Amazing Lightning Strike Explodes Telegraph Pole Video | The Awesome Power Of Nature

Anyone who has ever watched a thunderstorm from their window will know how awesome they can be. Awesome but scary, in all honesty.

However, I have never seen lightning destroy something as solid as a telegraph pole. Which is exactly what happens in this video supposedly shot from the dashcam of a car.

Details surrounding this video are thin on the ground, but it looks like it shows lightning hitting a telegraph pole and exploding it into lots of little pieces.

There are claims it’s a fake, but I can’t see how. As for an explanation, either the telegraph pole was saturated with water, or it had metal running through it. Hence the conductivity.

Either way, it’s awesome.
