Amazing video of lightning strike hitting hand!
This is amazing and disturbing at the same time. In case you were wondering, she is totally fine.
Here is this flickr users description:
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.

OMG! I’m so glad you’re OK — that’s something I hope never happens to you again! You might not be so lucky the next time.
Lightning hit a 12 year old in a neighborhood close by last year and she was not so fortunate.

Hi Margaret-
Just to clarify, this video isn’t mine and this isn’t me, I found it on Flickr. I don’t think many are this fortunate, which is why I don’t mess around when lightning is in the mix. Thanks for stopping by.
