There are more than a million lightning strikes in the state of Florida every year, one of which was caught on dash camera video.
A Hillsborough County deputy was driving on I-75 near Tampa on Friday when her dashboard camera captured a massive lightning strike right in front of her.
According to the deputy, the lightning bolt hit her car, but she was not hurt.
“On Friday, this lightning strike was so close to a #teamHCSO deputy driving on I-75, that it fried her work car! Hillsborough county sheriff’s office wrote on Twitter. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Let this be a reminder, in a thunderstorm seek shelter. A house, business, or vehicle can save a life.”
