  • looks like it hit a powerpole did u notice the multiple powerflashes?

  • @ohiostormchasers the next day i drove around looking for what the strike possibly hit and couldnt find anything. thinking it was much further behind the pole then it looks on tape but not sure.

  • What did that kid say? Holy snikeys?

  • @DocterLOLer ha. yes i did.

  • ya.. That snap was likely something emitting a spark. Im guessing it hit a power line?

  • @hbcali20 dont know what it hit. power went out for just a few mins. not real long. i did feel a static shock when the lightning hit, thats how close it was.

  • Who is chasing who here? Is the storm chaser the chasee here ? Wow ,That is spectacular and is a little too close for comfort.

  • Cool!

  • That was close!!! I heard the shock has it hit!!

  • I've had that same experience with the snapping noise caught it in my vid to. And needless to say the thunder was loud. Awesome catch by the way.

  • I don't know how close that is, but I've had one closer. One hit RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from my house. Only about 160 meters away, it was SOO loud.

  • très magnifique cette foudre
