the delay where you think it might be possible that the tree will survive and then…nope

Fantastic video! And it perfectly illustrates why you never rest under a tree during a lightning storm. Not for risk of electrocution, but because of the tree. When lightning struck the tree, all of the sap inside of it boiled spontaneously – that’s what caused the tree to explode. So you’re more likely to be injured by shrapnel, boiling hot sap, and/or have stuff fall on you than be electrocuted.
