LOL! Great video. Don't worry about the swearing, I think everyone understands. Same thing happened to me, once & I swore the same way. It's SO LOUD when it hits! Did your pole catch on fire? Ours did & the firemen had to wait 2 hrs til the power co. turned off the power. Kinda scary.
I took a look at the slow motion part, that transformer seems to be unicorn type, and it seems it had no surge arresters, actually it does not even have a circuit disconnector, the arresters usually break during the hit and send the current to ground and the disconector has a fuse inside, both things usually prevent that incidents like these happen.
awesome, but, it seems that it was a short circuit on the high voltage lines of the transformer, it does not seem like a lighting strike, it has the typical bzzzz short ciurcuit sound instead of the blast caused by lighting strikes.. =)
nope i changed my mind, i can hear the boom after the hit... the sound of the porcelain insulations and surge arresters hitting the ground when they fall is pretty cool though =)
Awesome video and perfect timing when you said " it's really picking up now!" Too bad the camera wasn't pointed the other way! :)

That has to be the coolest lightning strike video I have ever seen. And you said you weren't going to catch anything!
I'm sorry, I know you had to be scared to death, but the slomo part was really funny. Still, I'm glad you were safe.

I kept expecting the lightning to hit the tree and then it hit that I jumped. I'd have dropped the camera and ran inside if that had been me.

Regardless whether it was a near-death experience or not, I ROFL'd at you're reaction in slow motion.

Ok that had to be scary as hell, but it was soooooooooooo funny in slomo.

Well if you watch right before the strike, you will see the sky light up "behind" the tree proving it was lightning.
