A stunning video footage of a young man who was struck by lightning while filming was recently shared on Jordanian social networking sites.
In the video, a young man was describing the rainfall in the southern Tafila Governorate’s “Basira” region.
Suddenly, during his speech, lightning hit his phone with a loud voice, which led to the fall of the phone from his hand, then he heard at the end of the clip, “Lightning hit the phone, the lightning hit me.
The young man wasn’t hurt by lightning, the footage shows.
It is important to understand that lightning is a natural occurrence that takes place when there is an imbalance in the flow of energy between thunderstorms and the surface of the earth or inside the clouds themselves, causing an electrical discharge between them to manifest as lightning light.
Thunder is a loud cracking sound that we hear shortly after seeing lightning light because lightning causes the air to heat up and expand suddenly and swiftly when it strikes.
While lightning may strike anything on the surface of the earth, and thus a person becomes at risk of lightning lights, and there are several ways that lightning can affect a person, and some types of strikes may be fatal, so immediate medical care is important to keep the person alive until the care arrives medical specialisation.
