wow this is indeed a 5star video,thanks for sharing!
something similar happend to me on june 12,2009 on heavy severe thunderstorm in my area,i heard a big/loud POW POW POW thunder and next thing i know my smoke alarm went off and my tv and vcr went off(power still on) and vcr quit working(even it was plugged in to serge protector)..
Just after the transformer popped, I saw burning embers floating past my window, ran around the building to find the 30 ft. palm tree in the front yard was completely on fire from the top all the way to the ground, which also had scortch marks.
Must have been the strike just before the transformer went that lit the palm on fire. That thing was right on top of you judging from zero delay from flash to thunder.
The transformer did get hit directly, but didn't blow up immediately. The video is a comlilation of clips pasted together, the last of which is the transformer popping.
lightning hits only when it strikes, when i was 14 years old.... i have actually saw a lightning struck a transformer DIRECTLY, talk about one hell of a bang, after the storm passed,we all went outside to see if the transformer is still on the pole.... sure wasnt.... transformer is all in pieces as well as the the top part of the pole... they had to replace the whole pole, powerlines, switches, and of course,... transformer, damn talk about one hell of a bright light, it lit up the whole block
I love the ending because to me it felt like it exploded randomly. I also thought it was funny after the first stirke of lighting and the really loud thunder the guy was like "oh ho oh man!"
there is 6 transformers near our house, if lightning strikes on of them, i will shit my self!

I should point out it had been raining for hours, and that palm tree was soaking wet before it was hit.

@phupper It's nice to see the puff of smoke at about 0:10 when the strike hits: directly above/around the transformer, some smoke can be seen ;)
