Watch: Lightning strikes wires in front of news crew
The FOX 2 Detroit news crew was covering the storm when a lightning strike directly in front of them took them by surprise. Listen to the shock of the man in the car.
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - When Wednesday afternoon's storms pushed into Metro Detroit, it was loud, very wet, and windy. FOX 2 was covering the storms throughout the afternoon, including a news crew in a parking lot near a highway.
That's where a bolt of lightning struck right in front of the FOX 2 News crew. You can catch it in the video above, and we've edited out the swearing – surely you'll understand – but the power of the lightning sends a flash on the screen and lights up what looks like two utility poles.
