Look at that tree up there. It’s got no idea what’s about to hit it. And what’s about to hit it is a big old bolt of lightning that’s gonna blow it the fuck up.
KABOOOOM.
The video comes courtesy of Cedric Haynes, a meteorologist in Texas.
Watch it again. Boom. Reminder, that’s about ten billion joules of energy going into that tree in an instant.
That’s a lot of joules, dude.
It’s never gonna be the same.
