Old video but just saw it. Seems like it's real and not just edited? Quite a run bad...

I've been in a storm where lightning struck a few metres away, but I've never been hit.

That seem unlikely to happen :f_eek: I know that people can survive a lightning but no way in hell somebody will get hit 3 times and just walk away every time.

Unlikely, yet not impossible...

I doubt someone can bring his consciousness back in just a matter of minutes after getting hit with lightning what more if you get struck 3 times. I found the video very funny though. :f_biggrin:

It does appear that the video is a hoax -- see the link above

I see the cat very comfortable from where he/she stands. Though the video can still be useful for memes. :f_thumbsup:

I had hoped for a more scientific video, but a spectacular one will do...
Lightning frequently strikes tall objects repeatedly

If you are outside you can better lay down and not close to a tree so far I know.
