Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.

Just 1/7th of what Roy Sullivan felt while a forest ranger in Virginia.
I was backpacking at 12,500 ft elevation yesterday above the treeline, and in a thunderstorm with nowhere to hide. Freaky. Glad I wasn’t video taping.
What brand video camera? I’m impressed that it kept working after a bazillion volts went through it.
Something seems fishy to me. That camera should have been fried. Not to mention that a charge passing from hand to hand is the most dangerous, as it has to pass through the heart.
I say fake.
Woman Hit By Lightning While Videotaping
No, she wasn’t.
…it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.
The lightning went from her left hand to her right hand without leaving any burn marks? Yeah, right…
“as I was not directly struck” is just BS… either you were struck or you weren’t.
This looks more like it was a firecracker on the ground… I’m sure I’m not the only one who have been within 50 yards of a lightning strike… the sound is just deafening. I would say that this is a fake.
I agree. I sounds like a firecracker. The camera would have definitely been fried and she would have hit the floor.
You are a complete dumb shit for standing outside, touching a metal railing trying to “capture the moment”! While I am grateful that you are not deceased right now, you are a complete, idiotic, mental, foolish, probably blond woman. Next time you do this, ground yourself with a lightening rod! I still cannot belive this happened! Moron. Now I have my very own “dumb shit” ringtone!
NATEFROG: YOU ARE AN IDIOT. COUNTLESS HUMANS ARE STRUCK EACH YEAR WITH LITTLE OR NO EFFECTS TO SPEAK OF.
YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR AS SOME ARE….. DO NOT GIVE MEDICAL OPINIONS UNLESS ASKED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON. MAYBE THE LIGHTENING NEEDS TO STRIKE YOU TO ENERGIZE THAT MELON THAT SITS ATOP YOUR SQUARE SHOULDERS.
TO ALL YOU OTHER IDIOTS WHOM SAY THIS IS FAKE:
SLOW DOWN THE VIDEO AND ADVANCE IT FRAME BY FRAME. THEN LOOK AT THE TREES TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN.
NOTICE ANYTHING YOU DUMBASSES: THE TREES ALL ILLUMINATE BECAUSE OF THE L I G H T E N I N G .
ALL OF YOU NEED TO READ BOOKS, STUDY AND MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK,…….. THAT NOT ALL DUMB ASS COMMENTS COME FROM THE HOLES IN THE FRONT OF YOUR HEADS
