  • Amazing. I like how you instinctively said to yourself "time to get inside" and moments later there's a dangerous, epic strike very close to you. You've got good instincts

  • TELL whoever is bitching in the background to take a pill and be quiet!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow! had that exact same lightning in Orlando in 2004! :D great video

  • Oh i Believe u I have heard Thunder Claps from less then a mile away IT WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION !!!! No Question about it..Great Catch and tell ur dad 2 live alittle lol...STAY SAFE !

  • maaan... i will move to USA Florida (think that wrer the acour most lightning in usa, am i wrong?) just becurse storms lika that.

    And in sweden we have: 1 min, 2min, 3 min... still nothing. Maybe 2 wisble lightning strikes every storm. Atleast were i live :(

  • @cheetawolf I know. I would hate to be the pilot in this vid'!

  • @codyxcaution I live in Florida, the Lightning Capital of the U.S. Very close lightning is routine for us. We had lightning strike about 100 feet from my house one time. Also, there was a tree in our neighborhood that got struck by lightning last year. It blasted bark from the side of the tree and burned the grass around it. Amazingly, though, the tree is still alive; oak trees are pretty resilient.

  • @codyxcaution I live in Florida, the Lightning Capital of the U.S. I know what it's like, too. We had lightning strike about 100 feet from my house one time. However, I live in the Florida Panhandle, where we get less lightning than Central Florida, but we still get pretty close to the same amount.

  • I live in the lightning capital of the world - Central Florida, across the lagoon from Kennedy Space Center. If you ever see footage of the launch pad, on top of the superstructure is a huge boom - a lightning rod. On average the pads get struck something like 7 times a year. That's great footage. But the booms that make you shit your pants are almost routine to us. Rare to catch on film though.

  • GOD DAMMIT JEFF
