightning can do. I've had a bolt hit the road in front of me while I was driving.. scary as hell.

[ChrissyCollier]

Definaltely not a fake! You can see the streamers coming out of the ground, before the bolt. Gald youre ok!!

[camelloops]

this was a real storm and a real event..i also have a video of the damn double rainbow after this storm but i guess thats fake too huh ..you will have to make up your own mind.I will never forget that day!

[keado]

lol, didnt look to real to me, the one that hit you anyway supposedly.

[chazymotto126]

woooooooooo...that like hippe stuff man...*not to mean or any thing* but dude it must at least shock you or some thing rite??

[Proracer41]

Those Are Great Shoots Man, Beautiful Streamers As Well As Some Good Bolts. You Be Carefull Man I'll Have Some More Of Mine HopeFully Soon. Two Thumbs Man.

[safaria5]

holy...........

[camelloops]

xramunas13 you are an idiot...but i will leave your comment..this is a real

[xramunas13]

fake

[csengeri]

Woow!

Creepy!

Did that last one struck behind you?

[mrzoda08]

Is the "music"on the movie from Resident Evil 4 to playstation2?Sounds like it..

[CrazyAbe101]

ohh dude that sucks. im glad you okay though :)

[mannyisok]

wow that was crazy

war of the world shit

[CandleLites]

creepy scnee

[xxdamonxx77]

That must have been a horifying experience. Be careful though- lightning does strike the same object more than once. This forest ranger was struck 7 times in a span of maybe 10 years awhile back.

[Aceofspeaades]

XD take that god said

[KhanSL]

the faint glow u see b4 it strikes is called a positive streamer. several rise out of the ground at once but usually only one gets a negative contact thus producing lightning. yours is only the second one I've seen caught on camera.

[camelloops]

I used an 8.0 megapixel kodak and i have original film and it is amazingly better than this one in quality...(quiktime file) when i watch it i relive it....it is so differnt than this...

[camelloops]

ahh very funny ....it was scary as hell i FEAR LIGHTNING NOW AND I NEVER DID BEFORE ..IT CAN GET YOU ITS AMAZING IT DOESNT HIT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

[MCR4LIFE876]

"AAAGGHH! MY FEET! I FELT IT" lol

[cowboyzsuk81]

thats the ghost affect somewhere around 2:04

[Tylergoth]

3:47 kinda looks like an Angle lol

[Skiline99]

Wow thats weird! At 01:15, a few seconds before the large strike there is a small discharge on the right of the screen. Out of interest what were you wearing on your feet? There is another video of a guy working on a motorbike where something similar happens, its called "Man Gets Hit By Lightning - Well Sort Of" Check it out!!!

[DjHardaFasta]

Thats a reflextion from an out of shot lightning bolt! which normally makes the lightning look closer then it actually is!

[bigc072004]

lol that lightning was like "YO BITCH STOP FILMIN ME!" lmao owned

[melancholypants]

fake, you werent hit by shit. all you felt was the ground shake from a fierce distant hit.

[melon1495]

well they obviously slowed down the video to see the lightning at the end. :]

[629aaron]

hffffffffffhk

[629aaron]

DANG!

[Tekkin58]

When did it happen?

[99999200999993]

dame its all grey then all of a sudden he looks back and its all purple then theres like a huge ass bright light

[camelloops]

i was already hit before i said anything or even moved the camera it was holding me..it happened so fast... xLukinx i cant explain it i just know what happened..

[ice9fetus81]

how fast?as fast as a lightning?LOL....

[xLukinx]

If you were struck,then you wouldnt just fall back and still be able to talk, and also, if you try to pause when the lightning is supposed to come there isnt any sign of the lightning..

How can you explain that?

[KingdomAwaits]

Positive streamer.

[KingdomAwaits]

In other words... your really lucky... and that lightning gave you a break.

[KingdomAwaits]

Lightning makes many objects below it send off little flares of energy before it hits the ground. You didn't get hit by the actaully main bolt. It selected you as one of the targets though.

[seanyboy741]

camelloops.. check mine out. i almost got a direct main bolt hit not just a finger lol!

paint shop pro is not this good lol

[camelloops]

this is not paint sop pro effect it is real as it gets u are an idiot if u think i faked this...i guess the rain is fake too....

[shmigely]

lol thats a paint shop pro effect :D

[stormspinner1]

DAWG! They'll get ya every time. Excellent, adding to faves.

[camelloops]

the lighting on this day was worste ive seen ever thats why i was filming it..30 years in florida i have seeen some lighting

[UnboundVolts]

The acual bolt stuck on the other side of the road. The water on the ground conduced a bit of the electricity across the road and prolly branched out along the ground and hit you.

[rahrahworld]

sucks for the guy who got hit lol jk

[matysek123456]

ghost efect,positive streamer !!! ... OH MY GOD!!!

[nicholas13579]

nice resident evil 4 song

[GeorgeandTeresa]

That is some great footage. Good job

[camelloops]

people have told me that the smaller bolts leaving the ground at my feet are static from holding a metal camera and the bolt was close enough to pull a charge.

[Onweergek]

Its a ghosting effect, it's a reflection of the lightning bolt wich strikes farther away, however.. it was still pretyy close!
