I've had two strikes land REAL close to me as a kid in Phoenix. One took out the neighbor's palm tree across the street and all the dads on the street had their garden hoses out spraying it down before the fire department arrived. The other struck a 69KV line/pole at the corner by my school as we were driving home at night.
I was coming home from work one day in Kansas. I had just parked my car in the driveway. It was kinda of cloudy but the sun was still out. It was going to storm clearly but as I was getting out of my car, I went to shut the door. This HUGE CRACK of Dry Lightning SMACKED the ground not 30 ft away in the street. You could smell the burning in the air. Just like #1 in the video. lol I should of bought a lottery ticket that day.. I missed Kansas Thunderstorms!
sometimes when i think about lightning imagine if it was never a thing and just started happening. it'd be pandemonium, utter panic, for who knows how long
so disturbing that AI makes Lightning look like scorching hot splooge from the heavens. but aside from those 2 weird ones, I could watch lightning strikes all day.
The lightning strike/ volcano explosion looks too poorly edited to even be AI. It’s like discovering photoshop in middle school and trying to get your friends to think some stupid stuff is real.
Guy down the street had lightening hit his house. Blew all the bricks off the front facad. Most of the wiring going to the second story went from his basement up a chase to the attic. That's what the lightening hit. There was ZERO copper left from the attic down the the breaker box and the contents of the breaker box were melted. There was a kitchen sink sized hole in his roof, and it started a fire that the fire department had to cut into his walls to put out. 200K of damage.

I love the exploding tree. We don't get lightning like that here ever...which isn't a bad thing I guess. My wife and the dog might go into hiding.

I’ve been offshore and the rigging gets charged in a storm and shocks you if you touch it. Carbon fiber outriggers are the worst for that

I was very confused about that for a moment. At least I got an explanation.

I *think* the last two might be AI. We'll probably never know though.

So, can someone explain to me why #5 looks like melting cheese and #14 (the volcano one) looks so fake?
atelectasis
They look fake because they are fake.
sneakypoo
Because it's fake? Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one.

pintDMG
Three, pretty sure the volcano was also AI.
kirmokum
pretty sure that's some kid playing with FX simulations AKA very bad CG.
pintDMG
It's certainly not real footage, but yeah, not necessarily AI, strictly speaking.
died0
I thought one was a tornado plus lightning... Please don't be ai, so sick of this shit
NarratesTheDarkerStory
the fifth one, the volcano one and the one after it are AI. the rest are real I'm pretty certain.
died0
I agree.
AverySomething
It's AI
died0
Yeah, the one where the lightning falls on the ground.....
AverySomething
It's not the only one. ;)

There's no 'e' in lightning, but there is in 'facade'.

The "first time?" Are you saying you conducted subsequent fingerings, despite the punishment of dismemberment?
