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.
I like the cat screaming through after the woman goes inside.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

I can see why the she was scared or perhaps startled is a better term.

Be the last time she ever goes out in a thunderstorm.
Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

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.

Who said lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place? 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
