When 38-year-old
Daniel Modøl went outside to film a distant storm he didn’t expect it would get
so close. He was safely standing on his terrace in Gjerstad, Aust-Agder, Norway
and shooting lightning bolts flashing in the area. Nature, however, had planned
something more.
While still in his
flip-flops, Daniel witnessed a lightning strike leaving a crater in his
backyard about 15-20 feet (4,5-6 meters) away from him. He wasn’t fast enough
to record the near-instantaneous bolt, but he did document the aftermath.
Modøl decided to
go back inside for the remainder of the storm. He found his ceiling fan off and
burn marks all over the electrical outlet where his modem was. I’d say that’s a
fair bargain, considering you just barely avoided getting blown to pieces.
