Lightning strike 50 feet from me
May 10, 2008 | Jonesboro, Arkansas | Vetting explained
I was filming hail, during a storm in Jonesboro, saturday, when a lightning bolt struck a tree just 50 feet from me, a minute later, another bolt hit about 100 feet away, just off camera...this storm snapped and toppled trees in various parts of the city and spawned several tornadoes in the area. No injuries were reported and just minor damage to structures. May 10 2008
