The internet is littered with videos of people lucky enough to be recording at the instant when litghtning strikes.
Another such video has surfaced, but there is one element that sets this one apart from the rest. And that is the hilarious reaction to the lightning strike by the man holding the camera.
According to the Daily Mail, the man filming the video was on a beach near Sidney, Australia with his girlfriend. The video was viewed more than 400,000 times in 48 hours.
Just seconds after he warns the woman to be careful on the slippery rocks, lightning strikes the water just feet from where the woman is standing.
The man's panicked reaction is almost unintelligible because of his thick accent. He almost drops the camera as he scampers off the rocks to safety.
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SOME PROFANITY (we think)
