A video that has gone viral on social media captures lightning striking a family truck on a Florida roadway.
A woman was driving on a Florida roadway when she captured an incredible lightning strike on camera. Michaelle May Whalen said she was in the vehicle behind her husband's truck, which was carrying her three children, as they were driving home from a vacation.
"It started to storm and I thought the lightning was neat, so I was trying to snap a picture of the lightning and missed every time. So my son-in-law suggested I slow-motion video record, and that’s when I captured the event on camera,” she told Fox13 News.
The lightning struck her husband’s truck. While everyone was uninjured, the vehicle was “completely fried”. The incident took place near Sunshine Skyway Bridge on July 1.
Hillsborough County Deputy Kristen Miceli was driving next to Whalen's truck when the bolt of lightning struck. Miceli's car was also damaged in the strike. The video was posted on Hillsborough County Sheriff's official Facebook handle.
