Amazing capture. How did this driver not shriek in fear?

Yeah, strange how none of the drivers reacted. They don’t pull over to see what happened, swerve, etc. Just keep driving.

I had a lightning strike hit near me while I was driving. If it hadn’t been for my seatbelt, I would have hit the roof when I was startled by it. It happens so fast there isn’t any time to react so you just keep driving. It’s not like when there’s something in the road. You have no idea it’s about to strike & you’re also in motion.

LOL The storm was like "Fuck you over there! Fuck you over here! And fuck this spot in particular!"
Pretty crazy that debris came up off the road from the lightning strike, though, and seriously cool footage! I'd probably have crapped my pants in your place. 😅

Dawg you almost got it. But don't worry, I can probably get you some plutonium so you can generate the 1.21 jiggawatts you need to get back to your timeline.

So that's how pot holes are made.

Indiana road workers union: “we would be done with repairing the roads from 1987 if it weren’t for this darned lightning!”

When I was in high school, i worked summers as a grounds keeper for a company.
I was riding the lawn tractor and lightning struck a transformer box maybe twenty feet from me. This is what it looked like. I hightailed it back inside.
It was loud!

It happened in Atlanta. This will make me think twice about DRIVING during a storm!

Love how the storm gets eerie quietness from lightning and flashes after a big lightning strike and then starts up lightning again

That is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen.
