User Rita Krill uploaded this footage of a lightning strike that happened at her home, which most users believe to be in Florida due to weather reports and, well, her accent.

The video is less than 4 days old and it's already been watched half a million times, most likely because of the shocking effect it has on viewers.

Mrs. Krill was filming a thunderstorm from inside her home. You can see trees swaying under heavy wind and rainfall through the large glass window, as this woman is capturing footage of this “real rootin' tootin' little rainfall.”

When lightning stroke, you can feel her anguish as she panics and almost drops the camera. Surprisingly, her dog doesn't seem disturbed by the series of events. He lies still and observes, even though this could have become a disastrous situation. It must not be his first thunderstorm.
