00:00 We're going to begin in western Nevada where a lightning strike causes a massive boom. Check it out.
00:05 A surveillance camera caught the lightning strike on Monday in Spanish Springs, Nevada northeast of
00:17 Reno. It's not clear if there was any damage but the boom was certainly heard throughout the city
00:21 and the neighborhood and this is a piece of evidence that it doesn't have to be raining
00:27 where you are. I was just going to say that and the blue skies all around sunshine shadows I mean
00:32 there's probably a cloud overhead but you really can't tell. There's likely a thunderstorm somewhere
00:36 behind the perspective there but they call bolts from the blue sometimes when lightning strikes
00:41 away from the periphery of an actual thunderstorm. Certainly a scary site thankfully though it
00:46 doesn't seem like anyone was injured there so some good news. We're going to head to Oklahoma next
00:50 where a man was caught off guard by a water spout while fishing. There goes a good one. The water's
00:57 swirling directly toward him on Monday and it appears to get awfully close before dissipating
01:02 over land. Apparently his hat was sent flying there but uh otherwise. Visual look at the little
01:08 wake that it left behind. Yeah interesting sight there. So kind of curious did you catch anything?
01:13 I don't know. Did you catch anything afterwards? Does it stir up the fish a little bit? That's a
01:17 That's a good question.
01:18 Maybe not.
