Tokyo train hit by lightning

Here’s an incredible weather based clip for you. This video, taken in August 2013, shows a Tokyo commuter train getting blasted by a lightning strike. It’s pretty gnarly looking.

No one was injured and the car that was hit only lost power for a few minutes or so which says a lot for Japanese engineering skills.

Check out the sparks that shoot out the front of the train as it’s hit. Thunder is ace.
