Dude, did you hear about the guy who played Christ in Passion? He was hit by lightning AND once when they were whippping him the whip missed the board and ACTUALLY hit him, left a long scar too.

What I am amazed at is that ore of us here don't walk in on a near daily basis bitching that the Divine (whatever we may percieve that Entity to be) has blasted us with lightning once again.

Hadn't spotted the latter posts, but lightening striking him twice is a bit far fetched.

A single strike in that location is also pretty unrealistic. Surely lightening would have hit one of the taller tress, or maybe one of the two cars rather than the smallest target in the area.

If you pause the video right when that first lightning hits, look at the shadows of the vehicles.

The light from the lightning would be going outward from where it hit, but the shadows show there is a different light source.
