Tree struck by lightning!

[MultiStorm15]

should be one of those gieco commercials "why picknicking was a bad idea"------

[chelsea17661]

christmas tree! :)

[ladyshadowmaggot]

aw....r.i.p  poor tree! X3

[EagleAwesome27]

5 people sought shelter under a tree during storm weather... =)

[Fernandez218]

you know, just cause you don't get hit by lightening doesn't mean you can't be killed from ground current. ground current occurs after lightening has struck ground, or trees, near you. the amount of current required to kill a person is around 50 mA, methinks and this is directly proportional to how spread apart your feet are.

were you hurt? or just surprised?

[ames1965]

lol my tree got stuck by lighting. it fell. on my house. HUGE damage. i really dont like trees now. especially ones sticking through my wall.

[rayzdayz]

@ames1965 bahaha sorry thats a horrible story but the last part made me crack up :P

[2Nyce4dagame]

Tree is like "Fuck my life -__- "

[mpapile]

Your intro/outro is half the length of the video!

[Tom6093]

Crap !!!!  I left my cell phone in that tree.

[theo122096]

i think i would have really had a heart attack just cause of shock.

[ThePXNDX77]

daaaam ill be shitting bricks hahaa!!!!!

[lynxboy11]

Awesome

[mariz2209]

that would be a good christmas light =P

[jdawgy87]

dude that is sweet looking

[vaibanez17]

Lightning that's cloud to ground is obviously charged from the ground up....ground charge attracts sky charge that meet up for a big strike

[vandelay10]

Extremely long and irritating intro + outro...

[darrenhuseyin]

You're safer sitting down in the middle of an open field rather than under a tall object like a tree.

Also, if you're outdoor swimming, playing golf, flying a kite etc. do yourself a favour and stop for a while.

[Gnuggets]

This just happend to the big pine tree near our house it cracked it all the way up and half of it fell down all the computers in the house fried the washer / dryer fried the tv coffie maker etc

[GTAJuaNDRiFT]

WoW!!!!!! cool!!! impresionant

[ShakunaBat]

Did the tree die?

[djpro007]

Well one such lightening just struck near our house, The sound it made was so loud, that every one around me was shaking for few first mins, it felt like a multiple bomb explosions near ears.

[RespectMyGangsterism]

finally some good video proof on how lightning comes from the grond up not the sky down

[BNSFSD40]

that happened 2 me once exsept the camerea blew up.

[pink297]

the description is right because if your in a thunderstorm and take shelter under a tree....DONT DO IT because lighting usually strucks the tallest things

[supertrampolineteam]

thats incredible

[crockyoshighty]

Awesome!! Now that's what I call, A Christmas tree! What a bit of luck to shoot that. That has to be the best lighting strike I have ever seen. TFP :oO

[P999FFB]

Wow that was pretty cool!

[19Pakman93]

ure lucky man

[CinemaGaming]

WOW good thing it didn't strike you!!

[frogxyz1337]

if you saw that purple and pink at beggingin that was emp (electro magnetic pulse)

[western227]

what color is lightning?

[JCtheunknown]

sometimes white sometimes purple.... well it only about tempreature

[DareDevil1128]

ok ive seen better strikes where they burn after

[TheBourneAirsofter]

Pause it at :31 it looks like a lighted Christmas Tree.

[gentlemenRick]

@TheBourneAirsofter no dude pause at 0:31 it looks like a alien death ray lol.................. i know funny fail :(

[starkiller1190]

@TheBourneAirsofter lol it does

[XTwisternickX]

beleive it or not last night a tree exploded because it got struck by lightning that was less than 50 feet away from me and i have a huge chunck of it il make a vid about it prob

[LadyASG]

if i taped that i would be crying home running inside lol

[pinkmints]

wow, i cant believe that u saw that! u r lucky!!!

[jedijenkeez45]

omgosh that is awesome!!!!

[ahamrick9]

just saw this on the news!! Gratz ^^

[copperboy44]

i would have shit my self if i was over there

[puppylove4567kathy]

wow!!!now thats really scary so next time there is a thunder storm i am not going to stand under a tree!serously

[pipproc]

also, when a tree is struck by lightning the sap instantly boils and explodes obviously burning or killing anyone nearby, so ya know... stand elsewhere

[shanetobler]

classy stuff

[dragoon858]

lets see that, in instant replay!!!

[GeOcs]

super! :)

[girlygirl6888]

that was awesome

[jws54]

one time, I was at this store, and it looked like it was going to rain, but then it didn't. And then, once, my grandmother, asked me to go to the store but I wouldn't because if I was at the store it might rain. You can get killed, but I didn't. I think they should make stores against the law.

[Trillian2003]

wow lol I feel bad for the birds in that tree.. :S

[iChelsWebShow]

wow! thats scary!!

[wrestlefanatic77]

First time I'd ever seen a tree struck by lightning, believe it or not. Now I can't imagine what it would look like if someone was under that tree. Pretty intense stuff.

[KrazyPerson22]

it looked like christmas tree

[dizzi1221]

omg i saw the same lighting typ only in a car on a pole it did look like a big purple flash

[shadowassassin88]

why did everything just taste purple for a second.....o well that was cool i bet that was loud tho

[salemcripple]

Lightning is so awesome!

[luvskaterboiis11]

oh my..

i peed my pants lol

[derrillperrill]

Great vidio up too the point you shit your pants.

[Jamesisdrunk]

fuk scary man

[zelclerks2]

perfect example of lightning safety! poor tree though...

[floralaura73]

runnnnnnnnnnn we are being attacked by aliens!!!!!1

if u pause it before the flash it looks like a purple beam of light

[floralaura73]

not sure if that is just the camera screwing up cos of the amount of light / how bright the flash is

[BlagorianAlien506]

yeah i noticed that its pretty cool

00:23

[TheComputerMaster]

awesome

[copperboy44]

it looked like ut vaporized the tree at 1st

[tonbonthemon]

thats why you should never hide under a tree while it is raining

[raptorrider07]

what are you talkin bout everyone knows you should get the longest piece of sheetmetal around and hide under the largest tree you can find in a storm

[markhorneyuk]

did the tree catch fire?

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

i don't think it did, but i am sure it left the trail of lightning bolt trail on the side of the tree i saw that at my aunt's house, it was a large tree and left a long lightning bolt trail on the side of the tree, it sure took a lot of bark off side of the tree

[HellHound1992]

[charlotte556]

[stardollfan1]

Wen there is a storm with lightning and thunderstorm DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO UNDER A TREE, THAT ALREADY GIVES 80% OF MOISTURE READY TO STRIKE YOU

[zackomilk101]

DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN

[rexwolvin]

Fireball. Bet the person holding the camera is glad they weren't under that tree.

[ptokish]

[wingsofhope2]

[MadMage123]

The sap inside boils and the bark explodes. Really hurts apparently.....

[myface27]

[grendelee]

[myface27]

[pauliogazzio]
