A United States of America resident named Romulus McNeill nearly got struck by lightening at ‘Academy for Technology and Academics’ in South Carolina, and it was under heavy rain.

The lightening’ struck just a few inches away from McNeill while he was walking through the way to the school’s exit gate, as he works as a counselor in the school.

The whole incident was captured by a camera set-up in the school’s compound and McNeill was quoted as saying; "It was raining cats and dogs earlier and it kind of had a little lull in it and I said I'll try and get out right then and it didn't work out that way. It wasn't that easy,"

He continued, saying; "I saw light; I tried to get up out of there like the roadrunner,"

"I don't want that to happen to nobody else. It was crazy."

McNeill revealed he doesn’t know the exact place the bolt actually hit, but the video shows that it hit the grass which was right next to him on the sidewalk.

He also revealed that he felt a buzz and jolt when the lightning struck right next to him.

A chief Meteorologist who first received the video was quoted as saying; "Either way it is possibly deadly and he's lucky to be alive,", "The bottom line is lightning can strike 10 to 15 miles outside of a thunderstorm,", "So if you can hear thunder or you can see lightning, you're not safe."

It’s highly advised that people should remain at home, or indoor whenever there’s a thunderstorm.

'Lightning' not Lightening, Mods.

God saved him. Same thing happened to me 19 years ago but this time in my room in the village. Something told me to get up and pray. Immediately I got my head up from my pillow and knelt on my bed to pray, omo a very big thunder struck directly on the same spot my head was on my pillow....for more than 10mins I couldn't move because of the shock. Shit is real!!!

Thank God.

Someone will still blame Buhari

Lightning fit miss for abroad but naija thunder na sharp shooter. e go smoke you

Mother nature at work..

The first time I saw thunder bolt almost struck a woman on the road was somewhere in Southern Nigeria. The bolt was just centimeters from hiting her. The funny thing was it wasnt raining. People told her to go and thank her God.

So, he missed a rare chance to become a DC Super-hero... Too bad.

And In Nigeria, we'll easily say "thunder fire you"
