A police dashcam captured a breathtaking moment when lightning struck a power pole along Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, on Aug. 11. The violent strike generated an explosive blue fireball during heavy rainfall, sending sparks flying across the roadway as live wires snapped.
The Mount Pleasant Police shared the dramatic footage set to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," joking that "Monday came in a little too hot!" while confirming no injuries occurred. The video went viral, with viewers marveling at the Hollywood-like spectacle and making Batman references to Gotham City.
Local utility crews quickly repaired the damage, though the stunning footage serves as a powerful reminder of nature's force and the importance of emergency responders during severe weather.
