Lightning Strikes 10 Feet In Front Of Me

[eedobaba7726]

lol, fake. the tree would be on fire. and he would have been blown back like 5 feet by the blast.

[p3erf80g4949]

@eedobaba7726 go watch more movies

[alexcia123]

[MrJasonsecret]

.looC

[sfwrfwfwfrfrrrrrrfff]

First off for al the dumb fucks calling it fake your stupid as fucjk its called the ghost effect it makes lightning seem closer it was prob like a 100 dum fucks i hate self absoured ego manics who think they no everything

[56BUICKRiviera]

@sfwrfwfwfrfrrrrrrfff OK Granma

[Jekwrestler]

you say 10 feet but that was not the initial path the bolt took. you were prolly like 100ft away. i know what 10 feet is like and it is not a fun expierience.

[PositivelyBored]

The strike was like you said, at least 50 or 100 ft. away. I have been struck and also been <100ft within several other bolts....this was a fairly safe distance believe it or not. LOL

[JedtheMarine]

This is the most fake youtube video i have ever seen. Can't you put some effort into it? I like how the lighting goes through the tree; it just sways gently in the breeze unaffected.

[slapurmommaz]

I don't think it was as close as you say, but close enough for me.

[mblood486]

fake

[kingbrenty]

fake.

[bradXshuffle]

It hit that tree across the road. Open your eyes kids....

[cg1725]

You: --the weather is very bad...

Lightning: (immediately) BOOOM!!! you bet i am!

[DivinityzBeAsT]

@cg1725 LOL!!!!!!

[YokRzeznic]

The fact that he reacts like a coma patient to sudden light and booming noise makes me think this is fake...

[SmashCOBamberg]

i've watched many lightning videos before and am wondering why everybody who films a close lightning strike has to say "Oh my god" or "Holy shit"

[Jikk]

@SmashCOBamberg

Why would you wonder that? If you had a close encounter with death, you would react the same way. You should probably do your math on lightning strikes to comprehend this.

[SmashCOBamberg]

@Jikk yeah sure I would react the same way but it's still kinda funny that everyone says the same

[Jokester1338]

@SmashCOBamberg You have no idea how loud lightning is and how crazy your hert rate jumps when you see this

[SmashCOBamberg]

@Jokester1338 I do and as I said already I would probably do the same.

[iamtheflashdrive]

Yes, but when you're close enough to lightning (like 10 feet away), you eerily don't hear anything due to the fact that you are inside the sonic wake.

I had that happen to me once while driving, where the lightning hit the stop light in front of me - big flash of light, goosebumps, the light went dead for a minute, and the only thing you could hear were raindrops.

[awesomelightning]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

[rubenblom]

the tree doesn't seem to suffer from the crash? fake or what @matysek123456 sais, ghostlightning

[awesomelightning]

@rubenblom some trees arent affected by lightning strikes.

[WolfLoverism]

I would've crapped myself. I have a phobia of lightning and thunder.

[awesomelightning]

@WolfLoverism LOOOOOOOOOL! I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT! get out of my way so I can watch the lightning, puny brontophobe!

[APIC4PINY4L3G]

@WolfLoverism yy

[WalkThePath87]

don't understand why everyone is saying this is fake.. why would people fake a lightning strike..?

[MaleBretonFinn]

Yeah, bad fake. Try again!

[awesomelightning]

@MaleBretonFinn idiot That isn't fake/.

[sugoi49]

The lightning was nowhere near as close as it appeared in this video; the "lightning" you saw was the effect of the flash of the actual bolt (off-screen) interacting with the lens coatings. You can get the same vertical lines by pointing your digital camera at the sun (WARNING: May void your warrantee).

[GameSharkWizard]

The tree would have split and catch fire and you'd be seeing stars if it struck 10 feet away.

[amberrbamberxox]

if lightning was ten feet away from you, you would prolly be dead

[awesomelightning]

@amberrbamberxox u must b joking! if lightning hit ten feet away, thee is a high chance ull survive! u have 90% chance surviving a direct hit from lightning!

[weirdalfan1980]

Th weather has gone bad..... (BOOM) probably to worse there :D

[racer927]

@Baldovsky Really..... Some people are more calm then others

Just because your scared Shitless by a Sudden lighting strike or something like that, Does not mean everyone else is,

By the way maland cool vid

[awesomelightning]

@racer927 I wouldve shat my pans cauz it wouldve been the culist thin evaaaaaaaaaa!

[23viktor23]

yeah right just a close strike but nowhere near you

[Italia543]

wwwoowww so fake....

[moz2011]

All these people are disputing you on 10 feet... Haha well clearly they've never experienced being that close to a strick! It might be 30 feet away but you don't know the difference! Haha, anyways cool video man the strick could not have happend at a more perfect time haha

[XeonProductions]

fake and gay

[mynamesDevon]

@XeonProductions

gay and fake

[CaptusGaming]

its fake. it is lighter then day out there!!! lol

[dizulu17]

lol this is so fake

[iSpawnedAnElephant]

FAKE

Nice special effects

[darkmagic721]

your the luckiest guy I ever seen!!!!!!!!

[plateshutoverlock]

its a good thing the tree didn't explode from that strike (it often happens)

[JeremiahDaradal]

you sound the that guy from bleach with the blonde hair and the hat! btw! thanks for uploading this video! cool!!

[sacrament95]

good special effects

[KuzonTheGreat]

"...in Oklahoma, the weather has gone bad"....BOOOM!

[geonerd]

It's just lens flare. The lightning was a long ways away.

[MurakumoElite]

did you feel your hair burn?

[andrewschiffer]

@MurakumoElite, hair burn?! what are you talking about?

[DigitTea]

Wow...

[strwbrysccrballs2009]

fake. If it really went 10 feet in front of you, wouldn't you run for safety? Or even just shake, the body giving a sign of fear?

[bigluke1990]

close but not ten feet

[DigiTan000]

From bad to worse, I'd say. :D

[jbwebster]

Are you tired, aren't you? :

D

[merrypippindw]

Wow talk about up close and personal.... I would have dropped camera...

[blinkingblythe]

good thing the tree didn't explode and throw shrapnel, which they are known to do sometimes when struck! =\

[zbomer]

omg pause it at 0.06 u can see the lightning properly

[WasabiConcrete]

the lightning struck the tree, yet the tree barely batted a leaf.

[45678ret]

he was probably mistaken it was about 100 meters away so he was probably seeing it through the tree

[weeardguy]

@ 45678ret : it starts to thunder almost immediately after the flash: this was definitely very close.

[PSPSlimer]

pause it at 0:06 u can see part of the lightning

[handestry28]

that lightning was about 100 meters away from you (1 second between lightning and thunder equals 330 meters distance to you, and that was about a third second). But very spectacular although!!

[BarrieStylez]

@handestry28

i can't even count to 1 and i hear the thunder.

I think this was like 20-30 meters away

[qistina112]

mine is worse when i was walking home from my friends house and it was gonna rain then all of a sudden a lightning strike 2feet away from me and it was dammn scary and u can feel after the lightning strike my heart was beating very fast non stop

[siz0emo0re]

i bet you prolly needed to change ur underwear(: lol.

[matysek123456]

The lightning strike was very close, but not 10 ft in front of you. The lightning you saw in this video is actually a reflection of the real lightning at your camera lens. It's called "ghost lightning". So I think the real strike were somewhere 50 meters away.

[quantumbits]

@matysek123456 That could be, that would put the bolt above or too the side of the camera shot. If you stop frame, it looks as though the bolt is weaved into the tree and it does not look transparent like a lens refracted image. Also flash to sound (less than 1/10 second) puts the strike less than 30 meters or less than 100 feet So I disagree and I think the bolt just beyond or within the tree.

[LoveMcFlyForever]

thats fake! and the reason is cause if the ligthing strikes 10 feet front him then he would shake and cause of the sound and the camera should make weird stuff.....

[Mesocyclone33]

Lighning didn't hit the tree, it was a camera optical illusion. Happens all the time when u film lightning. Nice video though then again if it struck that tree 10ft in front of you, the energy from the lightning would go through your body and prolly throw you a couple feet. It would have been the perfect scenario for a "Side-Strike".

[Midnight24435]

You, sir, have epic steady hands. Glad you're okay.

[BryanBeatsYouAll]

woah, you didn't even shake the camera unlike ALL the other lightning vids i've seen!

[Cchrisbud813]

That timing was perfect! You say "...and the weather has gone bad." and the storm replies with a reinforcement to the claim. Nice shot!

[shimmerypink]

DANG IT THAT WAS CLOSE

[Hellafireleli]

Ghosting effect. it really hit that tree about 50ft behind the one closest to teh screen. but still a sweet catch!

[shaeguitar]

yea man i really find that hard to beleive it looks fake

[SkateDanne]

sick

[K7J7S7]

thats awsome u got that on camera guess ur good at filming!! =D

[amginena]

OMG! =o Step AWAY from the window... and while you're at it, find the thickest rubber-soled shoes you own... I'm watching just as what's left of Hannah sidles up to New England... top of my new chore list: clean under bed. I may be spending some time down there after watching THIS! Glad you're safe.

BTW - YouTube? The "related" videos are not helping my nerves! :D

[RatherBeRiding375]

Lol the weather has gone really bad *lightning* did you see that?? Holy....

[LALaGaYGy]

FAKE

[LoZxKitty]

woah... it made my heart skip 3 beats

[scetch2006]

Wow! Great timing! Glad you're ok.

[jsiggins]

nice catch.
