Lightning strike explodes tree as shrapnel flies toward Louisiana woman, video shows

Following a bone-shaking crack of thunder, a lightning bolt struck a Louisiana tree, causing it to explode and send shards of branches in all directions, video shows.

She was lucky to be shielded by the wall

I like the cat screaming through after the woman goes inside.



Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

Yeah, exploding trees are no joke. Good thing she stayed in the entryway. That could have killed her.

I am thinking she may have left a little pee streak in her wake.

If my estimate of distance covered and the time it took is correct, that cat was doing almost 14 mph. Eek

Who said lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place? Wink All joking aside, the awesome force of nature is most unbelievable. Thankfully the woman was uninjured.

It's said that lightning restores equilibrium to the load in your pants.

Or something like that

I was told

"When lightening strikes that close, that's God saying "Now that I have your undivided attention...."
