quote:

A Louisiana woman's lucky to be alive after a frightening encounter with mother nature when a lightning strike obliterated a tree, sending thousands of pieces flying ... and it was all caught on video. The incident went down in the small town of Morgan City, Louisiana -- about 86 miles west of New Orleans -- where home security footage captured the moment Sarah Ribardi came incredibly close to being struck by wood shrapnel that came flying in her direction after the tree near her home was reduced to rubble in less than a second. Watch the video ... it's incredible the woman was able to immediately run back inside after the huge tree splintered. The video, shot Friday, shows a nanosecond of a bright flash ... and then a deafening crack.

The beauty and power of nature taking out that tree is incredible.

That cat at the end cracks me up.

Probably the same storm that came through Houma yesterday. Beaucoup lightning.
I Made my weedeating guy take cover because he thinks he is immune to lightning.

I was getting my trash can in after work and it hit a tree in my front yard. It sent splinters flying kind of like in that video. Fried about 2k of electronics in my house too.
