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.

I LOVE this. Editing was killer too. Something about it has me laughing still. Gotta love boombooms!

that "OH SHIT" was the best LOL
GREAT VID!!
I should point out it had been raining for hours, and that palm tree was soaking wet before it was hit.

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.

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.
