That lightning can be bad bad. Yesterday during the bad rain, I saw lightning strike so close by and so powerful, that the thunder that followed sounded like a busted speaker.

This video was taken by Anja Englert in Chicago on Sunday. Watch as during a car ride in the rain and lightning, a telephone pole on the right side of the road gets demolished by a bolt of lightning.

This is how powerful mother nature can be! Be careful if you are out in the middle of a thunderstorm.
