Videographer Stuck By Lightning, Catches It All On Tape

September 15th, 2008

Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.. And if you want to make a metal railing joke…go ahead, but holding onto one is actually what kept me from frying.
