Cool video. Glad I haven't gotten that close to a strike.

Yeah! Cool video, alright.
Did you read the comments below the viewer? Some turkey tried to claim it was faked. Then he said it was okay to stand under a tree in a thunderstorm! Some called him a dumba$$, but I think he's a sadist. Or he works for the Darwin Awards committee and he's trolling for candidates.
I have seen video of a closer strike than that. Some chasers were rolling down a highway when a bolt hits the hood of their car!
That was scary!

Thank you Karen for posting the video link
, that is one very sweet video clip I remember that clip, as I had watched a clip on google video, that shows just that very thing
I don't know about you guys, but I would love the idea of getting close, but obviously not too close to a lightning strike
, the closest strike that I've had, to me, in distance away would be about a 1/4 mile, maybe a little less, than that, and the best thing was, it was a positive strike, from the balcony, all the way to the basement, and the thing I loved best about that strike, was that I could actually feel the static in the air, as well as the explosive sound of the after shocks (Thunder)

P.S. Check out this character, who is very lucky that he didn't get zapped worse, than what he did... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djZo00FeYcQ
