 Thunderstruck Thessaloniki!!!!!!!!! (Greece) by Manolis Thr. author's comments: A major thunderstorm hit tonight Thessaloniki!! After the heat and the humidity we had all day, just after the sunset, a multicell began to form west of Thessaloniki. I prepared my camera and head for the sea-side walk of the city where it is a nice place to catch some lightnings! This storm was extreme... Torrential rain, severe winds, and an enormous frequency of lightnings hit the city with the result of many flooded roads and buildings, total blackout all over central north Greece (central Macedonia) after one bolt that hit the central power station and many many car and shop alarms started to shout! Of course all the people were scared and they were trying to find a shelter..

The 130 foot tall statue which is located on the peak of the Corcovado Mountain, was stuck by lightening during a storm in the Brazilian city displaying this divinely electric image. Named one of the modern Wonders of the World in 2007, the statue which is the largest one of Christ and can be seen for miles appeared unscathed from the miraculous bolt. { Photo was taken during a lightning storm in Rio de Janeiro on February 10, 2008. } [metro.] + [DailyMail.]

Jet,
I found this one in the news today oh oh ...seems likely that it's another shot/perspective of the storm in the vid you posted above  Lightning strikes both the Willis Tower, right, and the Trump Tower in downtown Chicago, Illinois, as a severe storm rolls through the region on Wednesday, June 23, 2010. This view is from the Hancock Tower. (Chris Sweda/ Chicago Tribune) |

Such is the powers and beholded-ness(?) of my coincidence monster, BadNick.
I'm positively "electrifying" with my good luck/ bad luck timing. It "shocks" me, too, at times. This is one of those instances in which I'm two (times) late for something, this time being: 2 months.
