Police Dash Cam Captures Lightning Strike [VIDEO]
The most dangerous part of a thunderstorm? Lightning. I've never been close to a lightning strike before. I've heard of people being in a home or structure that was hit by lighting. The loud bang, the burning smell and sometimes even a fire. A police officer in Mississippi was nearly hit by a lightning strike last week. His dash cam captured just how close it came.
