Yeah it reminded me of when they're creeping around in a zombie movie and someone makes a loud noise and they pour out of everywhere.

If you were to photoshop the car out of the video until the lightning strike, it would look exactly like a scene from back to the future

Dear OP, if my calculations are correct you should receive this comment when you see the DeLorean struck by lightning...
...first, I want to let you know that I’m alive and well and have been living in the usersub.
Lies. You said you were "well" and the contradict yourself and say you're in usersub. Can't fool me.

Makes sense, no way such a low quality camera would'nt be entirely blinded for overexposure at that distance. Lghtnng struck cars don't fume
CCD artifact?
WhatzitTooya
When pixels on a CCD sensor get over-saturated they bleed into nearby pixels, creating smear and blooming. Google "ccd smear" for examples.
KoRplussomeletters
That's pretty darn interesting in its own way.
JoeT85
yep, a lot of this doesn't make sense, especially that the lightening traveled down to ground level when there were higher buildings. fake
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
It's not fake. It's just not what the title described it as.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. "Fake" implies it was staged. You're correct it's just mislabeled.
HoboStabWound
Was wondering about that, since rubber tires should provide a fair amount of insulation.
sophware
Yeah, me too. With the 10% of the brain humans use.
Myth. Air is way more insulating and the lightning just crossed thousands of feet of air, 8 inches of rubber won't bother it at all.
Also, most tire rubber has carbon in it and is conductive.
The comparison would be between the rubber and nearby metal grounded objects at the same height.
Lightning does not always follow obvious rules. sometimes it's heading straight for something then veers at right angles, etc.

Is it possible that the smoke is from all the airbags going off at once? I was in a wreck and all i remember is thick white choking smoke.

This’ll probably expose a lack of knowledge on my part but doesn’t the car form a faraday cage so it’d pass the charge around the occupants?
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
That's exactly what happened here.The charge flows through the car body into the ground.Look at the cloud of water vapor as it hits the road
Water vapor! I was trying to work out what it was, smoke or something. Well spotted.
IRespondWithSpongebobGifsUsually
Correct, in theory they should be completely safe.... But you know manufacturing errors or post factory modifications can screw that up
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Completely safe untill they touch the outside of the car. You need to run up to a lightpole and touch it with your door to get rid of the
excess charge, or so I've been told on the internet somewhere.
khora
Yeah, but the cage gets hot, if not outright evaporated.
Demogorgon12
Evaporate a metal cage? Uhhh...
Yes?
I don't quite think so
You don't think a thunder strike can evaporate metal?
