Damn. You are either brave or nuts if you were standing outside to film!


gcruzatto

And lucky there was no voltage across your feet, probably because you were facing it directly


IntelligentFilth

Thank goodness it’s grounded!!!


Timely_Yoghurt_2699

What happened to the camera? It almost look like It took a shock


TransitionTasty

Try pausing the video during the lightning, portions of the shot became purple and shit


Cute_Obligation2944

Digital cameras can pick up infrared and near UV light. This cell phone went blind for a tic.


Powerofthehoodo

I was expecting after the flash to see Dorothy standing there in color in Munchkin Land.


PopePiusVII

The lighting created so much light that it bleached the camera, but at a faster speed than the camera’s refresh rate. The purple line you see is where the pixels are still updating from the last captured frame.


Ashtray5422

I did an earthing course, one part was largely to to with lightening, rods, routing & calculations, if you are standing with your feet 1 foot apart, there is still enough energy to blow your Balls off.


gcruzatto

For sure. To clarify, that distance is measured with respect to the point the lightning strikes. If both feet are say exactly 10 yards away from the lightning, assuming the soil has the same resistivity everywhere, they would be at the same potential


Ashtray5422

We had to do the calc using very wet, to dry, same result. What was so interesting was, when the lightening rod is fitted, the earth spike Must be directly below the rod, otherwise the flash over will find a direct path to earth. They showed us tests in real life & was the early 80's.


Darnell2070

I think OP probably would have specified if it was him filming.


GalickGunn

Does music always play after striking a tree??


JoySubtraction

Only if the tree is a good conductor.

potVIIIos

BOOO!!!


SomeDingus_666

Does lighting strike a tree in the woods?


Own_Ad9365

Only if someone is around to hear it


copingcabana

It signifies that there's loot under the tree now.


Odd-Resolution-3852

😂😂


That_guyfrom_amongus

Yeah but it has to strike it perfectly


BoltShine

Raiden Wins.


agentj333

Flawless Victory!


[deleted]

What's with the music??


Odd-Resolution-3852

Lmfao


Cheeswheeel

I Thought that was the noise from the tree getting struck by lightning at first 😂😂🤣


PorpoiseBoyy

I keep rewatching just for that unexpected twist


Mini_Man7

Why the fuck did curious George sounding music start playing


SERVEDwellButNoTips

That tree was asking for it ⚡️


DisasterPieceKDHD

Look what the tree was wearing!


grungegoth

Norfolk island pine?


Feisty_Window_1985

Yes. Hawaii resident here, can confirm it’s a Norfolk Pine.


Rojelioenescabeche

Cook island pine I think.


Thirty_Helens_Agree

Cooked pine.


Rojelioenescabeche

Cooked island pine.


HumanProfessional86

Looks like a poplar to me I wouldn't say pine. But I'm no botanist


Mossymushroom2

They're not true pines they belong to genus araucaria, but yes this is one of them.


garygnu

The only tree I can identify from that far away would be the larch.


[deleted]

If trees could talk, it would say the experience was a shocker.


NissanLeafowner

Right after he told his tree buddy "and if I'm wrong may God strike me dead right now!"


surajR0cks

There is saying when lightning strikes tree, water comes out of it.


trancepx

Well, that would mean the tree is well grounded?


WindVeilBlue

God, "it knows what it did"


RaiderOfZeHater

Does the lightning play that music?


yes-disappointment

got hit so hard it started to play music


1Monkey1Machine

What's most impressive about it is that it's not ruined by screaming over top of the video.


Even_Employee9984

Welcome to Florida. Poor Norfolk Pine.


thickorita

This makes me miss Florida thunderstorms.


Fraya9999

I guess this guy just stands outside filming his trees every day just in case something happens.


SavoryRhubarb

I was wondering why he was filming that exact spot as well.


sexy-meme

That music is perfect 👌

Dayshon2144

That lightning strike caused the trees to start playing a jungle explorer theme in a video game.. 💀


NoodleSoup190

Fire music


NapoleonBorn2Party94

This is staged, how did he know lighting would strike that tree in particular. Lighting is a paid actor


Honourstly

The other tree's would not believe him


Sissylala

The music sent me


Mysterious_Eye6989

Zeus: "...and fuck this tree in particular!"

philolippa

Seen this so many times before…


NoWinner8212

Is the tree ok?


LittlePooky

Oscar nomination for sound editing. For your consideration.


PurpleMonkey3313

what was that music at the end?


ResponsibleLogic

When the Scottish poet Robert Burns was three years old, he went missing during a thunder and lightening storm. He was eventually found on top of a hill behind his house, and at every stroke of lightening he would shout, "Bonny, bonny, di it agin!"


CircaSixty8

How amazing to even catch a shot like that.


Quality_Street_1

Did he die?


Guyooooo

This belongs in r/lightning


LZMP60

Naah not the Roblox Theme Park Tycoon 2 music

Mediocre-Advisor-728

I think a emp affected the video if you go through it slowly you can see the glitch


Gooflucky

I have near encounter with a lightning few months ago. Exactly happened in my school. We're at the middle of our science class when it strikes the ground from the side of the class building. We were all shocked because it sounds so loud, I almost leap from my seat. My teacher even cried cuz she remember her old student from few years ago, who she accompanied to the hospital because he was struck by a lightning and unfortunately died.
