Sparky doesn't give a f*ck about you and your lightning bolts Zeus.
Everything about this is epic. This outrageously lucky bison from Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa survived being struck by lightning in 2013.
At this point we're unclear whether or not Sparky's spar with the afterlife bestowed him any supernatural gifts, but seriously, stay tuned.
We can never get enough of the truly awesome spectacle of nature's destruction.
That's where this new video showing some lightning rattling the sky in one of Patagonia's beautiful volcanoes.
Early this year we were treated to a another dramatic showing when the Calbuco volcano spewed an ocean of ash and smoke into the atmosphere.
Nature is so cool.
Zeus celebrates Pride.
Photographer Greg McCown captured this incredible picture of a bolt of lighting streaking through a clear arcing rainbow.
As McCown says on his Facebook page:
Finally! After years of trying I finally got my lightning and rainbow picture. What an awesome evening. I headed out late afternoon, shot a little on the SE side, then drove across town catching up with Bryan Snider and Chris Frailey, two awesome photographers/stormchasers. We shot for a little while, then got dumped on by a microburst while driving up the freeway. I-10 slowed to a near crawl, with half the traffic pulling over and stopping completely. Can't blame them as visibility dropped to 20 feet. At the next stop Bryan and Chris headed NW back towards home and I headed SE towards this rainbow. I was just trying to find a foreground without telephone poles or other junk in the way. Found it just in time as this was the last bolt to strike before the storm dissipated into nothing.
It's certainly not the only pretty picture McCown has taken. You can see a whole lot of beautiful shots on his website.
God paid a visit to Maine this week, and it was scary as Hell.
A high school student in Grand Isle recently captured the insane moment that lightning struck the steeple of a church.
Carl Bouley was filming the rain over St. Gerard Catholic Church from his porch across the street when it happened, and his volunteer firefighter father went over afterwards to check on the damages.
The church has has actually been struck before in August of 2007, according to the Maine Sun Journal.
“It kind of scared me a bit,” he told the Journal. “It felt like a small shockwave hit.”
A second camera was able to capture what happened on the ground below at the exact same moment.
Great Scott!
Huey Griffiths captured this video of a giant electrical fireball that was caused by a lightning storm in Montreal. 350,000 citizens of Quebec were left without power due to the storm that included winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour.
WARNING:: Some profanity is included in this video.
Check out this footage of a Tokyo commuter train taking a direct hit of lightning while crossing a railway bridge. The carriages briefly lost power as a result of the strike, but no one was injured and the service resumed within 10 minutes.
Redditor AJ192 took this spectacular photograph of a lightning in the middle of a fireworks show at Balloon Fiesta Park in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
